< COMMENTARY e

Technology high and low

recently had to 66 out a questionnaire that asked rne to name
my "favourite low-tech thing." I
wasn't sure what that meant, but
already overdue in responding, I
typed in something about good
magazines. I was able to cross the
questionnaire off my to-do list, but
that question lingered in the Form of
wanting to know what qualiftas as

later downloaded from the portable PC (prior to the

wireless features being incorporated) and sent over the
Internet. The new device is currently in use in in a few
theme parks in the U.S. The photographer scans the
subjects bar-coded ticket, then takes their photo. At the
end of the day, visitors can check out the photos they' ve

requested and (presumably for a fee) havesome or all of

high or low technologytoday.

Magazines (good or bad) are

clearly low tech because the 6nal product doesn't need

to be plugged in or booted up, but they require a wide
range of advanced and sophisticated technologies to get
them kom the idea stage to the point that they roll O6'
the presses.
For t h e R e dundant T echnology In i tiative
(www.iowtech.ofg), a group of artists based in Shel6eld.
England, low tech is old tech the older the better. The
gmup says its artists and technologists can 6nd creative
uses for any machine, however low its speci6cation:
3665, 486s, Amigas, 660xO Macs, 75 MHR Pentiums... as
long as they still work
While the equipment is far 6um cutting edge and
the Web site sports a deliberately low-tech interfacemembers of the initiative and its Access Space media lab
are using it to create quite sophisticated visual. audio,
and video art. The equipment is also used to create and
host Web sites for community organizations and local
startup companies.
At the other end of the technology spectrum sits
Gravitas (www.gfavitas.biz) a nd
Xybe r naut
(wwwxybemauLcom). The companies have integrated
Vancouver-based Gravitas's digital photography appli-

AllEuuuuaull pafk tmploytu lilkes pllalos wllh 68 6 Et/Iliu/Xyheynala

IuobileAssifunt
cations with U.S.-based Xybernaut's wearable computers. The result is a device for taking photos that can be
instantly uploaded to a server or the Internet. The wearable photo studio uses some of the newest technologies
available a professional-standard digital camera, flat-

the images emailed home or printed out.

The Gravitas/Xybernaut setup very clearly belongs in
the high-tech camp, but categorizing the RTI's use of
technology is less clear. The old systems are luring a
community into using computers and have spawned
creative projects and new commercial ventures. Instead
of high or low, maybe another adjective, like slow,

ere are plenty of other crea vity, design, publishing, and animation
programs that are built around vector graphics. They include presentationand project management Programs (Micrsoft PowerPoint and
VIRID), 3D animation software (LightWave, Maya, and SoftImage), and
computer

Deneba'
s (wwwdenebs.
com) Canvas 8 forMac 05 orWindows.It'san excellent aU-round vector and bitmap design package. A free evaluation version can bedownloaded from Daneba's site so you can try before you buy.

While Corel was distracted during the

late '90s by ig-considered forays into
Java, Linus, and office suite publishing
ventures, Adobe systematically moved
into the Windows soffware market, eating up most of Coral's professional and
corporate customer base.
As it stands now, Adobe is unquestionably the stmnger company by an
order of magnitude, and isalso far more
widely accepted as a professional software brand. But is Illustrator the better
vector illustration pr ogra, or does
Corel still shine in its original product

category, the all-in-one graphics suite?

Adobelllosaalor 10.0

We lookedat the latest evaluation version of Canvas 8,and found very

powerfu
l scripting and automation features; improved Mac 0$- and
Windows XP-compgant interfaces; better pixel painting tools, such as

flexible gradient fills; and greatly enhanced typasettin'0 and berier vector/suavecontrols.Canvas 8 istechnically excegent and enjoyable to use,
and worth considering, especiaUy for students, home office or small bus!ness users, and prosumers. Canvas 8 for Mac or PC can be purchased
oniina from Danaba for about $595 fiar the shrinkwrapped version (or $525 for the registered downloaded version), and offers competitive upgrades to registered users of Coral or Adobe products.

face that is very compatible with

Photoshop and other Adobe software,
and generally good integration with
Web publishing standards.
The best new features of version 10.0
include the Symbols support. You can
take a complex object, define it as asymbol, store it in a customizable palette,
then use it multiple times, in one or more
documents. When the symbol is modiUed or replaced, every instance of its use
in the document is likewise changed, A
great producuon processimprovement.
A number of illustration toolshave been
introduced or improved. Among the
coolest are a lens ilare special egect, and
Liquefy brushes that quiddy create complex texturedshapes&om simple orightals.
Of special interest to corporate print or
Web publishers and legal or institutional
users, is the abiTity to easily link
Ulustrator's templates to a database. For
the small design house or small business,
this feature is lessuseful than it might be,
as it requires some expertise with
AppleScript or Microsoft Visual Basi.
However, for companies with database
programmeis available, this feature alone
makesUlustrator I0.0 worth the purchase.
This version also makes life easier in
some ways for Web designers, as it integrates HTML, vector, and bitmap
images in a single composite image,
allowing the best combination of these
three information formats. The result
can be striking but efgciently compact
graphic downloads. However, lgustrator
still lacks integral, easy-to-use tools for
creating common Web effects such as
rogovers or animations. This lack is a
signi6cant irritation and, we hope, a top
priority to 6x for the next version.
Ulustrator is the unchallenged igustration software standard for professional
desINTers. It still has afairly steep learning
curve, and a user interthce and feature set
that is complex and time consuming to
master at the pro level. However, in our

experience it is extremelystable and bug

free on both the Mac and the PC. Aswell,
third-party publishers oKer a wide range
of "how to" books for this application.
Tech support wasrarely needed, but when
it was, it was fastand expert. Adobe oifers

plus additional pay-as-you-go or annual
support contracts.
About the only real drawback with

its price, which remains at a profession-

ally high $575. For upgrades from an

earlier version, it is about $270. One relatively economical way for a small business to acquire Illustrator is aspart of an

ESDrew GraphicsSuite Ilail
CorelDraw quiddy dominated the PC

graphics software market when it was

released in l989, as it offered functionality and relative ease of use that previously had only been seen in Mac software.It
also bundled many features, utilities, clip
art images, and fonts in one modestly
priced package. However, from its position as thestandard for professional illustration software on the PC a decade ago,
Corel has bocn relegated to the semi-pro
and student market by Adobe Illustrator.
On the downside. CorelDraw has also
had a deserved reputation for bugginess
in its first releaseof every new version. We
received a beta of CorelDraw Graphics
Suite 11.0, and it lived up to tradition,
being quite slow and prone to &eezing.
Aside from that warning, however,

nearly everything else about the new

suite is very impressive. Once again. the
user interl'ae is simpler than Illustrator,
and fully user-customizable. This
remains an easier program to learn and
manage than Illustrator. There is support
for pressure-sensitive tablets, with new
smudge and blur brush effects tools.
T he suite also comes with an
improved version of Corel Photo-Paint,
with new features for creating Web
menu rollover animations. simpler
masking tools, and panoramic picture
stitching. As well, Coral R.A.V.E., a vector animation application, has been
optimized for compatibility with the
Flash animation format. It is 0 lot of fun
to use, and now that it has automated cel
animation capability applied to text, you
can create fairly complex Web animations involving movement, distortion,

and simple shape morphing.

Corel's pros remain its ease of use,
flexibility, and value. On the con side,
the first version we tested is slow, especially on an older PC, and slightly unstable. It retails for $750, or $589 when
upgrading from a competitor's software,
or $399when upgrading from an earlier version of the suite. Cl

Tablets: the natural

way to draw digitallyd

A look at direct-draw devices from
the '60s to the dawn of the Tablet PC
makes for good drawing.
nyone who has tried to draw on a

computer using a mousehas likey found that it's a lot less natural
than sketching or tradng with a pencil or
other drawing tool on paper. The disconnect between what the hand is doing
with the mouse down on the desktop.
and what the eye sees happening up on
the computer monitor's screen. means
it's almost impossible to guide the cursor

accurately while drawing with the mouse

or to develop the naturally subtle handeye coordination between artist and

paper and pencil, pen, or brush that

Graphics tablets, on the other hand. go

a signigcant step towards providing a
more natural drawing experience. You
move a pen-shaped stylus over the tablet
surface,
and acursor moves on thecomputer monitor in sync with your hand
movement. When using the tablet with a
paint pmgram like Adobe Photoshop, or
a vector illustration program like Adobe
Illustrator or CorelDraw, you can learn to
sketch. trace, or "paint" quite naturally.
The tablet also functions as a very
intuitive alternative to the mouse for
picking drawing tools and colours, making menu selections, and doing One

detail work like photo retouching. Still,

the fundamental disconnect associated
with the mouse is still there, although
less troublesome: you are moving your
drawing hand around down on the desktop, while the image appears on the
screen at eye level.

A second generation of tablet technology marries an LCD screen with the

tablet's sensing grid, so that while running a paint or illustration program you

can draw with a stylus directly on the surface of the display and preserve thetradi-

loop. This combination of ICD screen
and graphics tablet is now being ofFered
to a wider market, as it is incorporated in
the new Microsoft Tablet PC platform,
due to beofficiafi
y launched on Nov. 7.
The devices running Tablet PC are
ultralight (between 1.5 and 2 kg, or 3.5
to 4.5 lb.) notebooks with a tablet LCD
screen. They are the first really portable
handheld drawing and handwriting
computers to be available at something

The first electronic graphics tablet was

invented in 1964 by M.IL Davis and T.D.
Elliott at the RAND Corp., a research
"think tank" largely supported by U.S.
government grants (1964 was also the
year Douglas Engelbart developed his
first working computer mouse).
Tablets were seen as an improvement
over inputting commands via a keyboard, and were intended for use both as
pointing devices for selecting menu
options, and as drawing or drafting tools.
Over the next 35 years.many companies
developed tablets as input devices for
computers, including Talos, Kurta,
CalComp. and Canada's Anakin Research
Inc., which developed the Easyl drawing
tablet for the Amiga computer. The main
customer groups for tablets were designers, artists, engineers (for CAD), animators, teachers, and students.
I tested or used about 20 tablet models
between 1984 and 1997, and found them
very productive for animation, tracing,
sketching, and menu selection. In the
days before USB, tablet installation on a
PC using the serial and parallel port was
often a problem, particularly with the
balky MS-DOS and earl
y vers(ons of
Windows. The main graphics sofiware
titles used with a tablet included Fractal
Painter "natural media" software (recent-

ly purchased by Corel and added to its

By the mid-'90s. though, most of the

tablet makers dropped out of the market, and it became apparent that one
company, Wacom (wwwwsrom.com) was
winning the race to create the best
arti
st'stablets.
Its pressure-sensitive devices were simply the best: easy to install, very accurate
and responsive, beautifully designed
ergonomically, and easy to integrate with
all the common operating versions of
Mac and Windows OSes, and art and
design software. Wacom produced tablets
in wide range of sizes (from 4x5-inch to
12x18-inch) starting at about $149.
Around 1996, Wacom aho pioneered the
ICD graphics tablet, with its PL500 model.
Although very expensive (over $5,000, initially), the PL500 showed the way of the
futur drawing and painting directly on a
glowing computer screen that you could
hold like a sketchbook or lay on a desk like
a piece of paper, The PL500's screen was
still tethered to a computer,so it wasn'1 really portable like a sketchbook, but it was still
a wonderful drawing tool. More recently,
Wacom introduced the Cintiq an ICD
screen (15-inch or 18-inch) with a Wacom
tablet grid underneath the screen, a USB
connection, and software for Mac or PC. A
lovdy drawing, design, and pointing tool,
for about $2,800.

This summer, Microsoft and Windows
notebook manufacturing partners, such
as Acer, Viewsonic, and Toshiba. began
previewing pmtotypes of the new Tablet
PC (www.miaosoftcom/windowszp/lsblelpr/), a
Microsoft-defined standard for ultralight
notebooks with an LCD tablet screen for
pen input, and a special version of
Microsoft's Windows Xp operating sys-

tern optimized for pen computing.

The Tablet PC is aimed at segments of
the business computing market like
warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, health care, security. courier,
sales, education and training, marketing,
and "corridor warriors" who move &om
meeting to meeting where people need
to be able to walk around while using
their PCs.
The Tablet PC is not designed specifically foi the communication and design
market, but it is beautifully suited for that
niche. Although none of the Tablet PC
makerswe talked to would teU us where
the tablet technology in their Tablet PCs
come kom, we found links on the OEM
eng(neering section of the Wacom site
that referred to Tablet PC. At least some
models of Tablet PC appear to be using
Wacom technology. This is a good thing:
the Tablet PC pens, for example, are very
well designed and comfortable to use.
The Tablet PC is getting attention
from professional designers, even before
its off)c(al release. According to architect
and educator IL Edward Goldberg, of
Towson University in Maryland, "Tablet
PCs and direct-draw LCDs may become
an integral part of preliminary [architectural and engineering) design and
change the face of creative computing.
The software tools have emerged just as
a new form of computing coalesces.
"With the Windows XP Tablet PC
software coming later this year, these
Tablet PCs and direct-draw LCDs, combined with voice dictation and handwriting recognition, should open the
way to more natural drawing input.
"Ifyou want to draw, oreven move an
object, today's CAD software resorts to
such compromises as object snapping,
which automatically forces the cursor to
snap onto an objectwhen the cmvor is
within a specified pixel range. Directdraw input efiminates this disconnect and
lets you design and manipulate the screen
image in a much more natural manner."

If you are an experienced Photoshop
user or a graphic artist who wants to

favourofgraphicalpizzazzovergood Web
design. If yau're interested in creating art

noveaugraphic elements,a "gagery" Web

site, or to give your Web navigation
design a new look, there's something here
for you otherwise, don't bother.
Theotherprojects are good,and I can
even envision future applications for the
few that Iwon'tuse immediately.
Ihave to confessthat,on the whole,I

like the Magic series of books firom New

Riders.The landscape format of these
guides leaves room for both the illustmIions,the code behind them, and a run-

ning commentary. While you could probablyfi

nd some of this information on the
Web, this particular book format is well
suited to explaining the finer points of
the projects covered.
Photos/lop 7.0 llfagic is lavishly illustrated with lots of colour images, which
unfortunately makes it a bit pricier than
some other texts on the same subject.
Happily, the publisher has also included
a CD-ROM withthe book.The trend in the

computerbook industry these days is to

place all supporting files on a Web site,
butas Photoshop fi
les tend to be large,

wortha look.Ifyou are a Webmaster,I'd

look Ibr something geared more towards
your specific interests.

to impart would make "even Hindu priests

abandon their mountaintop spiritual sanctuaries just to buy whatever it is you' re

irreverence in a $60-pius computer book
you had better provide some truly worthwhile material, and to Scott Kelby's cred-

it, he does.

Some fast fixes for your bag of image-editing tricks

D

igital technology has made pho-

tography more convenient, but

it can't guarantee that every
photo will turn out perfectly. Too much
light, too little light, poor-quality reproduction these and many other faults
continue to plague our pica.
On the other hand. digital tools do
make it easier to repair and upgrade the
photos that don't quite work out. Here
are some tricks. well-known to the professionals. that anyone can easily apply
to their own images.

Contrast antt colour

Before you even think about adjusting
tbe colour or brightness levels of your
images, consider adjusting your monitor. You can't anticipate the quality of
every monitor or printer that will ever
be used to view your pica, but if your
own setup is way ofi' the beaten track,
you can be sure that very few people are
going to see your work at its best.

The professional approach is to calibrate your entire system. Adobe products

generally include the Adobe Gamma utility, which modifies your system-wide
colour setting. Unfortunately, the efFect
may not suit all applications (a darker setting tends to be more restful), and is diificult to reverse or bypass once installed.
A less intrusive solution is to adjust
your graphics sofiware. Most graphics
apps have at least a simple gamma
adjustment. All you need is a bit of
patience and a known colour-correct
referenceimage to guide you.
You' ll find several on Bill Harris's
Images Unlimited page at www.mindsp/ing.com/-woharflsf/csl.htm, and a more
exhaustive discussion within the Varis
Photomedia pages, at www vslis.com
(under Methods).
All you need to do is set your system
so the image looks right. Then if you get
an image that still looks overly light or
dark, you can be confident that it actually needs fixing.
The "ideal" image has at least one area

of pure white (255,255,255 in RGB

terms) and another o f p ure black
(0.0,0) which is typically what your
software's Auto Contrast function will
tend to ensure. However, this won't necessarily give you exactly the desired
range of shades in between.
Most often, you' ll want to rescue detail
that's hidden in the darkest or brightest
areas. The RGB curve in the Curves dialogue gives you total control over the
relationships between different shades in
your image. (In Photoshop Elements
2.0, th e F i l l F l ash a n d A d just
Backligbting tools do a remarkably good
job of applying two basic curves, at the
expense of detailed control.)
In the sample image, the backlit
motorcycle actually has a lot of detail
that's not currently visible. Boosting the
darkend oftheRGB curve can bring this
out. Naturally, there's a price: a washedout background at best, or some really
weird efFects if you try to warp the RGB
curve too much.
A reasonable compromise is to leave

and dark versions.

Alternative(y, you could cmp out the
bike entirely, as it has now become quite a
useful image on its own. Or you could get
fimcy:apply your RGB curve on a new
adjustment layer, then create a gradient
on the Layer Mask to make the elyect
stmngest toward the bottom of the image.
Colour casts are handled similarly,
using curves. Old photos can be amazingly yellow when scanned; and photos
taken under fluorescent lights are a

hideous greenish-blue. Sometimes, an

Auto Color tool can eliminate the cast,
but only if it can guess correctly what the

image is supposed to look like.

The trick is knowing that colour-neutral areas, including white, grey and
black, should all have equal amounts of
red, green and blue. You an check this

thisparticular case,it's easy:justselect
the lower half of the image before applying your curve. The result still looks a bit
flat, but combines the best of both light

A yellow cast will show up as a de6ciency in the complementary colour,
blue. To 6x it, open the Curves dialogue
and bend the "light" end of the blue
curve until you read roughly equal RGB
values in the white areas. (You' ll probably need to pin down the dark end of the
curve, to avoid getting bluish shadows.)
The improvementcan seem miraculous.
T he C olor C ast c o mmand i n
Photoshop Elements sirnpli6es the
process. It lets you click on any point
that you think should be colour-neutral.
then adjusts the colours to make it so.

Retouching
There are a number of forms of detailed
damage thatcan a66ct an image. and
m ay requireretouching. However, they
aU need the same techniques: primarily,
a judicious use of the Rubber Stamp or
Clone tools.
If the damage happens to be colourful,
so much the better. You can then use
colour Channels (provided your software offers them) to isolate the problem.
A best-case scenario might be a blackand-white photo that's had cranberry

juice spilled on it. Display the red channel, and the blemish would become glaringly obvious and easy to 6x. You
could paint it out using the Clone tool,

perhaps cloning hom identical areas in

another colour channeL Or. since the
image is monochmme, you might be
able to discard the red channel entirely.
A similar approach can help with the
common issue of "red-eye." In this case,
the problem is literally an area of red pixds. Chances are, therefore, that it appears
almost entirely in the red channel of an
RGB image. Working in the red channd,
you can simply paint the pixels with black,
or use the Burn tool to darken them.
You can also use a Red-eye brush, but
that won't necessarily do a better job.
Red-eye tools selectively replace the red
pixels, or simply paint with black, but
either way you still need to check that
you' re hitting exactly the right pixels.
Colour channels are a particular boon
to the nervous novice. You can do an
amazing amount of damage in a single
channel without having it show in the
Anal image.
Here's another example: If you' re trying to sharpen an image, say a portrait of
someone'sface,check the colour chanQIVR format, Apple introduced the first
program for genetating these movies,
OuickTime VR Authoring Studio. It was

for the original price of US$399.

heavy Unsharp Mask to this one channel, without bringing out any unpleasant blemishes.lf the image has that
blocky, over-compressed look, you can
pick the channel with the worst IPEG
artifacts. usually blue. and simply blur
them out with the Blur tool.
If you' re adventurous (or desperate),
you can even try changing colour
modes. to CMYK or LAB, which have
quite different sets of colour channels
that may show up exactly the problem
you' re trying to repair.
In Photoshop, conversions between
RGB, CMYK, and LAB are virtually lossless. Other programs, such as Corel
PhotoPaint, seem to produce colour
shifts when you change modes, so you'U
needto be more careful.

Panoramas
After aU the heavy repair work, why not
have a bit of pure fun. Digital cameras
make it tempting to shoot wide panoramic views as a series of pictures that can
later be stitched together. Photoshop
Elements 2.0 and Corel PhotoPaint both
have automated tools for this, but doing
the job manually really isn't aU that di(6cult, and o6ers much better controL
First, load up aU the images you want
to join. Check their' sizes, then create a
single new fde that's a bit bigger than
their total width. and a bit taller than the
largest height. Paste copies of each original image into the new blank one... then
close the originals to regain some working memory.

images ends up on its own layer. In other

programs, they' ll likely appear as separate objects. In either case, you now have
the freedom to move them around and
match them up.
In particular, you can apply colour
and contrast settings, as discussed earlier, to even out any variations between
the separate images. Also, you can rotate
the images so that they line up pr eperl.
Then comes the real trick fading the
edges. In Photoshop, you can do this by
adding a Layer Mask to the appropriate
layers, then Sling it with a horizontal
gradient. Corel PhotoPaint has an excellent interactive transparency tool that
lets you draw a transparency gradient
directly on any object.
Make the uppermost image transparent for most ofthe width of each overlap. Zoom in a bit on the overlapped
area and you' ll 6nd you can easily position the transparent image over the
underlying one, nudging it into perfect
registration using the cursor keys. The
two images literally "snap" together
when you hit the right position.
You can now Flatten Image (or equivalent) to combine the layers (or objects),
then crop away any unwanted background. Use Dodge and Burn to even
out any remaining variations in brightness, and you' ve got a virtually seamless
panorama.
The same approach works for joining
any type of images. For example, if you' re
scanning something that's too large for
the bed of your scanner, try to arrange
the individual scans so you cao join along
areas of limited detail, and you' ll be able
to hide the seams completely. Cl

Hooking up
New cards connect peripherals to your computer

By SeenCarruthers

o matter how loaded your computer is, you' re never going to

wants to help you stay in touch

with all o f your information
while you' re on the go, and it has just the
software to make that happen.

need right into it, nor would you want

to: digital cameras. MP3 players, printers, and more are all things you' ll need to
plug in. In the past, these external
devices usually hooked up to your PC
via its serial or parallel connectors, but
those two trusty ports are giving way to
newer, much faster interfaces like USB
and FireWire.
This month we look at the newest
cards available for adding FireWire and
USB 2.0 interfaces to your PC.

Note onpnYing
We received most of t h e pmducts
reviewed this month duectly Rom the U.S.
with pricing pmvided in U.S. funds. The
Canadian pridng we have given was converted Rom the U.S. pricing, and assuch is
subject to change as the exchange rate
varien there will also likdy be guctuation
Rom store to store and region to region.

Monthly tee:59.95 (or 599peryear)

The pricing as given is intended to

give readers an idea of the price to expect
rather than as a degnitive price point.

Firetulre
Ogicially known as IEEE 1394, this connectivity standard is better known by the
much catchier FireWire, named RRer its
relatively blazing speecL When it was
introduced, it was designed as a plug-

and-play replacement for the SCSI interface that would compete with the much
slower USB 1.1 standard (FireWire
checksin at400 Mbps compared to USB
1.1's paltry 12 Mbps).
Though it started its life as a Macintosh
technology, FireWire has since migrated
over to the world of the Windows-based
PC, especially for video-related hardware

I'm InTouch is' an application you

instag on your PC, which acts as a client
to the outside world. It reports its IP
address to a server at 01 Communique.
Then, when you want to access your data
while you' re away from your PC, you
simply point any Web browser to the 01
Communique server, and identify yourself with a username and password.
You' re then redirected to your data using
a peer-to-peer connection with your PC.
That's not a typo: you can use "any"
Web browser. I'm In Touch diminates the
need for special dients, which means you

Though it's marketed as a DY camera
companion, the DV Wonder also works
with other FireWire devices. like hard
drives and scanners. The card installs
quickly and. easily and we had it working
with both the hard drives and the DV
cameras fairly quickly using our Windows
XP system. Since it comes with the cable
and a copy of Vlead Videogtudith we'd
have to say this offers one of the better
valuesin the FireWire space.

The three-and-one design on I(eyspan's
desktop FireWire card is a nice touch if
you have any internal devices that make
use of FireWire (they' re few and far
between, but they do exist). Because
FireVcrrre controllers tend to only handle
three ports at a time, using the internal
port means one of the three ports on the
rear of the card will be disablerL As with
the other cards, it was fully functional on
our Windows XP box as soon as the
machine fired up, and we were able to
use the hard drive and DY cern within

card, a fioppy disk, and an instruction
sheet includerL The floppy comes with a
few drivers for older operating systems,
but if you' re using Windows 2000 or XP,
the ard should be recognized automatically. The card only comes with two
ports onboard and no bundled software,
but it is one of the only FireWire cards
we' ve seen with support for Linux right
out of the box. Those looking for a more
fully featured bundle may want to look
elsewhere, but Linux-heads and Canadaboosters should both find this card a
perfectl
y good choice:on our machine,
we had devices connected to the ard up
and running within seconds.

Adding FireWire to a notebook computer is pretty easy: just slide in a PC Card

adapter, add drivers when necessary, and
go to town. What's a bit tridoer, however,

We tested notebook FireWire cards
using a Toshiba notebook with a 700
MHz Celemn processor and 128 MB of
RAM. In addition to the internal 10 GB
hard drive, we also tested the cards using
an external Maxtor 3000DV hard drive
and a Canon DV camera.

One way to get around your notebook's DV-capturing limitations is to

If you' re planning to add FireWire to
your notebook computer so you cancapture video &om a DV camera, it's worth
remembering that the FireWire port isn't
the only consideration. Almost more
important are the other components in
the notebook, like the processor, RAM,

The Adaptec FireConnect for Notebooks
was the card with the fullest range of
capabilities on the notebook end of
things, with three ports right on the card
and no problems with data transfer we
saw ahnost no
rames with this

droppedf

card. Inserted into the notebook, it

worked just the way it should, with automatic recognition by Windows 2000,
and proper functionality with both hard
drives and DV cameras, as weg as the
FireWtrehub. The only real issue we had
with this one was the fact that ag three
portswere on the card instead of on a
dongie, which could be an issue if you
have another PC Card in your notebook,
but it's not typically a problem if you use
this card in the top slot. Overall, it's still
the nicest PC Card FireWire bundle.

new PC and motherboard. It's easy to see

why: the port is plug-and-play, allowing

you to add fairly powerful hardware to
your computer without having to open
up the case, and in many instances, without having to restart the computer. The
most common version of USB in most

computers is USB 1.1, a sli

ghtlyolder
spec that transfers data at a maximum of
12 Mbps.
USB 2.0, introduced in mid-2001 but
not quite ready for primetime until this

USB 1.1, but changes the controller chip

to bump the speed up to a blazing 480
Mbps about 40 times the speed of the
previous version.
Many of these cards will function just
fine with drivers for USB 1.1, though at
the slower USB I. I speed. When USB 2.0
pmducts were introduced, there were
serious driver issues preventing many of
the cards from being used with Windows
98SE and Me, but most of those issues
have now been ironed out, allowing
these cards to work smoothly with
Windows 98SE and higher.

USB2.0 for desktop Ks

Because of the squabbles over the USB
2.0 hardware and software standards,
there won't be any native USB 2.0 support in your operating system if you' re
using the 6rst version of Windows XP or
anything that came before it. (Though
there may be support in the next revision
of XP. we won't truly believe it until we
see it.) Because of that, to add a USB card
to your system, you'U need to use a wizard-based driver install. For Windows
2000 and XP it should be fairly quick and
easy, though earlier versions of Windows
may be trickier. AU cards in this category
will require one 6ee PCI slot.

In addition to its FireWire line, Adaptec
features a USB 2.0 product line with a
number of family members. The 3100LP
is one of the more value-oriented models in the line, but it still has four ports in
a three-and-one con6guration, which is
nice for users with VSB devices that connect internally. The card fired up 6ne
and was working almost immediately.
We hadour externalhard driveconnected and transferring data soon after that.
If you aren't planning to connect a lot of
devices, this one makes a great choice;
those who need more pons can spend a
bit more and get the six-port version
instead.

If you have a number of older USB 1.1

devices, don't fret: they' ll still work
underUSB 2.0,butattheslower speed.
This is important to note if you plan to
use any USB hubs, because any USB 2.0
devices plugged into a USB 1.1 hub will
function at only 12 Mbps, even if that
hub is plugged into a VSB 2.0 port on
the computer.
you know what they say about your
chain only being as strong as its weakest
link? Well, it's the same case here, but in
this ase your chain is only as fast as its
slowest link, for everything upstream. If
you' re stuck with a whole pile of USB 1.1
devices plugged through a full-speed
USB 2.0 hub, the one bit of good news is
that aU of your USB 1.1 devices will be
able to achieve maximum throughput.
They' ll have the full 480 Mbps to divvy
up rather than sharing 12 Mbps.

Belkin's bright blue USB 2.0 card
installed quickly and easily under
Windows XP, pulling the drivers automatically down from the CD when
needed. We soon had it transferring data
to and from the PC's internal hard drive
at a fair clip. The four-and-one configuration is nice for those with a USB
device that needs to be connected internally or who want to jury-rig their own
(a USB camera hidden inside the case,
perhaps, if you have a clear side panel?).
(Note: Belkin also offers a four-port USB
drive bay hub, model number FSU26l,
at US$50, which hunt mounts into your
PC using a standard floppy-sized bay,
and uses an internal USB connector.)
One nice touch: there are lights along
the back of the card that indicate when
the ports are in operation

At only US$59, Keyspan's four-and-one

USB 2.0 congguration is one of the better values we' ve seen, and as with the
others, the one internal port will be convenient for anyone who wants to hook
up any USB peripheral on the inside of
the box, like an internal hub. The card
installed smoothly and we had data
going back and forth between the internal drive and the external Maxtor drive
almost immediately. Even if there's no
wild paint job to make this one stand
out, it's a very functional card at a good
price point, and degnitely well worth
consideration.

The Lava card is one of the most basic

packages we' ve seen: two ports on the
back of the card, and a minimal set of
drivers included on the floppy. Our
Windows XP box got the card up and
running in no time, but you may need to
download a driver to get this one going
on your machine. (Lava currently supports only Windows 2000 and XP for the
USB 2.0card,according to the company

Web site.) If you' re running Windows

2000 or XP and you' re looking for a very
basic solution, this one seems to work
just Bneand it's a Canadian, too.

USB2.0 for notebook PCE

Driver installation of notebook USB 2.0
cards will require the same software
setup as with the PCI versions, including
a wizard-based instalL The hardware is
another story altogether: just slide it into
the slot.
We tested these cards using the same
Toshiba notebook used for the FireWhe
cards, coupled up with a hdaxtor 3000LK
external hard drive and a Logiteh
QuickCam Pro VSB imaging device to
capture live video.

Maxtor one FireWire, and one USB 2.0.

ly qualifies asthe most loaded card in this

whole roundup, and the good news is
that every one of the ports should be
usable. The two-and-one and three-andone configuratio means thatoneofeach
type of port is available internally. while
keeping a Fair number of ports on the
backof your PC and availableforregular
use. When we installed this one, it
required one restart for full functionality,
but then we were up and running and
transferring data quickly between our
two external drives. If space is at a pmmium, this bright blue card certainly packs
a wallop in terms of value.

pons.

expectedthe Maxtor drive was automatically recognized by the Windows

2000 notebook, and we were reading and
writing to the drive in seconds. The card
was able to read/write to the external
drive at the same time it was capturing
motion video from th e Logitech
QuickCam, and everything worked quite
smoothly. Though it comes with ajack
for plugging in external power, the card
doesn't ship with the adapter; unless
you' re trying to power a whole pile of
USB devices that draw power &om the
bus itself, this shouldn't be an issue.

Flvoyear warranty.
Keyspan's notebook USB 2.0 card is more
expensive than the Adaptec version, but it
comes with the external power connector
in the box if you' re planning to connect
a number of unpowered USB peripherals, this addition to the bundle will be
essential. Fmm an installation and performance perspective, the card is topnotch: the wizard-based driver install was
quick and painless, and both the hard
driveand camera worked perfectly,even
at the same time.

Sometimes you want to add both new

technologies, but you either can't spare
the extra space inside the PC, or the
money it' ll cost to buy two separate
cards.Now, a number of companies are
coming out with combocards that combine both interfaces onto a single PCI
add-in card, but also shave a few dollars

As with tbe Adaptec combocard, the
Belkin combo required a reboot before
we had full functionality, but as soon as
we did that, we were able to transfer data
between our two external hard drives at
quite a dip. Though the Belkin card has
fewer ports overall, it also comes in at a
slightly more attractive price point, and
sports a lifetime warranty. If you just
need a few of each type of port, the
Belkin solution is a great choice.

Orange Micro was one of the first out of
the gate with USB 2.0 cards. The company has developed a pretty thorough line
of cards in both the USB 2.0 and
FireWire space, and this is Orange
Micro's new combocard. Because we
weren't able to get our hands on this
card until just before deadline, we
weren't able to put it through the full
batch of tests however, it installed on
our Windows XP system just fine, and
items we connected through the ard
functioned as anticipated. (For more

For those with very little capital, you can

You can begin with the free Weh space

has proven that giving away a service for

free is a difficult business modeL
One company that seems to be making that formula work, however, is
Bizhosting (www.nizhmtingcnm).
Company representative )im L ee
explains, "We don't really make any
money on the hosting that we give away
for free. We try to offset the cost of hosting these I'ree sites by requiring advertising banners on the sites' pages, but that
doesn't really cover much of our cost of
providing the service. For the most part,
we treat the cost of running the free
serviceasa m arketing expense."
Bizhosting clients get 20 MB of free
Web space and can use a subdomain
(that includes "bizhosting" in its name)
or their own domain (.corn, .net, or
.org), which they have to register and, of
course, pay for.
If a client's free site approaches or
exceeds the bandwidth limit, they can
upgrade to one of the monthly pay services without any interruption, says Lee.
"A small business can set up shop on
our free service, and never have to worry
about moving it again. Our clustered
server technology allows any site on our
system to scale from just a few hits a day,

like pictures of family, pets, or a new

bike, not for commercial purposes.
Most ISPs will shut you down if the
traffic to your site exceeds a set limit.
Even if ISP admlnlstrat)ve gnomes are
too busy to stop you from using the site
for business purposes. excessive traffic to
your site could prevent many of those
who want to visit from being able to do
so. Do you really want a potential customer to see the dreaded "page not
found" error message?
If you haven't registered a domain
name, and don't want or can't afford to
pay the $39 plus GST to do so, some free
hosting sites will give you a URL (uniform resource locator) for your site that
looks something like www.youibusiness.free.
husisemice.curn.
However, not only can this type of
URL be difficult t o r emember, it' s
instantly recognizable as a free site and
may not inspire the confidence of potential customers.
If you decide to go with a free Web
host service, you need to consider its
long-term viabiTity. The pattern of dotcom failures in the last couple of years

to tens or hundreds of thousands without any difference in the speed at which

it is served."
Upgrade packages can include more
bandwidth, Web space, email accounts,
real-time credit'card processing support,
and priority phone support.
"We don't force people to upgrade,"
says Lee, "we simply let them try it out,
and then hope they will like our service
enough that they will want to upgrade.
In a way, it is a little bit like the shareware
model."
A similar service i s o ffered by
Kyrgyzstan-based United Net (www.united.netkg). It too hopes users upgrade to
servicesafter using the free offerings.
U.S.-based Brinkster (www.biinkstei.com)
does offer one basic free hosting package, but its features are severely limited.

Professional hosting
Although it is a major consideration,
price isn't everything. Flip through The
Coinpuier Paperand you' ll see dozens of
hosting services offering a wide range of
Web hosting packages. To help you
choose, check Web hosting company
sites for explanations.
For example, Domain W izardry

mrna%

(www.OniminWizardiy.cum) provides loadbalanced data centres, instead of one or

two servers, and dual operating systems
standard, which it claims no other company offers. NextWebHosting (www.nextwebhosting.corn), a division of Elosoft
(wwwelosult.cum). offers 15 months of
service for the price of 12.
Of course Web designers have their

own idea of which company provides

the best hosting. UsuaBy this is determined bythe experience a design company has had with a particu)ar host. But
sometimes it's decided by the terms of
the deal struck with the host in which
the design company becomes a hosting
reseller. Ask those you.know, and avail
yourself of the "contact" button on hosting company Web sites. The timeliness,
tone, and degree of professionalism in
the replies you receive can help you
decide on a hosting firm.

Oo.it-yourself design
How do you design a Web site? You can
use many of the fiee or inexpensive Web
site design packages. Learning them is
just like learning to use another software
application.

and other popular sites that you might

Or you can learn HTML. It's even easier, and you can impress your friends
with your knowledge. By conducting a
search on "HTML tutorial" we found
HTML Goodies (www.hlmlgoodies.cam)and
Make a Web Site (makeawe
bsitezom). From
those two sites and others we learned
enough HTML to create a simple site on
our own. For a comprehensive list of
HTML tutorials see putertutor.net
(www.putettutot.net).
If you want fancy graphics, lots of eyecatching movement, and plenty of distractions on your page, doing it in plain
HTML will take a lot of time. An easier
way to that end is learning Macromedia
Flash (waw.matromedia.com). A free trial
version of the software can be downloaed from the company's site.
You should also learn something
about Web site design and use. Start by
v isiting J akob Ne ilson's s i t e
(waw.Useit.com). Neilson is the absolute
authority on Web site design and usability. Another good design tutorial site is
aksi.net (wwwaksi.nel).
Designer Vincent Flanders has written

Professionaldesign
However, sometimes it's cheaper and
almost always fasterin the long run to
hire a professional.
"Web developers are a dime a dozen"
says Jeremy Slaven of DSI Design
(www.dson
edesign.com). "While anyone can
use a Web builder to cut and paste elements into their Web site, the visual
impact, interface cleanliness, and use of
colour for a professional corporate Web
presence isbest left to professional, innovative, and talented design teams in conjunction with your development team."
So how do you choose a Web designer? The temptation to jump on the
Internet bandwagon, overspend, and listen to a supposed Web guru can be

strong, especially for business people

who aren't Web savvy. Start by asking
yourself what you want from a Web site.
D ino Esposito o f Me dia D o g
Productions (wwwmediadog.net) advises,
"Before rushing out and going for what
you or others think is cool, ask yourself:
'What do I specificafiy need?' and 'In
what order do I need to get it?' Any
potential Web designer will most likely
ask you these questions as wdl, and if
you have the answers ready it will make
your initial contact that much easier."
Slaven says, "Be prepared before you
call anyone. Have a solid plan and wish
list for your coporate Web presence
before you do anything."
Next, ask everybody you know who has
a Web site how they made their design
choices. how much the design work cost,
and how much time was required to
complete it. Check the site, its ease of use,
and note your ftkes and dislikes. Then
check the site of the design company
behind it to leam about its design philosophy and what areas it specializes in. A
successful Web design firm should also
have links to dients' pages. You can ask
those clients directly about their experi-

the designcompany. "Areyou assigneda

personal point of contact? You don' t
want to end up as the small company

dealing with a large Web development

team or you may always have difiiculty
trying to get things done on time and on
budget." says Esposito, "Make sure that
your Web team doesn't treat you like a
number, and that you have access to all

work in progress."
Slaven agrees: "When you call the
design/development firm, ask for the
creative director or lead project manager.Titlesvary from company to compa-

ny, but makesureyouspeak to a person

in a senior, decision-making position.
That way you' ll have direct access to the
person with final say on your price. The
senior exec may not directly handleyour
project, but putting yourself in contact
with them givesyou more leverage when
negotiating your position as a buyer."
Ask about each fi
rm's experience

At the very least, your Web site is a
worldwide advertisement that works for
you 24 hours a day,seven days aweek. so
it will require maintenance. As Roger

"Chicken" Butcher (www.rose/hutch

says: "The condition of your sign is a

OutrageousCreations! also puts a complete mailing list system at its dients' disposal. one without ag the junk added by
commercial mailing lists such as Yahoo!
and CGroups. If a featured product is to be
sent, the system automatically generates
an HTML email with product thumbnails
and links to product pages.
Redpath explains "The whole system is
completely customizable too. It can be

hooked up to any shopping cart system

induding Cart32, DXcart, Cafepress,my
own cart system, etc. All elements are

modular, so if you don't like the layout of

Por companies without the need for
constant product updating, perhaps an
automatic updater is the way to go. Says

Media Dog's Esposito: "There are many

options for keeping your site fresh and

An integrated multifunction security
appliance also helps combat so-called
"blended threats," such as the recent
Nimda virus, which attacked both
clients and servers and propagated in
more than one way.

This feature alone greatly simplifies
managing the security of a network of

companies. But askanybody who'sever

tried to install and maintain four or five

about the difficulties. Having everything

gated by default, meaning that if the

information packet matches an intrusion detection signature, the packet is
droppecL lf set by an administrator, further packets from the offending IP
address will be blocked, and the appliance can automatically notify the
administrator by email 2nd/or pager.
Even a relatively simple unit like this
one requires some experience to set up.
It's possible to have settings that report
every little deviation in network packet
information. But if the net is cast too
widely, an intrusion-detection system
will generate encyclopedia-length incident report logs that require virtually
unlimited human resources to sift valid
intrusion attempts &om false alarms.
The SGS unit is delivered with 80 signatures, and updated to approximately
110. Some intrusion-detection systems
instaB more than 300. Symantec tries to
install only those it feels are most likely
to be real intrusion attempts.

Firewall
Plenty of firewatis control incoming
tralfic, but many ignore outgoing trallic,

which leaves a server open for exploitation if a hacker gets past the "incoming
only" defenses. The SGS solution,
Symantec Enterprise Firewall 7, controls
both outgoing and incoming traffic at
multiple levels. Protection has been
advanced to the application level,
including but not limited to inspection
of HTTP, FTP. SMTP, RealAudio, Ping,
DNS, and Telnet trafiic. If a packet doesn't conform to set rules, it isn't allowed
through. The default setting is to block
traffic unleaC otherwise ruled by the
administrator. Incidents are recorded in
a log for analysis.
AnhVUUE
Possibly the best-known Symantec pmduct is AWUVirus. This part of the SGS
appliance inspects SMTP, HTTP, and
FTP files for known virus signatures.
Mail can be blocked or blocked and
scanned if it is sent fmm designated
addresses or contains certain strings of
characters, or any extension by name.
Attachments can be removed or rejected
if they exceed a set limit. Unknown virus
signatures are scanned using heurisuc
(Iules dmwn from experience) detection.

We weren't expecting to see any new

With the new PowerMacs, we feel Apple
has anally got it right when it comes to
differentiating its pm line fmm its consumer line. With the advent of the G4
iMacs and eMacs,and the debut of the
17-inch iMac in July, it seemed there was
little difference between a G4 tower and a
much cheaper consumer Mac. Now that

Apple has adopted a dual-processor

strategy acmss the entire G4 tower lineup, it makes for some smoking fast pro

Conference (WinHEC), which

was held in Seattle, Wash., earlier in the

year, Intel showed off a p r ototype
Pentium 4 processor that it cranked up to
3 GHz using an ultra-complex re&igeration system. In the few months since that
demo, Intel is that much closer to releasing a standard 3 GHz pmcessor that uses
a standard heat sink for cooling.
Recently, Intel transitioned some of its
Pentium 4 line over to 533 MHz frontside system bus, up f'rom the processor's
initial 400 MHz. Now. the company has
introduced a Pentium 4 processor that
runsat2.0 GHz and one at2.66 GHzboth use this faster system bus. It also
introduced two new pmcessors designed

for the older 400 MHz bus: one is rated
at2.5 GHZ, and theotherat2.6 GHz.
We got ow hands on the 2.8 GHz version of the Pentium 4 and put it through
some benchmarking tests on our reference system. The PC used an Intel
D850MV motherboard, and featured
5)2 MB of PC1066 RDRAM for highest
performance. The system used a 30 GB
ATat)/)00 hard drive from IBM and the
g raphics component was a n M S I

No real surprises here in the benchmarking numbers: the 2.8 GHz model is
faster in all of the categories, with the
Internet content creation benefiting
more from the extra juice.

for lower electromagnetic interference.

As before, these pmcessors are designed
to be teamed up with DDR SDRAM for
high performance while maintaining a
very good overall value.
We haven't been able to get our hands on
these new pmcessors yet. but if the performance curve of the pmvious models is
any indication, expect the new Athlon XP
models to pmvide more bang for your buck
than the intd, even if overall system performance still trails the raw numbers nev
Pentium 4 pmcessois are kicking out. CI

Though there's been a lot of talk of the

new Hammer line of processors, AMD is
to get its Thoroughbred line
to run a bit further with the introduction of two new Athlon XP processors.
The Athlon Xp 2400+ and 2600+
should be on the market by the time you
read this, with a slightly reengineered
core in both. First up, there's an additional layer of metal inside "to reduce
resi
stance and capacitance." There are
also newly engineered capacitors inside

hack The speaker has moved to the top

of the unit, and the CD drives are now
covered by a metal panel, but in most
respects these new machines still resem-

ble the QuickSilver casedesign.

Thereremain threestandard con6gurations: a dual-867 MHz G4. dual-1
GHz G4, and dual-1.25 GHz G4 models.
All PowerMacs now feature four RAM
slots for a maximum of 2 GB of RAM,
four hard drive bays for almost half a
terabyte of storage (480 GB using four
120 GB drives). and space for two optical drives in the kant of the case. This
space means there is now room for a
SuperDrive and a CD-RW drive a
much requested feature since the debut
of this case design.
The benefit of dual optical drives is
that you can copy the CD in one drive
using the burner in the other, which
saves you from having to image the CD
to your hard drive first. It would also
allow you to listen to music while burning a data CD in the background.
The standard video cards maintain the
dual-display capabiTity, but have been
signi6cantly upgradeaL The base model
of the PowerMac G4 line now ships with
a GeForce 4MX, which was previously
standard only in the top-of-the-line
model. However, this new GeForce 4MX
indudes only 32 MB of video RAM,
somewhat crippling any performance
benefits it had over the old 32 MB
Radeon 7500. The other two PowerMacs
include ATI's very impressive Radeon
9000 Pro. These new video cards include
a more substantial 64 MB of video RAM.
The 128 MB GeForce 4Ti is still available
as a build-to-order option.
The G4 towers stgl have four PCI slots
and one AGP slot for expansion, but
now sport a new system bus similar to
Apple's Xserve rack-mount server. Bus
speeds run at 133 MHz on the low-end
model and 167 MHz on the other two
models, with support for DDR 2100 and
DDR 2700 RAM, a 6rst for the Mac.
Between the dual processors and the
DDR RAM bus, the new pro line will
perform atmore than double the speed

of the consumer line, which finally justi-

fies the price gap. The prices for the new

towers in Canada are: $2,699 for the
dual-867 MHz G4 with 256 MB RAM,
60 GB hard drive, I MB Level-3 cache,
and a Geporce 4 MX 32 MB card; $3,899
for the dual-1 GHz G4 with 256 MB

card; and $5,199 for a dual-125 GHz G4
with 512 MB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, 2
MB Level-3 cache, and an ATI Radeon
9000 Pm 64MB card.
As you may have noticed, the prices
have increased by several hundred dollars
on each model, but this is due in part to
the Odling Canadian dollar. The DVD
burning SuperDrive remains standard on
the top two models, while the base model
includes a CD-RW/DVD combo that can
play but not burn DVD media.

The Apple display lineup 15-inch,

17-inch, 22-inch, and 23-inch LCDshas not changed at this time. We still
await the release of a 17-inch widescreen
LCD for the PowerMac line. In the
meantime, you can get $300 or $750

cash back by mail if you purchase a

PowerMac and an Apple display together (depends on configuration).
The distinction between consumer

and pro becomes clear when comparing

the G4 iMacs to the new PowerMacs.
The top 15-inch iMsc costs $2,799 and
includes an 800 MHz G4, no Level-2

$2,699, plus $929 for a 15-inch LCD, you

which have since come back down.) The

$300 Apple rebate, the PowerMac comes

support, and more expendability.
The low and raid-range G4 con6gurations will be available in stores possibly
by the time you read this. The dual-1.25

and OS9.2.2 on thehard drive,although
they will boot into OS 10.2 by default.

SuperDrive and an 800 MHz G4 CPU for

$&99. This is where things can get a little
confusing a $2,799 iMac used to be the
cheapest Apple computer that induded
DVD burning, but the fmture can now be
found on a SX299 eMac even though itis
not yet available on the lesser iMacs.
It seems to be Apple's goal to bring
DVD burning to the mainstream the
way it brought video editing to the masses with iMovie. Still, it seems odd that
the lowly eMac gets DVD burning before
the much more expensive and powerful

G4 Powergook. This seems asolid indicator that the PowerBook G4 will be the
next machine to include DVD burn-

ing as soon as Apple can find a slim

enough SuperDrive.

New eggacwith Supertyriye aaueuuced

At the same time it released the new
PowerMacs, Apple made some slight
changes to its iMacs and eMacs. The
iMacs changed in price only, but the
eMac gained a new configuration and is
now available in two models, which may
serveto further confuse the Mac buyer.
Apple has dropped the cost of its iMacs
back to the prices it set in January. when

The $1,699 eMac now comes slandard

with a C D-RW/DVD combo drive,
instead of a CD-RW. This is a great change
for those wanting o home computer with
DVD playback However, there is now an
even better eMac with a s tandard

The eMac models currently available

in the retail channel are: $1,699 for a 700
MHz G4 with 128 MB RAM,40 GB hard
drive, and CD-RW/DVD combo drive;
and $2,299 foran 800 MHz G4 with 256
MB RAM, a 60 GB hard drive, and CDRW/DVD-R SuperDrive.
All iMacs and eMacs include OS X
10.2and OS 9.2.2,aswellasthestandard
bundle of Apple software. Both new
eMac models are expected to be avail-

able by press time. CI

Less need for keyboards on Pocket PCs

andheldcomputer users have long
wrestled with an intriguing set of

trade-offs: size versusweight; form

versus function; battery power versus

computingpower; and keyboard entry versusvoice orpen data input.
On the latter issue, there have been
many different attempts to create handheldcomputersthateffectively bridge the
gap between size and capability.
Pocket PC devices have been designed
to provide maximum computing power
without a keyboard by offering users a
variety of ways to enter information
including an on-screen keyboard and
handwriting-recognition applications.

As aveteran handheid computer user

and a recent convertto the Compaq iPaq,
I have found this machine isequipped to
do agreat deal of everyday note taking,

Gelling readyfor USB2.0, IIML, LSM

Cantiauerftmmftogef/0
Bs")that have smaller connectors. In
order to convince your computer to play
nice with USB 2.0, you' ll either need to
geta USB 2.0 PCI card,ora new motherboard with USB 2.0 built-in.
For more details about the wonders of
USB 2.0,and how to make use of it in
Linux, point your Web browser to
www.gnux-usb,org/usbzhtml.

Kernel 2.0 peaksover the horizon

While you won't see Linux kernel 2.6
tomorrow, it's coming soon enough. A
freeze on adding new features to the current experimental kemeL 2.5.x,is due to
go intoeffect on Oct. 31. Some of the
new features are aimed at the enterprise
Linux market, as most users and even

emailmanagement, address book maintenance, and spreadsheet updating work.

But, when I really need to get a lot of
information into an iPaq quickly and accurately doing things such as writing this
story Ihave found thatit'spretty slow if
I have to use the on-screen keyboard or
the Transcriber handwriting-recognition
software,as good as it is.
Enterthe Targus Stowaway keyboard for
the iPaq. We've written about the
Stowaway before it's also available for
HewlettPackard's 3ornada and various
Palm handhelds.
It'
s one of those convenient, fold-out
keyboardsthat attaches to the iPaq and
givesme the chance to type as quickly as
Icould on a desktop ornotebook computer keyboard.
When folded up, it is almost the same

size as the iPaq.

Wali, almost. Because the interface at

companies probably aren't desperate

enough yet to use disks largerthan 2 TB
(yes, that's terabytes!).
Two of the "big" additions will be UserMode Linux (UML) and the Linux Security

Module (LSM). The fogieswho'll love UML

(user-mode-linux.sourceiorge.net/ and usermodeknux.org/) are beta testers. folks too curiousabout the operating system'sinternals
for their own good, and anyone who
might want to set up a virtual Linux
machineso they can play to theirheart's
content without later finding that their
main Linux box no longer functions properly.
Other people who' ll love UML are those
who worry about their network servers
being broken into and altered. With UML,
virtuai hosts can be kept in their own little sandboxes, barred from doing anything

portable digital radios could

much of the rest of the world.
This new form of broadcastwhich is
supposed to replace AM and FM, eventually is already in use. Radio stations
in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, and
Windsor have been broadcasting in DAB
for years.
DAB receivers will not work in the
United States, however. DAB broadcasts
in the Eureka 147 format use the L-

band (300 to 1,500 MHz), which in the

U.S. is reserved for military use. Instead.

However, the ongoing revolution in

technology will not bring with it an
accompanying change in content. DAB
receivers pick up the same advertisements, the same limited music playlists
and thesame homogeneity of talk and
opinion as analogue receivers. Even
though Eureka 147 allows for multiplex
broadcasting of multiple channels in the
same frequency. the Canadian Radio-television a n d Te lecommunications
Commission (CRTC, at wwwotcgcca) is
still applying regulations for analogue
broadcast.
"Right now, the rollout of DAB is taking place under an existing policy from
the CRTC, called the Transitional Digital
Radio policy," says Richard Cavanagh,

one of many 6lters to reduce fraud.
I was also required to give my audit
card number. I thought long and hard,
as I' ve always resisted putting my credit
card info online. However, in for a

penny, in fora pound: so I did it and was

accepted as a seller. I spent an hour reading all the seller-related info, and investigating the seUers' and buyers' tools.
EBay offers multiple ways to handle
transaction payments. The most secure
and convenient for both buyers and sellers seemed to be to use one of the

Internet payment systems. I registered for

both eBay's own BillPoint/eBay Payment

system, and PayPal (www.psyps(com), a

third-party Internet payments system.
Once again, I had to give additional personal, credit card, and banking info.
Before signing onto the payment systems, set up a special savings account
with my bank for eBay business. I gave

Once on Usenet, I typed the keyword

"model" into the newsgroup search box,

I received over 600 requests for the

cataloguein acouple ofdays.
I converted the Excel 6)e into a 200 KB
PDF 6le, so that even folks without Excel
could read it, and emailed it out to the
respondentsto my message. Large volumes of mail started coming in, kom
people wanting to negotiate prices for
one or two kits fmm the collection.
It seemed dear there was an eager
market for the collection, if sold a piece
at a time. It also seemed dear that if I
tried to haggle individual prices with
l,700 strangers, I'd go nuts.
So, I quickly concluded that eBay was
the only way to go, for several reasons:
Its auction model puts each item up
for view by all eBay visitors, and generagy gives the seller the best possible
price without having to haggle individually with buyers.
It allows both buyers and sellers to
remain anonymous until a deal is
made.
It has many mechanisms to reduce the
possibility of fraud, acting literally as
an honest broker.
It has an elaborate system of buyer
and seller feedback, so you can see the
level of satisfaction other eBay users
have had dealing with any individual
seller.

With a digital camera, I took the 6rst of

what would eventually be thousands of
pictures o( model kits. Using Adobe
image editing software, I resized and
cropped the picture to 6t the size acceptable to eBay's picture service.
Going to the eBay site, I logged in as a
adler, and dicked on the "Sell" button.
On the auction item listing page, I past-

last-minute bids.
Finally, the auction ended, with the
winning bid sitting at nearly twice what I
had set as the opening price. An end-ofauction notice appeared in my email box,
with a link back to eBay to let me send an
invoice to the still anonymous buyer.
Almost immediately the successful
buyer emailed me back, identifying himself
, and asking for a 6nal price that
included shipment of the Secret Base to
France. I went to the Canada Post Web
site(wwwcanadspostca/segment-e.ssp). got
mformauon on Internauonal shlppmg,

ed in myad copy,starting price, shipping

costs.preferred methods of payment,
and the picture of the Secret Base.
I posted my first item for sale: cost in
eBay fees for the listing, US50.30. I

viewed it online. eBay item 1734012247.

I thought it looked very professional.
I waited.
Almost immediately, the little view
counter on my eBay item for sale started
dicking over, indicating that people were
checking out my ad. Dozens of people!
Then, after a couple of days, a bid was
entered. Someone had made a legally
binding ofier to buy the Secret Base.
Then,adaybeforethe one-week auction
period was over, there was a little flurry
of bidding, as lurkers who had book-

and sent him a Anal quote.

On receipt of payment by mail, I
shipped the item to France. When it
arrived, my first buyer sent positive feed-

I felt a warm glow. Somebody in

I Aew into action. taking digital pictures of 143 more kits: ships, planes,
accessories. pilot dolls. I cropped. I
resizmL I furiously researched the histories of the famous 6ghting ships and
planes I was selling. trying to make the
ad copy as funny and interesting and
mouth watering as I could. I set up a
template for posting the ads as efilriently as possible. Up went the 143 items.
Click, click, dick went the counters,
showing thousands of eBayers checking
out my wares... item after item showed
first bids, then second, higher bids... I
was in the money!

Mozilla extensions to CSS: Part II

ly Neith Sthengili-Rohelts
n the previous article in this series,,
we looked at some Cascading Style
sheet (CSS) extensions introduced
under the most recent versions of the
Mozilla browser, whose "core" called

Geckois shared by Netscape Navigator

6.0 and the forthcoming version 7.0. The
interesting thing about these extensions
is that many of them are a "heads up" as
to what you can expect to see in the
forthcoming CSS3 speci6cation, so these
Mozilla extensions make for a great
excuse to go taking a look at some interesting interface-related properties you
can expect to utilize hopefully in all
browsers in the future.
If you plan to try these out. keep in
mind there is no guarantee they' ll work
But they are there, and pmvide a glimpse
of future CSS3 properties.

Pitying wfih uler-input

One of the properties to be introduced

in the CSS3 speci6cation is mi-input,

which is designed to allow a Web author
to specify whether a given user interface
element (like a button, or a form field)
can accept input from the user. The
principal reasonfor having such a property is to selectively enable or disable
inputs interactively.

For example,say you have a form

where you are seeking the user's
address if the user lives in a city, you
might want to disable a rural mute setting. If the user lives in a house, you
might want to disable a post ofiice box
6eld or an apartment box Beld selectively the user-input property will enable
you to do these things.
The user-input property can take one of
four values: none, enabled, disabled, and
inhe/iL The nonevalue ensures that an element is not available for user input, and
the inherit value sets whatever inheritable
value may be present. The enabled value
allows for user input on an element, and
disabled does the opposite.

Com p u ter Wholesale 4 Accessories

The following code snippet shows

how this could be put to us
<style>
input.enable (user-input enable)
inputdisable (uierqnput dissue)

systyle>
The idea would be to add programming code that could selectively enable
and disable individual input elements on

the page using these lines of CSS3code.

This is how t hings should work
according to the latest draft of the CSS3
specification. If you wanted to give this
code a try in Mozilla, all you have to do
is tack on "suez/0 to user-input to be able to
give it a try.

IRetrtfying theuser?Not quile

Mozilla also includes another CSS3 preview property in the form of ~ z -mrmodify, which is designed to allow Web
authors to set which fields in a form can
and cannot be modified by the user. At
first this may seem like an odd concept,
but it allows for fields that can be pre-

filled" programmatically and can be seen

by the user but not changed. This dilfers
fiom a setting like user-input disabled in
that the user can select a form element
and copy its contents if necessary.
Thisproperty takesoneoffourvalues:
readonly, readwdte, wrileoniy and the ubiquitous inherit. The leadenly value allows
the user to see but not change anything,
readwrite (which would be the default)
gives the user full control over adding or
changing input. The wltecaly value is an
incongruous setting, which only allows
the user to select and edit the contents,
but not see what they are or copy them
out. So this ought to behave in much the
same way as current password 6elds do
(each character typed in is displayed as
an asterisk or an equivalent character).
though one has to wonder how a person
could effectively "edit" such a held, save
by removing its contents and re-writing
them.
The following code snippet shows
how this property could be put to use:

Another CSS3 property in-the-making

is user-select.It is designed to allow Web
authors to determine which elements on
an Webpage are"selectable.
" Forexample, using this property, it would theoreticagy be possible to enable the text on
buttons to be selected and copied (by
default, most browsers do not allow
this). The purpose of this property is to
allow the Web author to explicitly set
these types of conditions to elements on
This property can take one of seven
values: none.text, toggle, element, elements. Ill,
and inheljt The nonevalue ensures that an
, element is not selectable, text speciffes
, that only the text contained by an element is selectable, and toggle aUows the
content to be switched "on" or ooff." The
element value only allows one element at
a time to be selected, whereas elements
. allows for multiple element selection
I (i.e. by holding down the Control key
. 'while selecting individual elements).
The inheilt value takes on any existing
:parent value that m ay have been previously set.

Wlen yenneedis fecns

CSS3 is currently set to deliver a set of
user-fetus properties, which are intended
to give the Web author greater control
over whatcan happen to an element
when it is has been given focus by the
user. The user-focus
-keyproperty is there to

their mouse, and userqecus

-pointer determines what happens to a given element
when a user"tabs" over to it The userfocusproperty acts as a shortcut property,
incorporating all of the fimctions of user-

focusheyand user-focus-pointer.
They all share the following eight
properties: auto, normal, select.all, selectbelote,salsa@ter,select-same,selectvnenu,and
inherit. The auto value is whatever the
default value is for a given element, and

inherit takes on whatever parent value

may be present. The narnul value means
that when an element acquires focus, it
does nothing else. When selea-Bll is used,
the whole of an element's contents are
seleaed (this could be text within a text
field. for example).
When an element is selected that uses
select-before, the cursor appears at the
beginning of the contents of that element, and when an element uses selectaft
er,thecursor appears attheend ofthe
content of that element (again, think in

terms of a text field to get an idea as to

why these values would be used). When
selert-seine is used, whatever element last
had focus is given focus again. The fii(lowing code snippet shows how these
might be put to use:

input.focus.text (user-focus selea-before)

input(acus-num

dies" in addition to the one that comes

Virtual PC takes a unique approach to
OS emulation. Rather than trying to
mimic a PC-based OS, Virtual PC instead
emulates OII the components of an Intelbased PC hardware architecture in software. Not only does this allow you to run
genuineversions of foreign OSes on any
G3- or G4-based Apple hardware, it also
opens up the opportunity to run their
native applications concurrently with
those that run natively on Mac OS 9 or X.
This begs the question as to why anyone would need to run these foreign
applications on a Mac? After all, there are
tens of thousands of native Mac applications for OS 9 and thousands more
native to the more recent, adept, and
modern OS X. There are also several
Mac-native versions of Linux, such as
Linux PPC, Debian, Yellow Dog, and
SuSE. Furthermore. most mainstream

applications (particularly t hose on

Windows), usually have equivalent or
superior alternatives on the Mac.
The answer lies in the ability to run specialty or custom applications. particularly
those that exist in corporate environments
where the Windows platform dominates.
Also, consider that there are tens of
thousands of custom and commercial
DOS-based applications that are still
used today by many firms. For example,
a company I do contract work for uses a
DOS menu-driven, order-invoice-inventory system called Business Vision.
Virtual PC allows me to use my computing platform of choice and save the company the expense of having to purchase
additional computers.
Version 5.0 of Virtual PC brings with it
a raft of improvements and innovations.
First and foremost is fidl OS X-native
compatibility. Add to this the ability to
set up and run as many virtual machines
as you desire (or as many as your RAM
and hard drive space allow). It is possible

to set up and launch separate windows

running Windows 98, XP, Linux, and
OS/2 concurrently with OS X (and OS 9
in the dassic compatibiTity environment). It's a demonstration that will
make the eyes of any tiber-geek pop out
of their sockets.
In earlier versions of Virtual PC, you had
to decide in advance how much bard disk
space you wanted to assign to a virtual
machine. If you ran out of space you'd have
to use abundled utiTityto expand it further.

This is no longer requirmf asall disk images

dynamicallyexpand asneeded.
Virtual PC is also now capable of sharing the same IP address between any of
your virtual machine setups and the
Mac. This means that Web browsing and
filesharing can happen concurrently in
both the Mac and alternate OS environment. However, one major drawback
with Virtual PC is that you can only
browse Windows volumes and directories from the virtual machine the virtual machine's file system is not accessi-

ble fmm Windows hardware.

What about the performance issues of
emulating PC hardware on a Mac-based
system? Opinions widely vary depending
on what hardware is being used and
which foreign applications are being run.
Obviously, newer and faster hardware
will make Virtual PC more responsive, as
will older versions as opposed to newer
versions of non-native OSes.
Also, forget about running 3D games
that are unavailable for the Mac. Connectix
just isn't able to justil'y devoting pmgramming resources to emulating the numerous
3D cards that would make a better gaming
experi
ence.You'd be better olfbuying an
inexpensive PC to play PC-native titles.
One area in which Connectix has
made huge improvements is in the bootup process. As you quit Virtual PC. you
are asked if you would like to "save the
state" of the virtual machine to your
hard disk You can even do this before
quitting any active applications. The next

Ithink youltagee that one ofthe greatestadvantages isbeing ableto undo changes to

Obviously, there are many other factors that can a/rect performance. Au I
can vouch for with certainty is that
Business Vision and Quick Basic run
with more than acceptable responsiveness on hardware as minimal as a 500

skills directly applicable to technical
sales and marketing."
Recently, Desbarats talked with TCP
about working in technical sales and
marketing. Following is an edited ver-

is all-important to the
successful use of technology in a
small business. The lesssomeone
knows about the tools at their disposal,
the lessthey' ll be able to do with them. It
seems pretty obvious. The real issue
around training is not whether your
employees will benegt from training,
but what kind of training is appropriate.

probably even more importantly, I have
to be able to understand the technologies that our customers are using so that
I can explain how they can... integrate
our technologies into what they are
using right now.

I' I I '

W hat does
yourjob involve,what do you
do?
I'm responsible for business development currently in Western Europe,
which is one of our primary markets
right now. just due to the nature of the
technology we have. I'm involved with
building relationships with carriers and
wireless operators, and handset manufacturers.

I I

Tell me about a typical workdayfor you.

There's probably two main categories:
on the road and not on the road. When
I'm in the oiIIce, typically I spend a lot of
time figuring organizations out, to try
and see who the right people are to
speak with in target organizations. So,
researching companies, their products,
and how we could potentially fit in with
them, and determining how important
it is for them to be a customer, from a
strategic and also a profitability perspective.
On the road, of course, a typical day is
back-to-back meetings. Just like most
companies, we want to make the most of
our travel dollars, so it tends to be two or
three meetings a day in rfifferent cities.

r o order, call 905 . 6 24 , 8 5 66

For more Inlnnnation, visit www.lca.net

Who would you be meeting with?

Typically product management personnel, product architects, people who

are basically responsible for designing
the next generation of wireless handsets
and network services. Sometimes in
mid-size organizations that might be a
CTO }chief technology officer} or sort of
a thought leader, a senior technology
planner, or thinker inside the organization.

technology can work with theirs?

Exactly. I'm also involved in building
presentations that are specifically geared
towards particular types of customers or
partners. I'm responsible (or delivering
those presentations. of course, making
sure that I'm in a position to answer any
questions that they may have, and usually those questions get very technical very
fast.
So I have to have a very good handle

you perceive as an internal person as the

most powerful features of your product.
And what do youlike leasr about it?
The travel can get a little bit tedious.
I'm probably out ofthe offi
ce an average
of anywhere fmm five to 10 days a
montlz
Do you go back ro the same cities every
month or so, or are you going rodifferent
places all the time?
Currently, it's a pretty wide variety of
locations, mostly in Europe, sometimes
in the States. Typically in one trip I' ll
have meetings in three or four or five
different countries, so France. Spain.
Germany, U.K., (and} Holland.
The meetings themselves originally I
found were very tiring... but once you
get the hang of that, that becomesa little
less tiring. But the travel itself between
cities the long fiights can be somewhat tiresome.

How did you end up inrhisposinon?

Originally, it certainly wasn't my plan
or intention to end up in the sort of
business development/sales/marketing
field. But generally, in the organizations
I' ve been involved with, there's been a
very strong need for people who understand the technology side of things and
who can communicate them to an outside party.
So,probably because ofthe languages
training or education I' ve had, I was able
to do that, and to convey ow message so
people on the outside can understandit.
And simply because there was such a
strong need, I always got pulled in those
areas. People asked me to sit in [on}
meetings with customers to help them
explain what our products diIL
What do you hkebest about your j ob?
Probably the challenge of stepping
outside our own organization and trying
to look at things &om a customer or
partner'
sperspective.It'sverydiffi
cultto
sort of fall out of love with your own
products. [For} a lot of technical people
or engineers... it's difficult to basically
look at something you' ve been involved
in the development }of} with a critical
eye, and to determine not only what' s
great about it, but also potentially what

are its weaknesses. And }then} presenting it in a light that both accurately and
truthfully conveys what it is, but also
really underscores its strong points and
values from a customer's perspective,
which might be very different from what

What sorr of challengesdo you expect to

face in your position or industry in the
nextcouple of years?
In my position. I feel like I'm very
much still making the transition from a
technical person to more of a sales and
marketing person I probably have a
ways to go. But ultimately, that's probably what I enjoy the most... and there's a
lot that's new to me in the sales/market-

ing fields. The challenges will be continually improving those sales and marketing abilities and learning to think more
and more like a technical sales and marketing person.
And for the industry itself, it's no
secret that wireless space and the telco
space in general is very weak, so that' s
posed some challenges for us. But things
are starting to get easier as the industry
starts to pick back up again.
Whar would you consider ro be the most
important skills or qualities thar someone
would nard to do your j ob?
First and foremost, because of the
type of products and technologies we' ve
developed,you have to know the technology side inside and out. I do run into
a lot of people who are responsible for

promoting and selling very complex

technical products into very complex
technical markets, to very sophisticated
customers, who basically just can't talk
at their level, and I think that frustrates
customers.They have questions that

ing at all. It an be a way to get someone

working right away, giving them a few
minutes to understand some very basic
technology functions and then letting
them discover whatever else they wish to
discover on their own,
The ffaw in this strategy is that it does
not guide the discovery process or
even ensure that there is one. While it is
quite understandable to question why an
employee needs to be taught more than
the functions you think they need to
know about in order to do their job. the
fact is that some employees want to be
able to contribute more, to do moreand to make better use of the tools available to them.
If all you teach them is the minimum and you offer no further guidance in how they should train themselves while they are on the job they
will draw their own conclusions and may
spend time teaching themselves how to
do things that have no applicability to
their job.
Start by thinking about your business
and its goals, then if you' re set on the
idea of employees learning while they are
on the job direct employees to learn
about applications for the technology
that you yourself have not yet had the
time to explore. Let's say, for example,
that you would really like to do a mailing
to all your customers about a new service you want to offer. The only problem
is, you don't know how to do a "mail
merge" from the addresses in your
Microsoft Outlook address book to the
letter you' ve created in Microsoft Word.
Get your employee to learn how to do
that. It will not only get the job done,
and ensure that you have broadened the
skill base of your staff, it will also make
your employee feel like he or she is making a real contribution to the organization.

Seleding anonline training solngon

There are also a lot of online training
offerings available to help employees
learn how to better make use of technol-

ogy everything from basic offfce productivity applications to network managementto Web development and data-

I I

base design. Before selecting any such

training solution for your staff, work
with them one again to focus your' business goals and learn a little more about
your employee's personal achievement

goals.
A good strategy here is to allow
employees once you have met with
them and discussed these goals to
come up with their own online training
strategy. You can let them do their own
research, their own due diligence, and
then make a business case for spending
the time and resources to have them do
the course.

Qassroomtraining
There are also a lot of options for those
who want to send their employees on
dedicated courses outside the office.
While these can be more expensive and
are obviously less gexible than on-thejob training or online training, they do
havetheadvantage ofencouraging focus
by employees. If employees know that
they are solely supposed to focus on
training for the period of the course,
they may absorb a great deal more than
if they try to fft in training around fleeting moments of "downtime" at work and
at home.
As anemployer,you need to make sure
that the training you are going to pay for
wig yield a benefft for your small business unless the training is an employee
reward for having achieved some predefined target or goaL Ideally, it should
be a mix of the two. Outside training can
be s strong statement of your belief in an

individual employee, and having it

linked to a reward for achieving certain
targets may, in some circumstances, be
very appropriate.

TakeEmeto assessresngs
Finally, you need to be patient in assessing the results of your employee technology training. As with anything, it may
take time for an employee to fully absorb
everythinghe or she has learned &om
the training particularly if it took place
in a dassroom setting outside work and
the employee then has to spend some
time and brainpower fflpfring out how
to apply what they' ve learned to their
current work situation. 0

All of this is interesting stuff, but with

"why would I want to go into the Unix

shet to do email or printing when there
are perfectly good GUI programs on the
MacDS X thatdo the same thing?"
While this book will give you a working
familiarity with Darwin (the name for the
Unix core), it doesn't offer very competingreasons forwhy you'
d want to use
it. Why use lynx (a text-only Web browser) when you can use Internet Explorer or
NetscapeNavigator? Why use pine to read
email when you can useOutlook?
I know Linux diehards could give me
some answers, but the authors haven't.

when you start transferring larger text Bios.

Another problem is screen size while
using a remote PC at an Internet cafe
would pose little difaculty, the smaller
yow screen size, the harder it will be to
manage your data, forcing you to scroll
thmugh pages and pages of options in
some cases. During a trial run, we were
able to get to the data we needetL but in
some cases it felt like a marathon, esperiaay on the tiny ceB phone window.
As the speed of digital wireless networks improves with the introduction of
lx CDMA networks and tbe faster
GSM/GPRS networks. speed will become
less of an issue, though the size of the display will continue to be a problem. It's a
small complaint considering the fact
that I'm InTouch allows you to connect
to your desktop at ae for the convenience of remaining in touch with your
data, it's hard to imagine complaining
too much about having to go through a
few extra stepson a cellphone.
The software to be installed on the
desktop will work on Windows 9x, Me,
NT, 2000, and now Xp. Interested users
can download I'
m InTouch for a 30-day
I'ree triaL The software itself won't cost
you anything if you decide you like it,
but there will be a monthly subscription
cost for using the Olcom.corn server
(which you need to set up the peer-topeer connection). A subscription costs
$9.95 per month, or $99 for a fuB year.
