everything going on in the house. The current version isquite quiet, but previousinvocations havebeen very noisy.
As to meaning noise, both CSA and

in the hopes it will improve the internet
experience for Canadians.

"The eff

the new browser in Toronto. "A large
number of Canadians have Pr obiems

ognize that Canadians are missing out
on the advantages ofthe Web because of
poor design."
MSN.ca worked with industrial desrgners to retool its browser to simplify tasks and make features easier to find. Key improvements include a static toolbar that stays with the user wherever they go on the Internet and a customizable toolbar for acessing personal information and
services. The browser integrates MSN Hotmail, as well as Calendar, Search, Messenger, and
Windows Media Player.
The MSN Explorer browser can be downloaded at hup//w

run on battery powerwhile you' re in a

pretty toy if it can't do the work?

This ultra-portable notebook

does thework. It's a real charmer,
lightweight andsmallI kg (2.2 lbs) and just
2.54 an (one inch) thickand packed with
some impressivefeatures.
Its standard configuration includes a 12
GB hard drive, l28 MB SDRAM, integrated

56(Cbpsmodem, speakers, miaophone, and

headset jacks, a pointing device, digital audio
and video cards, PC Card slot, VGA output,

USB port, and apower adapter. Sonyhasalso

included some unique features, suh as a
FireWire (or IEEE l394) port for a digital
video recorder, an integratedVGA resolution
digital camera, and Sony's proprietary
Memory Stick slot. Standard peripherals,

plane or sitting on your sofa in front of the

TV. for example the ambient light levels

would be muchlower anyway, sothe dimmer

screenwouldn't be asproblematic.
The system includesa decent graphicscard
that comes with 8 MB of SDRAM and 3D
acceleration to make video smooth. At first
glance, the screen looks like HDTV format,
but it isn' t. In faa, the resolution is 1,024x480.
The effect is not more information on a smaller screen, but half the information vertically.
When we compared the Picturegook's
monitor to another VAIO the R505TS,
which has a resolution of 1024x768 the
screen image is just as crisp, bright, and dear,
just shorter. The difference in resolution simply meant there was less information on the

screen. Since we did not have a DVD player

with the unit we could not compare the play-

installed business productivity software, such

as Intuit Quicken 2000, Apple QuickTime,
Adobe Photo Deluxe Business Edition, and
Microsoft Word 2000, onto this system.
It also comes with a cogection of really
neat accessories like the Music Clip, Digital
Photo Printer, PC Glasstron Personal Display

back quality of digital video. There may be a

diff
erence with the "wide-screen" of the
PictureBook, but that couldn't be determined.

Built into the lid abovethe screenisa VGAresolution (356,000 pixel CCD) camera that
lets you shoot stills or capture video clips.
The neat thing about the camera is that it can
swivel either toward or away from you. So, if
you wanted to take a picture of someone sit-

(which is VR headset), IC Chip Recorder,

wireless LAN devices, and the CyberFrame

ting opposite from you, you simply fiip the

digital photo display.

One of the PictureBook'sunique featuresis
its )og Dial control a click-wheel on the side

camera around and snap the shot. There' s

even a capture button built right into the keyboard making it very easy to take pictures.
We didn't capture any video with the cam-

of the notebook that offers another interface

to the computer. Instead of using the pointing device in the middle of the keyboard, you
can choose to open documents and folders

I used the VAIO Picturegook during two
weeks I spent in bed reawering fiom a back

injury. I was very impressedwith the easeof

use. how comfortable the unit was to work
with, and wasvery grateful for its small size and

onto a Memory Stick, you can then play the
music on any MP3 player with a Memory

weight. The only problem I had was gening

used to the relatively smaBscreen (8.9-inch).
While it wasdear and easyto read, I'm used to
a )7-inh monitor and being able to view an
entire Webpagesin oneshot. That said. thesystem wasa joy to useand I was sadto giveit up.
Thereare severalreally neataccessoriesfor

Stick slot. Sounds good, but because this is

proprietary technology, few other manufacturers have adopted it (although several
)apanese manufacturers licensed the tehnology in 1999). Thus, for now, if you wanted to

ma
inly

take advantage of this, you would be

restricted to usingSonydevices.
To make a movie, you can usethe built-in
camera, or plug a digital video camera into

hosea
notebook computer is an obvious
choice for anyone who has to do work

on the go, but it presents a small

irony no matter how portable you are,
you' re sbil tied to your power cable, for the

mostpart. Though notebook computers

always have a battery, inevitably the runtime is much shorter than would be optimai
for a true portable experience.
At betweentwo and four hours runtime

fromatypicalonboard battery,you haveto

be very sparing in the type ofwork you do
when there's na power socket nearby; in

fact
,you often can't even squeeze enough
powerout ofan onboard battety to lastyau
the entim Right if you' re flying from Toronto
to Vancouver.
Toronto's awn Electrofuel naw offers an

external battery solution for those onthe Bo

who needlonger runtimes.The PowerPad
will be available in two sizes, the 160 watthour Powerpad 160 (bebveen 12 and 16
hours runtime), aad the 210 watt-hour
PowerPad210 (offering between 18 aad 21

hours runnme).
The batteries use lithium ion superpolymertechnotogy to squeeze this amount of
power into a shape that's slightly larger
than a mausepad, in a design that sits

under your notebook. The battem is connectedto your notebaalfs powerby piggybacldng an the reguhr BC power adapter
plug via a special cable, which is available
for a variety of different notebooks.
The Poweryad 160 adds 1.12 kg (2.5 lb.)
to yournotebook setup.and the 210 checks
in at 1.3 kg (2.9 lb.).You also have to put
in a Iot of work to pay aff the initial cost of
the PowerPad it's nut cheap.
But neit
her the added weight or the
addedcostis a realproblem forthose wko
really need the power: a couple of regular
notebookbatteries costabout as much, and
yau haveto shut down the PC evety time
you swap batteries.With the PowerPad, it's

smoothsailing ag the way.

The Powerpad 160 is currently available
in A and 8 versions. A is compatible with
Acer. Compaq, and IBM notebooks, and
costs U5$499. 0 is compatible with
Panasonic,Toshiba, and Gateway models,
and casts U5$529. Both versions ship with

appropriate cables and power adapters,

but replacement cables and adapters are

avail
able for US$30 and U5$90 eah,
respectiveiy.
The Poweryad 210 was not shipping at
the time of writing,butstay tuned forfurther details on priring.

ennea fedoe: BBIPSaonNny aepiriee.

n most respects. the HipZip is

like other ultra-portable MP3
players
. except for the fact
that it uses 40 MB Pucketgip (formerly known as Clik!) Boppy disks to
store MP3 files (two disks are included).

is that the HipZip uses an internal rechargeable battery, and

comeswith a poweradapter.
The playerplays both MP3 and

acceptfuture audio standards.You need a I58

connectionto uploadyourmusicto the player,

ifyouhaveanadapterforyom PCornotebook.
At in afi. petty standard MP3-player stuff. but
with two mmrvations: one, the player is a bit
heavier than most solid state-memory based players. Secondly, because it uses a pmpratary disk
format, you' restuck with fairiy expenrive mechanicalme dia thatmay notbe around foatac
If that doesn't bauble you, the player itself is
perfedty good, with excellent sound, a good

Bottom line:the instant photos aren't up

to the quality you'd get from traditional
pnntphotography or even those ofa high-

ecurlly for your llEle
handhald.

ometi
mes it's funny when someone
withoutpreconceptions comments on

high-tech gadgetry. Case in point: my

father saw the ultra-cooL semi-translucent purple
and aluminum Iomega Predator sitting on my desk and
askedwhat it was.When I told him it was a portable CD-RW
drive, he looked at it again and said, "You calL that portable?"

hen you think of antitheft devices for the

computer, Kensington
Lock is likely the product that
springsto mind fastest. The Kensington PDA Saver can now do
foryour PDA what the Kensington Lock does for your desktop

In asense,I suppose he's ri

ght. Put the words "portable" and "CD"
togetherandyou thinkofthe battery-powered Discman that'sonlyslightly largerthan a CD and maybe halfaninch thick.In comparison, the Predator's approximate 15x23x2.5 cm (6xgxl in.) frame seemsmonstrous, especially if you include the power supply.

equipment.
The PDAsaver consists of a locking omponent attached to
the end of a steelcable. The lock has a post that fits into the
stylus slot on selected Palm models and Handspring Visors (we've
confirmed that it works with the original Palm Pilot, the Paim
III, and the Visor Prism; it is incompatible with open-stylus slot
modelslike the Pabn V,the Palm M505, and the Visor Edge).

Objectively, however, this is definitely a portable drive the kind you can unplug and pik up, moving from computer to computerwithout a second thought.It's easily the least bulky of the current crop of externalCD drives.
As with most ofIomega's products,it's easy to get this unit up and running:installthe software,reboot ifnecessary, then connectthe drive.Packaged with Mac and PC software,the Predatorcomes in both USB and IEEE 1304 (FireWire) flavours,so it's hotswappable.The benefi
t is obvious to anyone who has multiple omputers and oniy one CD-RW drive; suddenly it's easierto make
backupsfrom each machine, regardiess of whetherthey're connected by a LAN or not. If you think thatsounds like Iomega'searlierZip and 3az drives,you're ri
ght but in this case,you don't have to cartthe drive around with you ifyou want to use the discs
elsewhere.
For PC users, there is an additional consideration of convenience versus speed. The USB and FireWire Predators are identical,

Wheninserted,you turn the key and a tamping mechanism

locks the PDA in place. There's also a hole in the lock bracket for
you tostore your displaced styWs. One drawback: when you're
using it with the Handspring Visor line, the edge of the metal
ciamp coversthe edge of the Springboard siot.If you have a
Springboard module that is larger than the size of the slot itself,
you probably won't be able to use it while the lock is in plae.

exept for an adapter that plugs into the back. The drive itself is Bx (write) 4x (rewrite) 32x (read), but with a USBconnection,
the limited bandwidth reduces achievable speeds to 4x 4x 6x (Iomega promisesfullspeed using USB 2.0).Madntosh users can
spend the extra 575 and grab the FireWire version without blinking, but PC users have to dedde if they' re willing to suffer through
reduced throughput while waiting for USB2.0, or shell out the extra bucks for the drive and a FireWire card.
Itwould have been nice ifIomega had harkened back to their one-drive-fi
ts-aN ZipPius,which would make those with both USB
and FireWire-enabled computersvery happy.Would it have been so hard to provide a Predatorpackage thatincludes both adapters,
orat least the option to purchase adapters separatelyf
Considering the Predatot/s nearest competitor,the Hewlett-Packard 8230e,is $100 cheaper,that Rexibility could have tipped a
potentia
lbuyerin the Predator's favor.Iomega's entry into the portable CD-RW arena may be the sieekest and the coolest, butit's
justone packaging decision away from being the best.

The PDA Saver, bke your handheld, is also truly portable.

Instead offi
rrctng you to bolt the end of the cable to the desk,
the endofthe cable opposite the lockfeatures a loop,so as long
as you can find something to loop around, you can thread the
lock component back through the loop, attach to the PDA, and
it's locked in place.When not in use,you wind up the cable and
placein your backpack orpocket,untilyou need it next.

f you read The Computer Paperregularly, youtl know we' re big BlackBerry fans.
A year has passed since we first laid our hands on an evaluation unit and we
still have the zeal of the converted when it comes to this device to the point
thata couple ofus in editorialhave purchased them for everyday use.
In summary,the BlackBerry is setup like a pager,buthastwo-way messaging capabil
ity, allowing you to both receive and send text messages from any area that has
digital wireless coverage, as well as surf the Net and receive standard pager data like
phone numbers.
The Blackgerry's software bundle also features a calendar/scheduier, a calculator,
memo pad. and to-do list. Data is entered with a tiny (and surprisingly easy-to-use) keyboardand a jog-wheel on the side of the device... which means no fumbling around with a stylus, or trying to
rememberhow to enterdata.
Forsychronization. the BlackBerry ships with InteUisync, which does a good job of matching the uniYs data
fields with many popular desktop organizers, including MSOutlook, GoldMine, Act, Groupwise, Lotus Notes, and
Lotus Organizer.
With moderate usage.the onboard rechargeable battery can last weeks.
The BlackBerry is available in Canada through Rogers ATBT (hap//www.rogers.ca) and Bell Mobibty (hrlp.//www.betmobililycom).You'llbe subject to a monthly airtime fee to access the network, which typicaUy maxes out at $50
per month for unlimited usage. U.S. coverage is also available, for an additional monthly fee of $25.
The main limitation of the Blackgeny package is in the relatively small covemge areas of the data networks.
You'8 be able to use them in large urban areas serviced by Mobitex (Rogers ATR
I) or Ardis (BeU Mobility), which
means ail the major Canadian cities, but not aU of the mid-size or smaller ones.

n thepast,we've wri
tten about Creative'sNomad Jukebox, an MP3 player with a 6 GB hard drive onboard (or is it a 6 GB hard drive with an
MF3 player onboard?). With that much capacity, it can literally be aU
the musicyou need, no matter where you go...the oifi
ce, the cottage,or
evenjustto the next room.
For those who like to take their Jukebox everywhere, Creative subsidiaW
CambridgeSoundWorks has now introduced the PlayDock FD200, a portable
speakersystem designed to complement the Nomad Jukebox, but which can

be used with any portabledevicewitha 1/8-inch stereo outputjack.

It's a compact design that has stereo speakers built in (7 watts RMSper
channel)
,as weU as a subwooferfor good bass response (15 watts RMS). A
gloveon thetop holdsyourJukebox in place,and a built-in plug keeps the

Jukebox poweredand charged up.

The PlayDock also has its own rechargeable battery, which provides up to
10hoursofaudio when you're on the road (unlessyou like to
play your music really loud, of course). This battery adds
substanti
ally to the weight of the device the
Playdock and Jukebox together adds up to
almost7 kg buta built-in handle makes
it easier to carry.
W hetheryou take it to the
beach or just plop the
PlayDock down next to your PC
at work, it makes a great companion for your portable music
device, Nomad or otherwise.
(Speri
alnote:the Nomad Jukebox
has recently dropped in price, to
$499. making it even more attractive.)

Congo fnttnm Play Cits and

RDPDs.

Come fatten Mo tall, no getleshaff. no mailer, It's one ot the heel mlee going.
echnologicagy speaking,the

ns of MP3 are, no doubt, familiar

with the Rio line of players, which
started the whole MP3 player
craze. While the Rio line continues to
be refined in its familiar form (compact
players with internal flash memory),
theVolt shows the Rio branching out to
embrace CO-based MP3 piayback. In
addition to handling MP3, the Rio Volt
also recognizes and plays back Windows Media files, and can also play standard audio COs.
Design-wise,the Volt is a mixed bag, but mostly posifi
ve. As you'd expect from a CD-based
device, the Volt is a much larger player than the other members of the Rio bne, and is pretty much
the same size as any other portable CD player.
For added portability, the player ships with a soft protective cover with a slot for your headphones,and a spot for attaching the case to your belt loop. The Volt also comes with a remote
control lip, so you can place the player into a backpack or into your pocket, and still control your
music.
The player runs on two standard AA batteries,so be prepared to buy a bundle ofbatteries
to keep the player going;yourbest betisprobably to invest in a set ofrechargeable batteries and
the charger.

Ifyou wantto save batterylife,you can droptheshock protectionfrom 40 secondsto 10 seconds, at the cost of a bit of stability of playback. The player itself features a +30 button for quickly navigating through an extensive group ofsongs,an essentialfeature when each CD can hold
between 200 and 400 tracks.About the only downside to the design ofthis unit is the release
latch for the player door, which isn't recessed and is relatively easy to hit when the player isn't in
its protective case.
The Volt ships with SONICblue's music ripping software for creating audio files from your own

COs,and Adaptec EasyCD Creator4 forburningCDsto use in the player.You'U needto make sure
youhave aCO burnerin yourPC,oraccessto one.Ifyou don't have one,you can stillplay your
regularCDs in the playeruntilyou get one...but that won't be quite as much fun.

desktop mouse i s f a irly

I an cient it turns 41 t his
year, making it older than the
personal computer. Unlike most
3
other computer-related tools, it
hasn't changed much in that
I
time.Most of the innovations in
tracking, ergonomics, and cordlesstechnology were developed
years ago. and have merely been
refined ever since. In my mind,
the LogitechCordless Mouseman
Optical represents the end of the
mouse's current evoluti
on, at
least until the next major conceptual leap forward.
Consider the evidence. The radio
technology used for cordless mice has remained essentially unchanged since its inception 10 years
ago;the basic recessed thumb rest/button and arched design have been around forsome lime as
welL It can even be argued that the relatively recent works-on-any-surface opticaltechnology,
popularized by Microsoft's Intelinouse series, is based on the original optical mouse designed 20
years ago. There's really nowhere else to go with these except for greater precision.
Even if it is an evolutionary dead end, the ultra-chic Cordless Mouseman Optical is a great
way togo out.As its name implids,it combines cordless technology with the latest and greatest in optical technology, along with Logitech's typical stellar design. It fairly glides over the
desktop (or pants leg, or CD jewel case, or whatever's handy) without a pesky rubber bail slowing it down. So much so,you may want to crank your mouse pointer speed settings down a
few notches.Ittakes a little while to get used to near-fi
ictionless mousing, butthe end result
is worth it.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.Businesses remain
focusedon selling theircustomers on the dead

WorldWide Web, but the Web's tenure as the

In its place is emerging a new version of the
Internet, which Forrester analyst Carl D. Howe

form, and seal the deal immediately
Napster, which atows for something similar
by aUowing users to choose wanted items
from otherusersand to download them immediately, is an early executable-Internet application, Howe's report says. Such utilities will

ate users far beyond the static Web,

dubs "X Internet."

Itsounds mysteri
ous,and in some waysis,
But anyone who has read their Nicholas
Negrapontehas an idea of what Howe is talking about. In his seminal short 1995 book,
Bent Digi
tal, Massachusetts Institute of

Technology (MIT) Media Lab director

Negropontesketched out a world in which the

Internet pervadesevery aspect of daily bfe. Say

your refrigerator notices you're out of milk. It
simplysends a message to yourcar,which nags
you not to forget about stopping at the store

on yourway home thatnight.

That'
s exactly the future Howe sees for a
fast-coming iteration of the Internet that he

caRs "the extended Internet" (orX Internet).

This version, he says, will begin achieving
prevalence by 2005. By 2010, according tn
Forrester projections, there will be a whopping
14 bil
lion devices connected to the Internet.
Relatively few of them will be computers, just
chip-powered applianceseven objects like
cartires.By way of context,there are only 93
million computers hooked up to the Net right
now, Forrester says.
"I think...that the Web can only go so far
in satisfying users," Howe said. "What this
report tries to articulate is that the Web is not

theInternet,thatthere are more applications

on theInternet specifically ones that both
deli
ght users and that connect the Internet
better to the real world."
The argument parallels the latest thoughts

on thesubject by Tim garners-tee,the man

who inventedto the World Wide Web in 1989.
In the May 2001 edition ofScientrficAmen'con

magazi
ne,garners-Lee descri
besa next-generationversion of the Web, the "Semantic Web,"
whichwould use software agents that allow
machinesto understand what other machines
on the Web are teiling them, in context. Direct
human commands aren'tneeded.
Thus, ordinary users wiii compose Semantic
Web pages and add defi
nitions and rules
designed solely for computers to understand.
That way, computers will be able to instantly
notif
y a userifa doctor's appointment is double-bookedwith some otherengagement, and
put out feelers to the Web that automaticaly

retur
n alternative appointment dates, along
with sperialists within a 50-mile radius who
could be consulted should rescheduling wah
the original doctor prove a bother. XML is one

key ingredient to what both Berners-Lee and

Howe are thinking about.

whichHowe's report condemns as mostly

"dumb" and "boring."
Nonetheless, X Internet will shortly trump
even the executable versron, Howe predicts.
When it amves, consumers will begin to see
s mart devices pushing the limits of t he
Inter
net far beyontiits present PC-based capabilities. It will lead to Internet devices and
appli
cations "that sense. analyze and control
the real world," he writes.
The teportuses the example of a home in
New England, where people are reticent to leave
in winter hr fear of fieezing, bursting pipes. X
Internet would make it possible far a devicesay a car to detect from thousands of miles
away the temperature at home, and automatically adjust the thennostats. Service praviders
like utiTities couhi be in on the action, too,
monitoring homes and lowering rates if ustomers will let them automatically adjust their
energy conmmption during peak periods.
Another example: BP Amoco installs an
Internet-enabled gasoline pump at a fi
ting
station. It logs all maintenance information
and diagnoses any problems to both the station'
s owner and to BP Amoco without the
owner having ta do any maintenance or monitoring.
In fact, Forrester predicts, businesses wiR
makemuch more use out ofthe X Internet than
consumers.They wia have the money needed

to extend the Internet, and they will spend

Once a bill has been paid, it is tagged as having
been read by the customer.
An advantageoftheCheckfme/Webdoxs system
is the bills offer more information to a customer
than tmditional paper-based bills. With a phone
bill, for example, a customercan dick on an individual chargeand get mominformation about it or
dispute the charge if they believe it is wrong.
Curtis Croft, senior vice-president and general manager for Checkfree in Norcross, Gerogia,
says being able to dispute individual charges
online cuts customer service costs and speeds
up the payment process.
Croft adds that CheckFree will be releasing a
version of its i-Series 4.0 for smaller regional
companies.
"Itis not a stripped down offeri

SONERS, N.Y. IBM (hup//www.tbm.corn) has
unveiled new software that is compatible with a
variety of Internet standards, making it easier
forcompanies to do business with one another
on the Web.
Businessescan use the new products to create,publish and securely deploy,hostand manage Web services applications, IBM said. The
software also enables businesses to convert
existing applications into Web services.
The initiative enhances IBM's 082 database,
Websphere,Lotus Notes and Tivolisecurity software and other programs. "It's the next level of
sophistication," said Scott Hebner, IRN's
Websphere director.
Websphere Application Server 4.0, which is
expectedto be be available June 30, supports a
vari
ety of open standards and technologies
needed to develop, publish and deploy Web
services applications.
"Web services are emerging e-business applicationsthat can connect and interact with one
another on the Web more easily and efficiently,
eliminatin
g much ofthe time-consuming custom
coding currently required in, for example, 828
envir
onments," IBM Software Group Executive
Steve Mills said in a statement.
The new standards include Universal
Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI),
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and 3ava
2 Enterprise Edition (32EE).
"Whatthese standards do is provide a mechanism for integrating applications, particularly
in a transactional context," Hebner said.

The personal digital assistant-based service,

solely for the widdy used D-Sub connector. Recently, the prie differential
has come down, which has had two
effects. First, there's now more of an
incentive to include both on a product,

One of the promises of TFT fiat-pand

and we' ve seen more graphics cards

displays was related to the digital nature

of the devices.
In thin fi)m transistor displays, up to

with both connectors onboard. The flipside is that the price of adding both connectors isn't great enough to justify getting rid of the D-Sub connector at the
monitor end, which means that for the
short term, most flat-panel monitors that

four transistors control each pixel (or, picture element) on the display. Each pixel is a
digital bit of data that should correlate perfectly to the digital video data being generat-

ed by thecomputer,and thereforetheimage
should have no chance to distort.
This is in marked contrast to the CRT,
which was at its heart an analogue device,
and required the video card to convert the
digital information into an analogue signal
in order to display it. As the thinking went, if

you kept the signal digital all the way to the

flat panel, you'd get a superior image.
But digital monitors have not won the
day at least not yet for a few reasons.
Because the analogue D-Sub connector was

the common link between graphics cards

and monitors, the move to a straight digital
interfae, which requires a different connec-

also retain the D-Sub.
But what about image quality of analogue

flat pane)s became available. Graphics card
manuhcturers weren't indined to move to a
straight digital card because it would limit

their market to just digital displays. By the

same rationale, the manufacturers of flatpanel monitors weren't inclined to go strictly digital because it would limit the number

of graphics cards the monitors could be

used with.
And so, for the most part, both groups stuck

versus digital displays? While the image of

earl
y analogue flatpanda was often marred
by shimmy and shake (an artifact of the dou-

ble conversion from digital to analogue, then

back), newer flat-panel monitors feature
much better analogue conversion, to th e
point where many users can't even tell the

difference.
According to Mickey Mantiply, display
products line manager with IBM, subjects in

The MM-2000 consists of four satellite
Monsoon dipole-radiating planar magnetic
transducers
,a subwoofer,and controlmodule.

(See our earlier review at CanadaComputes.corn

or the company Web site for an explanation

of the of dipole-radiating planar magnetic

transduers if you' re not familiar with the

technology).
These units are slightly smaller than the MM1000 setup, measuring 22.6xt1.3xt cm.
Connecting wires are tagged with red tabs for

properphase connection, and the leads am

tinned with solder to prevent splitting.
The satellite shnch are wire assemblies that
insertinto holes in the bottom. Care must be
takento prevent the stand from faUing over or
pinching the cable that emerges from the rear of
each satellite tmnsducer.
A 6.5-inch magnetically shielded cone sits
inside the subwoofer box. Additional bass thrust

is applied by two 6.5-inch passive radiators

mountedon either side of the hox. While the
powerswitch isalso on the subwoofer box,that
is the only control there.

Designed to complement Hewlett-Packard's
Pavilion PC line. the FX75 monitor can
nonethdess be used with any PC with a DVI
or D-Sub video connector. It features the
same styhng as the HP Pavilion PC, with a
sihler casing eminiscent of brushed metal,
and dual-tone moulding.
There are no viewing angle speci6cations
listed, but based on observations, comfortable viewing range is about 60 degrees left
and right, and about 50 degrees &om bdow:
&om above, it seems to be wider if there's no
glare, up to about 80 degrees. These specsare
a bit lower than those of some of the other
monitors available, but the fact that the base
doesn't mtate at ag may be more generally
problematic.
For what you get, the pricing is a bit higher than some of the other monitors. Still,

what you get is s very high-quality display,

and if you' re looking for something stylish
that will sit nicely beside your Pavilion PC,
this is a good choice.

ViewPanel looks almost identical to one of

ViewSonic's 17-inch CRT monitors, but its
slim design saves about 26 cm of desk space.
Like the company's CRT displays, this particular model doesn't rotate left to right, but

does tilt forward about 6ve degrees, aad

back about 30 degrees. Again, this is less
problematic than the fact that the monitor
base does not mtate at all, so if you' ll need to
change its direction regedarfy, be prepared to
lift and turn it.

While the FX series is targeted more at the

home user, the LIBIO is aimed at the busi-

nessdesktop. Fiuingly, you get a very useful

monitor with a lot of features, but not a lot
of ornamentation to get in the way of tbe
functionality.
One of the nicest features of the LIBIO is
the ability to Sip between the D-Sub and DVI
video inputs by pressing a button. This bas a
few bene6ts. The most obvious is the ability to
use a single monitor with two different PCs,

and just switch between the two by toggling

the buuon. Second. and lessobvious, if you
hook both inputs up to different connectors
on the samePC, youcan usea single monitor

as a dual-monitor system, if you really don' t

havethe space for another monitor on your
desktop. (We tried this using both video connectors on the ATI Ra Jeon VE, and it worked
just Sne. though it should be noted that the
VE comes with Hydravision desktop software
that makes this irrelevant anyhow. The point
is, though, it works.)
The rest of the L I 8 ID is also weU designed.

The on-screen display (OSD) ontml features a button and a scroll-wheel with an
interesting interface: when the menu is olf,
turning the scroll wheel one way activates the
brightness, turning it the other way triggers
contrast. Press the button and get the fuU
menu system instead. Setter, the built-in

esktop.

LG Bectronics manufactures a lot of the TFT

screensthat are placed into other companies'

monitors, so it's only natural that the company should have its own Sat-panel line. As
espected, the screen is high-quaUty, and the
base offers reasonable conggurabiTity and a
cable-management solution.
As with the Hewlett-Packard monitor

cess stories. a company that's grown big

enoughto take on the world,by buitding carefully on tts strengths.
Based in Victoria. B.C., ACD Systems now
employs about 150 people. It's still operated by
its Tuuxdeis, including David Hooper, creator of
the software,and now vice-president of product
development.
ACO Systemshas succeeded largely by sticking with its strong suit: graphics viewing and
manipulation. It currently offers numerous
products in this category, including Picayiew (a
thumbnail viewer), fotovac (a newsgroup
image downloader). ImageShark (a Web image
server), PhotoSee Pro (a thumbnail image catalogue), and Imagefax (image preview for
Windows File Open and File Save dialogues).
The company has made one detour, aad
that's into instant messaging. Its Express
Communicatorgoes head-to-head againstproducts like AO(s ICO and Microsoft's MSN
Messenger which may tend to limit its future
somewhat.On the other hand, ACD Systeixs
Express Messaging Server seems rather promising, allowing organizations to easily set up
instantmessagiag across a LAN.
However,ACDSee (for both Windows and
Marintosh) remains the flagship product. A
long-time favourite of Internet downloaders, it
has recently hit the retail shelves. In April,
ACDSee3.1 became available via the more than
500 Bectr
onics Boutique outlets in the U.S.
But equally significant is the suategy for OEM
appli
cations. Douglas Vaudekerkhove, ACD
Systems' president and chief executive officer,
reports that aU the code for ACDSeewas rewritten
in 1998. making the product completely modular,
and thusenabling easy customizatioa for OEM
customers. A software development ktt (SDK) was
released iu the second quarter of 2000.

"We're taking everything we learned ia the

sharewaie space and making it available ta

OEMs, saysVandekerkhove.Aad the OEMs certainly seem responsive. ACD Systems has been
signingup major dients at a steady paceincluding such imaging specialists as HewlettPackard, NEC, and Kodak.
"The software has been a real headache for
[these dientsj, points out Martin Wiustaatey,

vice-president of corporate affairs for ACD

Systems.As the complexity of the problem has
increased.so has the vatue of a packaged
image-management solution like ACDSee.
ACO Systems now projects that as much as
half of its revenue in 2002 will come fram OEM
sales. The SDK is available as a free download,
but a more complete ability to customize the
ACOSee program code, plus access to the A(D
Systemsuser base, starts at $500,000.

Given the Internet distribution scheme stiU

used for ACDSee. it's hard to tett just how many
people are actually using it. But one measure is
thetrafficon the ACOInTouch news service,which
sends tips and announcements directly to the
A(DSee software. In December,900,000 people
usedA(DInTouch an average of1.6 times eah.
A(D Systems estimates its total user base to
be as high as 18 million. The company claims
more than 17,000 corporate and institutional
users, including Dreamworks SKG, Disney, and
the White House. ACDSee has been localized in
multiple languages, and as of the third quarter
of 2000, ACD Systems reported that 24 percent
of its product revenue was coming from outside
North America.
With aU this going for it, ACD Systems seems
poised for major growth. The company has

investing its profi

ts,which have been seeing
triple-digit growth in revenues, but this cash
hasbeen ieinvested.A(0 Systems has been hiring staff. creating the base for the much larger

companyitexpectsto became.
Of course,as they say, that next step is a

doozy. Graphim and imaging is a big, rough

market... and managing runaway growth is a
stumbling block that's sunk many aspiring soft-

ware companies. But ACO Systems certainty

looks like it's gat the right stuff to succeed.

solid metal stand with crossbars that holds two
or mom flat panel monitors in place. Because
the stand is made out of metal, it's not particu-

vi s i on

no mat
ter how many displays
are mountedonto it.
At the end of each crossbar
is a metal baU-and-socket joint
attachedto a display mounting
bracket,to allow each of the
monitorsto be tilted up/down
and left/right. Although the sockets allow you to pivot the monitors slightly for

ali
gnment, each of the stands is designed for
use in oneorientation, either landscape(horizontal) or portrait (vertical).

MEDIA USROV P

The monitors slide into place onto the

ends ofthe crossbar with a click.A spe-

ISB
n vore

cialgroove and locking system makes iteasy

to assemble theMassdisplay,andjustaseasy
to take it apart again. This is particularly benefiri
al for those who want to use the Mass
setup fortrade shows or other public events,
butwho don't want to go through the hassle
of extensive setup and tear-down at the end
of the day.
The cablesare afitucked neatly inside the
stand through the upright section and out the
eossbars,with connectors to the displays
snaking out at the ends. A fairly large single
cableextends out nearthe bottom of the display and splits into multiple VGAconnectors at
thecomputerend, where the power cable is also
attached. The end result is an exceptionaay efficient design that keeps your desktop relatively
free of cables.
At the time of writing, Mass Multiples were

only available with the D-Sub connector, hut

DVI versions should be available by the time you
read this, at a slightly higher cost.
The dual horizontalsetup (the one we looked
at this month) is available with both 15-inch
and 18-inch monitors, at US51.995 and
US$3,650,respectively. Switching the ori
entation to vertical adds US5200 to each pri
ce. A
configuration with three horizontal monitors
arrangedside by side costs US$2,995 forthe 15inch and US$5,595 for the 13-inch version.
Arranging the three monitors into a pyramid for-

mationadds US$200 to each pri

ce. For the
deluxe quad-configuration (two by two), the
costis US$3,995 forthe 15-inch displays,and
US$7,595forthe 18-inch versions.

The case for flat-panel dispays

Balancing their higher cost, LCDmonitors offer a lot of real benefits
gy Sean Carztsgsara

consideration if thedisplay has to be moved

or repositioned regularly.

athode ray tube-based(CRT-based)

monitors are still considerably cheapter than the flat panels that use thinfl)m transistor (TFT) technology, but there
arequite a few compelling reasons to go flat,
despite the added cost.
First of all, the TFT takes up a lot less space
on the desk. In a CRT monitor, the picture
tube itself must be of a certain depth so the
electron guns at the back of the tube can
focus across the picture forming phosphors
on the inner surfa<e of the screen. A 17-inch
CRT well be about -15 cm (almost a foot and
a half) deep because of this basic geometric
relationship. Some m anufacturers have
developed so <afled "short-neck" tubes, but
they still take up more depth than a tlat-panel
monitor.
TFI' monitors don't use a picture tube. The
liquid crystal matrix that formsthe image is
itself just a few millimetres thick. The deepest
component of a TFT display is typicafly the
base at 25 <m (about nine inches), a Tpy
base can support a display ot 21 inchesor
greater,
and thatbase <an also feature m ultimediacomponents(speakers, a USB hub, and
more).
The compactness of the displays makes
them a valuable addition to any work area
where space is tight. Flat-panel displays are
also a lot lighter than standard monitors, a

An added bonus is in the viewing area. A

CRT always has a smaller viewable area than
its rated size (a 17-inch monitor's actual display is usually 16 diagonal inches or less), but
with an LCD display. what you pay for is what
you get a 15-inch disp)ay is aciuafly 15
diagonal inches.
Another benefit of TFT is the low radiation
rating. Beause a flat-panel display only emits
light, the radiation coming from the display is
almost completely eliminated. This characteristic of TFT displays has made them exceptionally popular in health care and other
areas where sensitive monitoring equipment
is being used.
Flat-panel monitors also use less energy.
5Vhere a 17-inch CRT display may require
100 wana or more, a similarly sized TFT display often requires 40 watts or less, which wi 0
lower yow energy consumption substantiafly
if your monitor is alwayson.
Even better, the lower power usage also
reduces the amount of heat generated, which
means lower air-conditioning costs in a room
with a lot of monitors. (Rote: evenin my
home office, a pair of 17-inch CRT monitors
generates enough heat that the room can
often be five degrees warmer than other
tooms in the house wben the door is closed.

For a lot of users, however, the quality of

the picture will be thebiggest selling point. If
you've worked with a CRT display, you' ve
most likely noticed distortion around the
edges of the display, slightly oblong circles.
compression at one end of the display ven
though items are stretched at the other, or
other suchdistortions.
Flat-panel displays are not subject to this
type of geomeuic distortion, because afl of
the pixels are hardwired into a geometrically
perfect grid. Unless the TFT panel is faulty, a
square should be square and a circle should
appear perfectly round (discounting the
slightly jagged edges caused by pixilation, of
course which is something that a(facts a
CRT circle, too).
The steadiness of the picture will be another big plus. '(Vith a CRT, the electron guns
have to make several passes per second across
the entire screen, with each pass ifluminating
the appropfiate phosphors to create the display. If this is not done quickly enough, the
phosphors dim somewhat before the next
pass, which manifests itself asBicker.
Because each pixel on an LCD monitor is
either on or oil; there is no dimming and
consequently no Bicker: each reFresh cyc)e
simply changes the state of each pixel.
Consequently,you can get a better quality of
display,even at a lower refresh rate. and this
canreally cut down on the eyestrain associat.

If you're working with larger CRT displays,

you may beforced to run each display at 60
Hz refresh or lower, which can be painful to
look at for extended periods. With a TFT

monitor, however, 60 Hz refresh is considered

optimal, meaning you can easily run two
TFTs comfortably, without eyestrain.

Tha dnwnaldaa to going fhtl

Wefl, if all of the above sounds too good to be
true, you' re probably wondering, "tt'hat's the
catch?"Wefl, there are a Few.
The flrst catch has to do with the very
nantre of the display. With a CRT, the phosphors are distributed over the surface of the
screen. and changingyour display resolution
simply involves exciting the phosphors in a

dilferent array.
With a Bat-panel, however. each pixel is
hard-wired into the display, and thus each
flat-pane) display isonly really optimized for
one resolution: a display with 1.024pixels

Again, there's a side benefit to this, for

those who have certain graphicscards that
support more than one monitor. With many
of these cards, you can support one monitor
at a high refresh rate. but when you add a
second monitor, the card splits the refresh
amongst the different monitors.

At present. it's almost impossible to Bx

individual pixels on a TIT display, and the
preferred method of dealing with a screen
containing faulty pixds is just to replace it
altogether. While this may be covered under
warranty, a few pixels aren't enough to justify monitor replacement, and each monitor
(even new ones) is bound to have the occa-

sional pixel error.

By the same token, stepping down your resolution can result in a blocky or blurry display
as the image is dithered and stretched
unevenly, resulting in an imprecise rendering.
Because each screen pixel is individually
controged, damage to the electronics can
result in permanent picture errors. A pixel
can bum out, or simply get "stuck" on a single colour, which can be anywhere from
mildly annoying (for the average user) to

However, the biggest disincentive by far to

going Sat is still the price. Despite a downward trend in the prices, sulx.51,000 TFf displays are the exception rather than the rule,
and those tend to be extremely basic. If you
want a monitor with a reasonably clear display, wide viewing angle and screen positionability (tilt, pivot. swivd). you still have to be

prepared to pay for the privilege. This is

especiaUv true with larger screens. 2

Mobile computers in the formof personal
digital amtstauts (PDAs) aud handheld PCs

(HPCs) have become a rapidly adopted

accessory among business users and consumers, aad uow represent a diverse aud

study said.

Advancing techuoiosy is transforming

mobile computers into true Internet terminals aod business computing tools, the
report said, adding that location based services represent a criticat part of the new

Linux moves quietly

into small business
sy romveneus
wo years ago many industry observers
were predicting that Linux would take
the world by storm, breaking the back
of the Microsoft behemoth and offering
small and mid-sized businesses areal operating system alternative.
While Linux continues to make signi6cant
headway around the world as a server OS, it
has not made the predicted impact on the
desktop systems in the small and midsize businesscommunity. But,
that is not to say that
Linux companies have
ignored the desktop.

market targeted the desktop as one way to get the

Corel

auempting to take Linux into the small business market. While the company recently
retooled and retrenched itself in the graphics

efforts in the Linux market. At Fall Comdex

But even with all of this. Linux has not
caught on to the degree many thought it
would in the small business desktop market,
says Kevin Restivo, analyst with Torontobased International Data Corp. (Canada).
"There have been novelty spikes, like
Corel, that generated interest in Linux when
their 6rst Linux release came out," he says.

networks help
businesses reduce
inventory
BOSTON, Mass. The Internet is expanding
its role as a facilitator of business-to-business
(B2B) cooperation to indude supply chain
management (SCM), according to a new
study released in late May by Jupiter Media
Metrix (httpr/wwwjmm.com).
A private trading network (PTN) is an
online collaboration between suppliers and
manufacturers, according to Jupiter Media
Metrix. The Internet analysis company said
most experts assumed PTNs would be used
to facilitate transactions, but many businesses are harnessing the power of the Web to
reduce inventory and in doing that, to save
money.
Tim Clark, Jupiter Media Metrix senior
analystand a featured speaker atthe company's recent B2B conference in Boston, Mass.,
said that the face of PTNs is rhanging.

"PTNs arenot a gamefor small playersany

more; the big companies are moving in," he
said. "In addition, software vendors have
seen that PTNs are the next big trend and are
making software to set up these trading networks."
Some ofthe bigger software companies in
this space are Manugistics, Agile Software.
MatrixOne, and Broadvision, he added.
Clark said the automotive industry was
one of the 6rst to adopt PTNs, but now other
sectors have embraced them, induding aero-

spaceand technology.
PTNs also are becoming more buyer-centric, Clark said."Buying networks used to be
many buyers and many sellers. Now, one
buyer is telling many suppliers they want a

private network. The buyer might say this

politely or they might not."
The move to reduce mventory levels is significant, according to Clark, because having
parts or 6nished products languishing in a

building isbad financially for companies all

along asupply chain.
"The ultimate goal is less inventory in the
system. If people are sharing inventory. it is
benefirial to all," he said. "If there is invento-

ry sitting around in a warehouse someone

has to own it, the warehouse must be rented
and it must be staffed. Deg only has five

hours of inventory. Dell's suppliers create

needmI parts on demand."

FINs supply visibility by connecting the

computer systems of companies that are
tradingpartners,C lark added.

A tangential goal of PTNs is for buyersto

reduce the nutnber of suppliers. Clark said.

"Companies that used to have 200 suppliers

now have 20, a number they Bnd far more

manageable."

the technical expertise on hand or the finandal resources to hire the people needed to

This is the argument put forward by
Richard Whidden, secretary for Brandon,
Man.-based Armchair Airlines Computer
Services Inc. His small software development
company uses Linux on tbe backend, supporting its Web servers, mail and news
servers, email, and its 6le and print server.
Because Armchair Airlines is a technology company, integrating Linux into its
existing network inkastructure has been
relatively easy. But smaller companies
without technically experienced stal'f are

of the Linux licenses are in small business

today," says Dick Sullivan, vice-president of
solutions and integrated marketing with
IBM in Sommers, N.Y. "And if you consider
that Linux is the fastest growing server o perating system out there, with 13 million
licenses last year, some 600,000 went to small
and mid-sized businesses."
Sullivan says that smaller companies are
looking to Linux to help them with their ebusiness operations. They are not looking

towards Linux to replace Windows or an

existing network inkastructure, even if it is

just a few machines networked to share

resources. In fact, smaller businesses see
Linux as a complement to what they have,

Recognizing this, IBM includes both desktop software and server software in its Linux
for Small Business Suite. The server portion
of the package comes with Lotus Domino

Application Server. IBM WebSphere, and

IBM's DB2 Universal Database Workgroup.
The desktop portion comes with IBM Suite
Installer, Lotus Notes for Windows, Lotus

Domino Designer for Windows, SmartSuite,

and WebSphereHomepage Builder.Setup
and use of both parts is designed to be very
straightforward, so small businessusers don' t

drive. With those requirements met, the

user simply has to follow some simple rules

and procedures and the system will configure and download the necessary software
and applications. The off-site technician

will collect any necessary business parameters,such as the number of people who
need Net access, email accounts, access
rules, and printers. Linux Office Solution

then generates the necessary solution for

the configuration, which is then loaded
onto the server.

"We are targeting the kind of customer

Another company that is focussing on
making Linux easier for smaller businessesto

which allows a business to quickly convert

president of Linux Office Solution. "The
benefit of this solution is that it is low cost
and you don't need anyone coming into
your office. We remotely generate a configuration file so that a person can just con-

figure their server in the office and download the solution."

To do this, a business needs a couple of
things: a standard TCP/IP Internet connec-

tion, which can be a dedicated line, DSIor

run in this environment do not get the individual benefit of native OS X services such as

Many developers are also looking into

have envisioned the types of services an OS
wouldhave to provide to the desktop computer
userof tnday.For example. the classic Mac OS
evolved, since its inception in 1984, by adding

numerousfeatuas, enhancemems and components. Colorsync system-level colour manage-

ment, QuickTimemedia components, and TCP/IP

nebxorking capabilities are a few examples of
technologiesthat wea grafted onto the Mac's
core OS design years after it was conceived.
Every time Apple imtiated on an upgrade

process
,theirsoftwaa engineerswould have to
resort to the tlious task of untangling and
modifyingthe core of the system.
This situation can be likened to eying to
replace the foundation of a building as you
decide to add additional levels to it. At some
point it simply becomes more efficient to blow
up the building and start again from scmtch.

The firm said users also can change the
optionsta change the language of the icon
descriptions, cantent-sensitive help files and
mail foider titles.
The default setling is English-American,
and can be reset to 11 other languages,
induding German, Spanish, Hispanic, Italian,
French, Chinese, Korean, 2apanese, Swedish,
Portuguese (Brazilian) and Polish.
A spokespersonfor the company said that
otherlanguages may be added to the software.
according to demand.
Far the technicaily minded, GLWebMail is a
server-based application that tnteriaces with,
or replaces, a firm's existing email application.
Once set up, users can access their email

acros
sthecompany network,oracrossalmost
anyTCPflP(Internet)connection,using aWeb
or mobile Internet/WAPbrowser.
Pridngon the package startsat US$495 for
up to50 users,through a series ofsteps,right
up toa 10,000-user licence for US$4,995.
The firm said it is confident that companies
will appreciate the technology, and is offering
a free 28-day trial version for download on its
Web site.
IT managers usually install the saftware on
their main server, and, if appropriate, draw in
existing email accounts from Windows NT,or
connect to SOL {structured query language)
databases or LDAP (lightweight director access
protocol) directories.
Gordano said users with existing emait
accounts on third-party mail services are supported, as GLWebMaii allows users ta transparently draw down email from POP-3 compliant
systems.
A demonshation/download facility for the
softwarehas been set up atthe company Web
site. Umrs can log on to the professional
interface atthe site using the language as the
user name and password followed by a digit
(1-9) for example e.g. "germanl,german l

Stili, a majority of suwey participants said the Net'either has not affected their consbmption
of traditional media, or they are not sure if their habits have changed.
ButBob Cohen, president ofScarborough Research,said the study shows the Internet is much
morethan just a new toy.
"While the majority of online users report no change in their traditional media habits, the fact
thatsubstantialpercentages ofpeoplereportaltered behaviouris evidence to the continuing evo.
od of time, Americans have
lotion of consumer habits," said Cohen. "In a relatively short peri
adoptednew ways ofgetting their news,doing theirshopping and seeking entertainment."
Halfofthe Internet userssurveyed said thata TV set ispresent in the same room as theircomputer.Over90 percentof people with a TV setsitting in the same room where the Internet is used
mostoften said they watched and surfed simultaneously. Twenty-seven percent of adults age 18
to 34"always" or"often" surfthe Net and watch TV at the same time, according to the study.
"With limited hours in a day, consumers seek out ways to maximize the value of their time,"
y exists for broadcast media to choose to off
er more frequent prosaid Cohen. "An opportunit
gramming that makes use of both the online environment as well as their traditional media."
Thestudy also found the reach of streaming media is increasing. Forty-two percentofthe survey'sonhne users had used streaming video oraudio in the past 30 days.
Consumerand media research company Scarborough Research interviewed more than 2,000
Americanadults who had logged on to the Internet in the prior 30 daysforits study.

"Reports claim that the browser will use ag

computing is gathering pace and will beget a market worth US$56 bigion
within five years.
The study by the ARC Group (hiip//wwwarcgroup.ram) forecasts that by
2006, 48 percent of all mobile computing devices shipped will be equipped
with embedded wireless cellular data modems. This trend toward embedded connectivity, the researchers said, will see the creation of a truly
mobilecomputing society.
Mobile computers in the form of personal digital assistants (PDAs) and
handheld PCs (HPCs) have become a rapidly adopted accessory among
businessusers and consumers,and now representa diverse and expanding

you' re ready to move mto some of the more
advancedoptions Excel offers you.

Charing onasmaxes

Oken you'U want to plot very smafi nunibers

against very big one, but this can be fraught
with difficulty simply because the large numbersforce the scale ofth Y axisofyow chart
to be very large. When this happens, ihe
small numbers are squashel fiat against the
X axis and you won't be able to see them.
In particular, you' ll encounter this issue
whenever you plot things like sales data and
percentagedais on the same chait.Because
percentage values are usually less than one,
they'B be invisible on a chart that also shows
sales measured in dollars.
You can overcome this it' you create two
axeson your chart,one forthe large numbers
and one for the small numbers. To do this,
ctaste your chart in tbe usual way as a bar
chart using the Chart Wizard. Once the chart
is complete, select the series that contains the
small numbers, which you' ll plot against the
second axis. To do this, click on the series you
can see (the one with the large numbers)
then use the left and right arrow keys to
move around the various chart objects until
the small number series is selected. Now
choose Format, Selected Data Series, Axis
tab, click the Secondary Axis option button
and dick OK. That's afi there is to it the
small numbers will now appear plotted
against the second axis.
However. you can improve the look of the
chat if you plot this second series in a dg Tercet way to the first one, for eaunple, plot it as
a line if the large numbers are represented by
a bar. To do this. dick the series containing
the small numbem, right-dick, choose Chart
Type,Line,then choose your preferred Chart
sub-type. Make swe the Apply To Selection
checkboxisselected and dick OK.

Induding a picture under a chart lets you
add even more visual interest most especiagy if you find an image that suits the
chart'
s purpose.Excelgivesyou the choice of

adding the image directly under the plot area

(which is the area covered by the chart) or
you can add it under the Chart area (which
mdudes the chart, titles, and legend).
To do this you' ll need an image on hard
disk you can't use one from the Oflice dip
ari. Unlessyour image is very faint you won' t
be able to see the chart clearly, so first open
the image in your graphics software and
increasethe brightness and decrease the contrast to wash it out. Now save the image, giving it a new lile name so you don'i destroy
the original unage.
Back in Excel, click un the part of your
chart you want to add thc image to. You can
add it to the Chart area or the Plot areayou' ll be able to tind out the area you have
selected if you check its name, which will
appear at the far left of the Formtda bar.
Right-click the area and rhoose Format
Chart Area or Format Plot Area (the menu
option will depend on the area you have
selected). Now choose Fill Effects, Picture
tab, Select Picture, then locate and select your
picture file. Click OK three times to finish.
Your image will now appear under the selected area of your chart.

in ad)scent columns, you can still chari it
usingthe Chart Wizard. However, before you
click the Chart Wimrd button you must
seleci afi the data you want to use. Do this bi
holding, the Control key as you select each
series in turn.
If your data is scattered across a number of
sheets or even multiple files, you'B find it easier to chart if you first extracx the data mto a
smgle worksheet and chart it from there. To
do this,use references to the cefi
s thatcontain the data (not the figures themselves).
This way, if the original figures change, the
chart will too. To extract 4 figure t'rom one
cell and place it in another cefi on the same
worksheet use this type of reference =524.
This places the value from cefi S24 into the
current cell. If the value in S24 later changes,
the value in the cell containmg the formula

will change too.

If the data is on another worksheet but still
in the same file, you can use this type of referencei =5heetzt524. This indicates that Sheet2
is the worksheet name nd S24 is th cefi that
rontains the figure you want to use in your
chart. Finally, if the values you need are in
another spreadsheet Qe, use this type of formula:
='C:(MyDocuments)fresh(budgets(s)5heet1i'55524
This copies the figure &om cell S24 in

Probably the most fun tool Excel has for
working with charts is its picture chart
option. Few peopleknow it exists, so you can
unpress your coworkers by showing them
how to do it. What it does is to replace the
bars of a regular chart with pictures.
Beforeyou begbt,prepare the images you
want to use. They must be saved as files on
your hard drive (you can't use clip art
images). If you want to use the same image
for each bar, try creating multiple versions of
the image but changbtg the colow in each
one. Save each version of the image in its
own file.
Return to Excel and create a bar chart for
your data in the usual way. Click one of the
bars to select the series, right-click it, choose
Format Data Series, Fill Effects, dick the
Picture tab, dick Select Picture, choose the
image you want to use, and click OK three

Here's an overview of how email is delivered
on a stock Red Hat Linux system, using
fetdunail as the forwarder.

1. Fetchmail retrievesmail from one or more

ISP POP or IMAP servers.
2. Fetchmail forwards mail to your MTA
(mail transfer agent). In the case of standard, unmodi6ed Red Hat, this is the

sendmail program.
3. Sendmail does the initial processing,
invoking any system-wide rules you have
set, then bands the mail over to your LDA
(local delivery agent) pmgram. This program, on Red Hat systems, is procmaiL
4. Procmail checks the .procmailrc file in
your home directory for any specialprocessing "reri pe." If .Procmafirc does not
exist, mail is delivered direaly to your system inbox queue /var/spool/mail/loginname.
S. If .procmailrc is present, procmail 6lters

All procmail recipes begin with a colon (:)

followed by a zero (0). The second colon following the zero is a lock6le instruction that
tells procmail to use file locking a good
idea when you antiripate a lot of rapid delivery such as you might expect &om an active
mailing list. If you wish, you can specil'y a
name for the lock6le.
The second line is a condition. Reripe lines
that begin with an asterisk (') are sent to a
regularexpression processor.The "TO is a
procmail regular expression macro that
expands to patterns for To, Cc, Bcc, XEnvelope. Original-. Resent-, and even
Apparently(-Resent)-To: conditions, which
should catch all destination speci6cations
containing a speci6c word. That's some
macro!
The third line is an action line. By default.
the action is to deliver mail to a particular
mailbox fiie. By simply specifying the file
redhatlist,you can now pick up all your Red Hat
list postings by switching to tbe redhstlst mail
folder. They no longer dutter your inbox.

messages from Rick about guitars to Glen

There is another useful mail utiTity on Unux

systems called formail (mail formaaer) that
can be used in conjunction with procmail.
For recipes that require advanced processing,
calls to formail can add, delete, split. and
rewrite parts of the message, induding the
headers.
For example, let's say you subscribe to the
digest version of a maiTing list on cbooks. You

This recipe demonstrates that you can
have more than one condition line (conditions are ANDed together). To process more
than a single action, you can nest additional
recipes within braces. This example uses the

continue processing the nmn reripe after
mailing a copy of the message to Glen. The

A pie chart is a special type of chart. It's usually circular (hence its name) and each piece
of data it contains is plotted as a slice or
wedge of the pie. Pic charts are used to plot
one data series and show how individual
parts contribute to the total, For example, a
pie chart of a business's expenses may show
what percentage of the total businessexpenses each category (rent, phone, travel, etc.,)
contributes.
Not only are pie charts limited to showing
only one data series, they have, until now,
been of limited usc when you have a lot of
very small values plotted with some very
large ones. The large numbers create large pic
slices and are easy to read but the small ones
can become so jammed together ibat they are
almost impossible to see.
Excel's new Pie of a Pie chart and its Bar of
a Pic chert let you collect these smaller values into a single pie slice, then to break them

Beld is frequently
not Riled in the
Authors table.
The
second
anribute or rule is
that every relational table has a primary keythat is,
one or more Selds
that uniquely idenuges a row in the
table. Again in Fig.
1, AulD has a dis-

to other tablesthat havesomerelationship to

the Authors table.
Fnudly, every geld m a table s hnked vnth
or associated with the primary key. These
threerulesarecalled NormalForm forarelational table. By observing these rules in
desi(pung tables, users will guarantee that
new rows can be inserted, and the table can
be searched, updated, and speciac mws
deleted without error.
So, let ussummarize. Databasesare collections of data organized into tables. In VB,
those tables are re)ational in desigs, which
means they have unique Beld or column
names. Each row or recordset has zero (or
null) or one value for each geld and all of
those Raids are linked to a distinct primary
key Beld that must benon-nulL
These and a few other simple rules build
up all tbe power of SQL. Again, seeFig. 1 for

a sample of a SQL statement.Shd ' fromtides,

Database

object beyond tables are system tables. These

used to query the databaseand help produce

the output in the Titles table.
SQL can become quite complex but we

eNabaso ohfocrs
VB has long recognized the many objects
contained in a dabase. DAO (Database
Acne Objects) saysit. not only in its name,
but also in the access it provides to other
databaseobjects beyond tables.
Perhaps the most important database
are predegned tables that define and
describe all the other database objects. It' s
one of the relational databaseattributes. The
same type of tables, database objsts and
accessmethods are used to manage thedatabaseitseK So thesystem tables,becausethey

is a databaseview (see Fig. 2). Think of views
as simply diiferent takes or snapshots of
existing tables. Visas either regne a table by
showing some subset of columns and/or
rows or they combine two or more tables
into a single snapshot.
The achrantage is that for security and/or
ease of use, userscan be given accessto the
view rather than the underlying table(s).

Many programmers would argue that the
most important database object is the stored
pmcedure. In 65ct, many databaw vendors
create the views asstored procedures.

Think of a stored procedure asspecialized

program that helps to access, maintain,
and/or conuol the database. Most vendors

But many datalwse vendors mpport more

In our next tutorial, we' ll look at some of

the database tools provided with VB for

database objects as weU. Readers will find

There are many otherdatabase objects
provided in relational datalhlsan such as
domains, scbemas, and triggers among others. Many are being standardized by ANSI
with the latest SQL l999 standard. But for
our purposes the most critical among tbe
remaining database objects is the index.
indexes are used for one purpose to speed
accessinto a database table. And they certainly do that, improving accessspeeds by a factor o( IO to as much as I,000. But for the
fasteraccessusersmust pay a threefold price:
Creating indexes can take significant
space, sometimes equal to the size of the
table itself.
The time to create an index can be quite

high aswell.
Most importantly, once created, maintaining indexes can add signi6cantly to the
time for updating tables.
Forthislastreason, indexes are often created by the database system on demand the

Whenyou'mresizing an element in a PowerPoint
presentation, use its comer handles. PowerPoint

its side handles instead. To size mare than one
element while mtaining the same s'ue ratio,
dick the Urst element to select it, hold the Shift

key and dick the otherelements in turn.Now,

when you adjust them, their relative sizes wiU
remain intact.

Ifyou have an image in PowerPoint that is facing the wrang way, you can igp it.You can do
this with most WMFClip Art images (if you hold
your mouseaver the image in the CUPGaUery, it
will tell if your selection is a WMF file). To flip

theimage,selectit,then choose Ungroup fern

On display at a showcase in late May was
Sanyo'sSCP-5000, aWeb-enabled CDMA cel-

thmugh. This can be done with many of

PowerPoinfs WMF dip art images. Add the

image,select it, then fern the Draw menu

Ifyou want to add visualinterestto a slide,consider curving text around an image using
WordArt. Cimose Insert, Picture, WordArt, select
a style,dick OK,type in your text,and dick DK
again.To alterthe curve of your text, dick the

can "push textfurther around the curve (so it

mmmple) hy dicking the Free Rotate Button,
then mtatingthe textinto position.Use the sizing handles to alterthe shape ofthe curve to
fitthe object it sunounds.

You can add interest to your slides using Picture
bullets in piae of Um regular text bullets. To
do this,select the be(lated text and choose
Format, then Bullet. From the dialogue dick

displayedlist.If you have a custom buUet you
wept to use
for example one teated from a
portion of your company logo-add it to the
Picture Outlets collection by choosing Format,

Locate the image on the disk and choose
Importto add it to the collection. Next time

One major remaining obstacle is wireless

lular phone featuring a built-in high resolution colour-LCD screen that offers much

more satisfactory display of emagandWeb

pagesthan any cell phone we've seen. The
two-inch colour screen is a big advance over
the tiny, low-resolution monochrome

scream of mostemail-capable cdl phones.

Also on display was an amaring)y light
and thin SCP-6000 mg phone, a super-thin,

The two major tmh innovations embodimj

ultralight phonewith a monochrome display.

The SCP is the Urst product to use the new
Lithium Polymer battery technology, which
drastically reduces bauery weight, which is
the main part of a ceBphone's weight.
Tbe SCP-5000 will be avaihk)e in July,and
the SCP-6000 will ship later in 2001. While
no pricehas been set, both models are
expected to be in the 5600 to 5500 range.

According to Keiji Oshima, president of

Sanyo Canada, "Our relationship with Tdus
Mobility is a major drivhtg force in creating
ezdting newportable communications products. The new phones Sanyo and Telus
MobiTity are announdng today make it easier
than ever to access portable email and

internet services. Wesee people wanting the

Web in their pocket and both these new prod-

ice. Until the so-caged 3G services meestablished in the next couple of years, full Web
browsing isapt to be a slow process.
However, in the never-ending battle bycell
phonemakers forthebragging rightsthatgo
with og'ering thesexy gmlget du jour, Sanyo
appears to beahearL for the moment.
As Wade Ooserman, a VP at Tdus MobiTity

put it, "The fug-colour screen and elegant

design of theSCP-5000 issure to make it a hit
with our dients right across the country. As
well, the SCP-6000 is an amazing little phone,
as easy to carry as a pocket calculator yet still

featming ag the network services and useability of much larger phones. We' re very
proudto betheexdusiveCanadiancarrierof
