EULA

End User License Agreement - The legal agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser of software. It is either printed somewhere on the packaging or displayed on screen at time of installation, the latter being the better method, because it cannot be avoided. The user must click "Accept" or "I Agree" and the license does stipulate the terms of usage, whether the user reads them or not. Wiki [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_license_agreement entry].

SIMM

Single In-line Memory Module, is a type of memory module containing random access memory used in computers from the early 1980s to the late 1990s. Wiki entry.
