Some Previous Happenings at evisa.com and JSL:

Mar 2001: The San Francisco based Visa International Service Association (credit cards) has filed suit against JSL Corporation in federal court, seeking to obtain the evisa.com domain name. For more information about this lawsuit, see our Lawsuit Information Page. (Note February 2002: defending this lawsuit has required a substantial portion of JSL Corporation's resources, greatly delaying development of the evisa.com site, including the Screenbook Computer Tutorial Library and the Screenbook Maker program.)

Jan 2001: JSL has begun development of a Screenbook Library for evisa.com. Screenbook tutorials are like picture books for teaching about computers, and are simpler and more effective than any other type of computer tutorial. Screenbook tutorials are created with JSL's patent pending Screenbook Maker software, also provided for free at the evisa.com and screenbooks.net sites. Currently offered in English only, screenbook tutorials on the site will eventually be translated into multiple languages.
