Web technology comes some potential solutions as well. One of the trendy concepts these days ispersonalization. The flrst expression of this was when Web sites began offering visitors the opportunity to modify the opening page to suit their speci6c interests. So, using some "my homepage" functions, you could tailor the page to show more sports, only the stock news you care about, and the local weather. Today, you can receive email newsletters customized to suit your interests. But of course, when these are tied to the host's revenue objectives, the more you reveal about the subjects that interest you, the more tightly marketers can focus their pitches on your hot spots. But there is another side to personalization that isn't speci6cafly tied to an ecommerce agenda.It's the way we sort,compile and store the information as a matter of course these days. This includes bookmarking useful Web sites in our Favourites folder, printing out Web

Even There are big issues to deal with here, copycan readers make their own judgements about what content is important, they can publish personal volumes that reflect their tastes, priorities and interests. And the Web reduces the costs of both publishing and distribution to just a fraction of what it costs to print and distribute a glossy full-colour magazine. The obvious consequence of this is that the alternative press flourishes on the Web. Anyone with a passion and a point of view can start an online publication.

MP3 digital watermark debuts MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.— Cognicity (htipy/cognioiy .corn) has taken the wraps offa user-transparent digital watermark system for MP3 files. The AudioKey tMark system has been developed to embed unique watermarks into digital audio files in real-time —as the file is being downloadedthe firm said. Cognici ty said the tMark system'sunique featureis that the identity of the consumer making

If the file is uploaded or transferred to other users,the unique watermark clearly identifies the MP3 file's origins, but without preventing the file from playing in the existing wide range of MP3 mobile players or MP3 PCplaying software. Thefinn said content owners need the transactional watermark soWtion to fingerprint MP3

Your editorial oArt and Technology" (see Letter from the editor, May 2000 issue) touched on a topic that is finally gening some anention: the issue of permanence in inkjet printing. As a photographer who has spent thousands of hours in a darkroom breathing in fumes from the chemistry, I was quite happy to make the switch to Photoshop and my Epson printer. However,for this approach to be viable for photographers producing personal artwork, we need archival quality. It was heartening to see at least two exhibitors at a recent new media trade show demonstrating

archival inksand papers. I hope TCP will cover the state of the archival art in a future issue. I think there is a lot of interest in this area. Gerard Gotzman (3 wwwcanadacompulascom THE COMPUTERPAPER BC EDITION JULY zunu I I

Problems associated with long spells at the computer remain a major health hazard despite years of expert warnings Ry Ross IRocSontdd visit to just about any computer retailer shows evidence that ergonomic issues ave become a major part of product design. Keyboards bend in all manner of directions, mice undulate in infinite variety while monitors and LCD panels tout the latest in eye-massaging pixel production and anti-glare coatings. Add to that the racks of ropy holders, mouse arenas, wrist rests and monitor stands and we begin to suspect there might be something to this thing called ergonomics —particularly in relation to our computers —and that it's an issue we should more seriously consider while tapping and clicking away. Ergonomics, in simplest terms, is the study of the relationship between the worker and the workplace. It is the science of fitting the workplaceto the worker, which has become a spe-

rialixed field as workers are exposed to many situations that can potentially lead to injury.

What do wo hoots about osgonomltny Meera Manahan managesthe Human Factors Lab, an internal consulting firm operated by Compaq Computer Corp. to test the eificiency, comfort and useability of both hardware and software before it is released onto the market. "There are various ergonomic consortia that are a part of academicinstitutions, like the VDT Health Foundation at Johns Hopkins University and t h e O f fice Ergonomics Research Committee, which a number of companies, including Compaq, support. These organizations assessthe factors leading to disorders and we, along with the other supporting companies, rely on their research when designing our products." But Manahan notes that, despite many years of research into ergonomics and the various associateddisorders, their causes and sources have yet to be positively determined: "There are several factors and combinations of factors that contribute to things like repetitive-stress

disorders for different individuals, so I think it would be incorrect to say, at this point, that we know the exact causes."

Wosh con htsat yo While research may not have been able to pinpoint the exact causes, we are afi familiar with the high risk situations and the consequences of working in them. "Fatigue of the musculature is oF particular concern because it can lead to joint immobility or impmper joint movement," says jody Anderson, a New York-trained chiropractor, and vice-president of research and ergonomics for Microsphere, a maker of ergonomic workstations. "Ultimately that can lead to certain pathologies or conditions, one of the most prevalent being the repetitive-stress injuries [RSlsj like carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist

area." Wrist problems are prevalent, largely because of the relationship between the body and the keyboard. The head, neck and shoulders can also b» affected, which manifest as either simple discomfort or unexplained headaches. "Problems in the head, neck and shoulder area result from a combination of factors," Anderson explains, "the most infiuential of which are improper seating position and an improper positioning of the computer screen." Peter Goyert is an ergonomist at the Workers Compensation Board, a position rooted in his training as a physiotherapist. He feels that ergonomics considerations have become more salient because computers are now so fast and can do so much, people tend to work at them for longer periods of time while sitting in a static position. "Peoplearen't doing as many different tasks as they on«e were," he says. "Like, with a typewriter, you used to have to roll the paper through, set up carbon paper, type the letter... that sort of thing, whereas with a computer you' re basically sitting afi day looking at the

l8 JULY 2000 THE COMPUTER PAPER BC EDITION www csnadscomaolescom

screen and doing a lot of high repetition tasks." Goyert says the injuries these days include tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis and shoulder problems. In short, be says. "a wide variety of what we call activity-related soft tissue disorders IASTD for short)—or muscular-skeletal disorders, or work-related muscular-skeletal disorders, or repetitive strain injuries, or symptive traumas, or repetitive motion injuries, or overuse syndromethere's all sorts of names for these problems, but they essentially address the same things." Repetition, awkward posture, static loading and forceful exertion are the risk factors associated with those problems, says Goyert. "It doesn't really mauer whether you' re sitting at a computer or whether you' re turning boards on a grading table or you' re a cashier checking out groceries, the risk factors are essentially the same." These injuries don't just appear overnighn There are warning signs and symptoms, including aches and pains, tingling, and headaches. Goyert says people tend to ignore these, which can lead to problems progressing to the point of becoming a genuine incapacity. "You want to watch out for any signs and symptoms,"he says."Maybe a pain somewhere or swelling in the hands, or something that you'd want to get checked out to try and avoid the development of a chronic problem." In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has addressed the issue of ergonomics by passing new workplace regulations."It's such a serious issue, " Anderson says,"that corporations are now mandated to increase their standard of workstations to comply with new ergonomic rules and regulations." A company can now be held liable for an injury and potentially lose its insurance if it does not upgrade the workplace environment to comply with the OSHA requirements. The problem, however, is that no single standard has been determined. A further problem is that nothing like the OSHA initiative has yet been undertaken in Canada. "Trends are moving toward such regulation in this country," says Anderson, "but nothing has b«en done at thts pomt.

This may seem somewhat curious because, according t o t h e 1 99 8 B .C. W orkers' Compensation Board annual report, of 3,3 I9,300 claims in that province, 32, I05 were from strains resulting from repetitive stress and 71,760 daims were specifically dassified as ergonomic injuries. Add the fact that over 128 million computers were in use in North America in l999 — compounded by an annual market growth rateof 28 percent— and you don't need a calculator to add up the vast potential for both injury and the subsequent costs.

Bstk R doesn't have so hors yo One of the most frustrating aspects of the whole issue, as far as Anderson is concerned, is that disorders related to poor ergonomics represent the largest group of preventable jobrelated injuries because there are so many simple ways to accommodate safe and comfort-

able compuung.

So, what you have to do is getsome restfrom that constantrepetition. — Peter fsoyert, jjjfCB Like Anderson, Goyert stresses the layout of the computer workstation as a prime consideration in avoiding ergonomic problems: "You want to make sure your workstation is adjusted properly —have your forearms horizontal to your keyboard, make sure your wrists are straight and not bent upward, making sure the top of your screen is level with your eyes. As well, your lower back should be supported by thechair and your feetsupported by the Boor or a footrest. You also want to make sure you Continued on page 22

Integrating an airport-wide wireless solution wassomethingthe authority decided was best for its customers. "Business passengers have rated the Vancouver airport as the number one airport in terms of the service they get," Maini adds. "And we have had requests about Internet access and questions about what our strategy for wirdess was. So we did an evaluation of some of the technologies available and selected to go with a high-speed wireless because of the advantages it offered."

ghm 802.11b cmmmucffom Wireless Internet connectivity is being enabled through devices that conform to an Ethernet standard known as 802.11b, which supports data transmission rates of up to I I M bps, comparable to standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. A typical setup indudes three components: a network switch or access controller, wireless access points, and wireless 802.lib Ethernet cards. The access points are diskributed throughout the area where network access is required. The access points are connected to a switch, which in turn is connected to services like Internet access. Notebook computers can gain access to the resulting network if they are equipped with wireless 802.lib Ethernet cards. So, the theory is, no matter where passengers are in the airport they should be able to connect to the network and out onto the Internet if they have a compatible 802.11b card installed in their computer. To help install this network, the Vancouver airport worked with Nokia, which contracted Vancouver-based ZooLink Communications Ltd. to integrate and support the network

ports and hotels across North America and Canada "We formed the company to basically solve the problem of connectivity for travelers," says Dirk Heinen, vice-president of marketing for Wayport. In March,Wayport announced an agreement with Marshall Management Inc., a Maryland-based hotel management firm, to provide wireless and wired high speed Internet access at some 15 hotels in six U.S. states. These networks will let hotel guests connect to the Internet and corporate networks at speeds up to 50 times faster than normal dial-up. Wayport has installed wireless networks at four airports across North America, including the Dallas International Airport. Like the Nokia network in Vancouver, the Wayport network allows travelers to connect anywhere in the airport. The network is open to

Recognizing that more people are demanding access to networks wher«ver they are, Bwlington, Ont.-based 3Com Corp. announced that it will begin working more dosely with visitor-based network service providers to integrate 3Com's own set of wireless and network technologies into public areas.

The ergonomics el IT Coorinuerl front page I4 have an anti-glare monitor or eliminate glare at the source." A simple and effective suggestion from Goyert to reduce eye strain is to make sure your monitor isn't set up in front of a window so that your eyes don't have to constantly adjust between the light from outside and the screen. Instead, place your monitor in front of a background that is not the source of a lot of bright light. Also Goyert likes the idea of hav-

ing a ropy holder at the side of the monitor so you don't have to look down to see what you' re typing from. "There's lots of ways to adjust your workstation," Goyert says. "One o( my favourites for adjusting monitor height is to use a telephone book — if it's too high you just slice out a few pages, or if it's too low just add another phone book." He also stresses that properly setting up your workstation is not the whole answer to avoiding ergonomic-related problems. Doing

that functions instead as more of a mitigating inliuence: "IF you' re sitting for eight hours a day doing data entry on a computer, you just can't expect not to have any problems. So, what you have to do is get some rest from that constant repetition. Adjust your work so that every so often — there's no hard and fast rule about time— you get up and move around, change your position." One helpt'ul thing you can do is make sure your printer isn't right next to your computer so that you have to get up and walk down the

hall or across the room to get your printouts. There are also numerous booklets and charts and softwarepackages that show stretches you can do at your desk periodically. "I think they' re great," Goyert says. "But what I Bnd is that people tend to, unfortunately. tack them up on their bulletin boards or put them on the bookshelf orwhatever and never look at them again. Even those programs that pop up on the screen to teU you when it's time to stretch often simply get switched off and

ignored, "The thing to remember is that there's no one thing that's going to do the trick You have to do everything — set up your workstation to ix your awkward posture,reduce the repetif tion and the forceful exertions in your work and take breaks to stretch or move around." Goyert says. Manahan cites Compaq's Comfort artd Safety Guide,a booklet that is shipped with ag of the company's products and is freely available to anyone wishing to receive a copy. She says the information it contains is from the ergonomic research organizations mentioned earlier. and is presented in a simple, easy-to-

follow fashion.

"Our Comfort ond Safety Guide retlects the currentresearch into the ergonomics issue," she explains. "In the past, for example, it was thought there was only one perfect posture; one way to hold tbe body when working at a computer. But I think what our guide shows is that now there's a range of postures that can be appropriate. I think if you' re shopping for a desk or a chair or other components needed for a workstation, it's very important that you can make adjustments and changes to that equipment regularly and easily." There are some very basic concepts that users should be aware of, says Dr. Keith Phillips, who sits o n t h e B .C. Medical

can send information on sales to a customer' s Bluetooth-ready PDA, or someone could dialup to get information about a store location via a Bl u etooth-ready cellular p h one. Bookstores could use Bluetooth to deliver news highlights or book reviews to a variety of different devices. "In the future world, there will be so much activity and applications for the server that we have created, it will boggle the mind," Arnison adds. "Bluetooth — being an unregulated and uncontrolled space, a frequency that does not require licensing — it creates fantastic opportunities for low-cost wireless delivery." Arnison also believes criticisms of the difliculty of networking an area wider than one' s desk with Bluetooth are premature. Because Bluetooth technology is inexpensive, it will not cost companies a lot to Bluetooth-enable devices or to set up Bluetooth access points around an oiBce or public space. "Bluetooth also has a greater acceptance among manufacturesand software vendors,

and the people building silicon," Arnison says. "The cost of manufacturing the appliances is far less."Ci BX JULY 2000 THE COMPUTER PAPER BCEDITION wwwcanadscompvtescom

"Second, the individual sitting at the keyboard should be in good physical shape," Phillips adds. "If they tend to be a very tense individual whose lifestyle doesn't include regular physical activity, the literature is substantial that suggests that type of individual is more likely to develop the syndrome. On the other hand, it's very rare in my experience to come across a patient who does a regular cardiovascular Btness program or some kind of good regular exercise who develops these kinds of disorders."

"And if they can do that in their workplaces that's all the better." In summing up his advice, Phillips essentially recommends that we all keep moving: y We are a very sedentary nation, to the point that suggesting activity is a revolutionary idea to some. But we can't underestimate lifestyle's impact on keeping people healthy and avoiding these kinds of problems. The human organism is meant to be used and we often forget that in our complex technological environment." El

Vopt99 a fast disk defragmenter Ry Chris Melteu 'ndows 95 and 98 come with the DOS program Defrag.exe, which is a subset of the Speed Disk program in Norton Utilities. When I use Windows' Defrag, I click the Details button to see a graphical representation of what is happening. Sometimes Defrag works quickly, moving multiple clusters of data at once. Other times it laboriously moves clusters individually, even if I' ve defragmented very recently! When it does this, defragmenting a partition of only a couple of gigabytes becomes painfully slow.

try it. Here are my observations on using Vopt99 with SVindows 98.

T h e m achine wa s p u t together by Calgarybased Voodao Computers Ltd. for a performance appraisal by TCPs Test Lab.

Voodoo Monsoon From:Rodeo Computer, Tel. 403-264<530.hup//wwwvaadaa.ca Pace.53,799(wool manaai) The 950 MHz processor is one of the new AMD Athlon chips, and is paired up with the Apollo VXI33 chipset with the front-side bus running at 200 MHz. Our test machine came with 256 MB of PCI33 SDRAM. The system ships with a spacious 40.9 GB Maxtor DiamondMax hard drive, which spins up m ' 7200 rpm and makes use of the LIDMA66 interface for faster data transfer.

On the multimedia side, tbe machine !

Value edition, coupled with a set of Cambridge ' Soundworks FPS2000 Digital four-point ~ surround speakers.The system we tested came with a 10x Pioneer DVD, but a iox ' version should bc dropped inta shipping achines as soon as it becomes available. For communication, the M onsoon comes with a 56Kbps Supramax v.90 modem from Diamond. For basic input. the mouse and keyboard are anything but Caii/inuedonga e4S

Installation As CPUs, RAM, and motherboards become fast er,and hard disks bigger,fragmentation of files becomes a greater bottleneck to computer performance. However, many computer users seldom defragment their hard disks. This is probably because they don't understand the benefit s of defragmentation, and becauseeven if they do — it takes so long. I first heard about Vopt99 when reading Scott Mueller's Upgrading und Repairing PCs, Eigh/A Edition. In it , M ucfier says "My favourite for an extremely safe,easy and fast unfragmenting program is the Vopt utility by Golden Bow. In my opinion, no other utility even comes close to thisamazing 550 package." With that kind of recommendation, I had to

Vopt99 is not sold in stores, which is probably why I had never heard of it. You can download a trial version of the program — a ),917 KB self-extracting, compressed file, that is easy to install — from the Golden Bow Web site and use it for 30 days. If you decide to buy it, you purchase a key (registration number) from Golden Bow, which enables you to use the program beyond the trial period.

Saving a picture on the Olympus in uncompressed TIFF format results in a 5.5 MB file. While the image quality is very good, the camera took a long time to process and save the image. The Olympus has a few limitations. First, the capacity of the memory card that ships with the unit is 8 MB, so you can take just one uncompressed image (and a few compressed ones)before you have to unload the card.This is an easy problem to solve—just ship a bigger memory card, like the 20 MB card Kodak indudes with its camera. More diffirult to solve is the pokiness of the image processor. After taking a picture using the uncompressed image setting, the camera's busy light flashed for 30 seconds before it was ready to take another picture. The highestquality compressed setting (least amount of compression) still produces images of good quality, with just minor delays between shots, so this will be a non-issue for those not interested in saving images in uncompressed format. This model will serve the point-and-shoot crowd very well, but it also gives the more serious photographer the ability to control many exposure settings.

era, and inspected the images at high magnification (1,000x). When you blow up a pirture thatmuch, you can compare a common feature &om both images, pixel by pixel. In every case, we could see differences between a compressed and an uncompressed image, but those differences did not automatically mean that the compressed image always looked inferior. When printed snapshot size on a photo-quality inkjet (we used the Lexmark Ietprinter 5770 for our tests), the differences were not noticeable in many cases. Even when printed at larger sizes, the images were quite impressive. However. some compression artefacts along edge details are noticeable.

Both these cameras allow you to save imagesas uncompressed TIFFs. We see the ability to store in uncompressed format as a desirable feature, although not everyone will care about it. So. what's the big deal about uncompressed images? Image fi les can be huge.Each uncompressed image from the Kodak DC-290 takes up 6 MB; Olympus's uncompressed image files take up 5.5 MB each. Because storage cards are very expensive (currently about $100 for a 16 MB card), image compression is one of technologies camera makers use so they can sella camera at a reasonable cost that will hold more than just a couple of digital images. Most digital camera makers have used )PEG compression to reduce the fi(es to a manageable size. The reduction in file sizes issignificant. For example, the fi)e size f or the Kodak DC-290 goes from 6 M B uncompressed to 500KB or less depending on

(CF II mrds are the same length and width as the original CompactFlash format. but are only half as thick) We were not, unfortunately, able to test them in the cameras reviewed above, because neither camera has a CF II slot. The Kodak uses a Type I CF slot, while the Camedia usesa SmartMedia card. Sixteen megabyte cards in both CF and SmartMedia formats currently cost between $100 and 5120, while 64 MB cards cost are $350 to $400. The 160 MB CF II memory card has a suggested retail price of

representative. while IBM's 340 MB microdrive sells for US5450. IBM expects to bump the capacity of the microdrive to I GB by the end of this year. Doing some rough math, a 160 MB CF II card could hold 25 or more uncompressed images from either camera, had they a slot to accommodate it, and anywhere fiom a few hundred to several hundred compressed images. The microdrive would store more than 50 uncompressed images. We have been using both CF II storage devices with a Canon powerShot Pro70, one of the few digital cameras with a CF II slot (in fact the Canon has one CF 11slot and one standard CF slot). With the Canon's high capacity battery, it is a pleasure to be able to shoot 50 or 60 pictures during an afternoon without having to worry about finding a computer to download images &om a full memory card, or running out of battery power.

Mansaon Dhmvsa 950 MWR storm Continuedfrom page 38 basic. The system ships with Logitech's Cordless Desktop I-Touch package, which communicates with the receiver unit via radio &equen«y, allowing you to use both mouse and keyboard &om across the room without wires getting in the way.

On thesoftware side,the Monsoon comes with Windows 98 Second Edition, as weg as the Microsoft Plus Pack For protection of data, M«Afee's Virus Scan is also included. For those who want to take full advantage of the system's multimedia abilities, the machine also comes with a software DVD player for watching movies. We benchmarked th e m achine using BAPCo's Sysmarkgg test suite, a nd t h e M onsoonachieved an overallSysmark 9$ rating of 357 (oifice pmductivity was 342, and content

creation, 379), which blows well past any previous machine we've had a chance to bendunark You can certainly see the difference in software

DVD playback, which tends to be abit jerky and pixdlated on slower madunes. The Monsoon handled playback admirably, with excellent picture qualily throughout. The $3,799 price tag doesn't include a monitor, though you can certainly add one to the

Monsoon package (ours shipped with a Samsung SyncMaster 753 DynaRat monitor, whichadds another $349 to the package price).

For what you get, though, the high cost B justifiable. The Monsoon delivers top-notch

performance, and gives us a pretty good idea of whatkind of performance we can expect when we break the I GHz banier.

cates physical sensation to match what's happening on screen.While force feedback was immediately adopted by garners (s teering wheels that let you "fe«i" the bumps in the road, or joysticks that recoil when shooting), the technology is slowly being adapted to standard productivity applications too, so that we can feel when the pointer is over an icon or hot SPot.

"Logitech is currently putting a very strong emphasis on cordlessness,"says Brian Ritchie, a representative for this major manufacturer of

m ice, trackbaBs,keyboards and gaming paraphernaliL "We feel that the fewer wires you have on your desk the better, and radio input

[Log)tech's wireless devices operate using a radio &equency, or RF, signal] devices like keyboards, trackbass and mice certainly help to

keepthework area dear."Apparently,thepublic likesthe idea of wirelessdevices too. "If you look at cordless in general and the reason there's such a wide variety of cordless products, it's simply because people want them. That'sevident both by sales and the feedback coming in to the industry," he sa)aL Mice come in various shapes and colours to appealto a bmad range of tastes. TrackbaBs ofFer even more variety: button and ball placement aswell as body shape can create com-

pletely dU'ferent computing experiences.I use a large-balled Logitech Trackman Marble FX in which the ball is controlled by my index Sager and the buttons pressed by thumb and ring finger. Things get a bit confusing when I visit a

friend who uses asmall-balled trackbaB controlled by the thumb with the buuons falling

In thecaseof large versus small trackbags, larger. heavier balls are easier to manipulate because they have greater suri'ace area anc momentum.

industry analystsonce predirxed. A good quality 17-inch CRT monitor with a three-year warranty can be purchased for a street price of less than $400, while active matrix TFI' monitors have yet to fall below $1,400. and some exceed $2,000.Three excellent CRT monitors can bepurchased for the price ofone excdlent LCD. This explains some of the weak demand. The manufactwing process also contributes to the higher cost of flat-panel displays. The difficult business of aligning more than two million microscopic liquid crystal andtransistor cells correctly results in a portion of units not meeting specifications. Monitors that do not meet strict quality control standards must

be scrapped.If manufacturing processes improve we can expect the yield of good units to increase. This should allow manufacturers to relax prices. Why haven'tpricescome down as expected? We asked representatives from the major manufacturers.

nezd year or two. As de«ision-makers in organizations brome aware of the advantages TFI' flat-panel monitors have over CRT monitors, demand will increase. Manhew Ki, computer produ«ts manager forSamsung Electronics Canada, says demand for flat-panel displays is not great in North America or developing nations —yet. Demand for TFT LCDs in Asia and Ewope currently meets or exceeds supply. Why should manufacturers lower prices for a North American market that is not interested, when they are getting good prices for current production capacity?Ki feels that by 2002 manufacturing output should increase. Manufacturers with major market shares in Europe and Asia will attempt to establish themselves as dominant

made means individual pixels cannot be repaired or replaced, says Phi1p. So, if a customer returns an LCD under warranty with six or more pixels not functioning, the entire unit must be scrapped. This represents a considerable investment, usually over $1,200. The customer must then be given a new unit — a cost borne by the manufacturer. In contrast, a CRT monitor returned under warranty can usually be repaired, and quite often without replacing the actual tube. In the unlikely event the entire CRT has to be scrapped, the manufacturer loses only a fraction of the cost of replacing a competitive flat-

We compared the picture quality as it

appeared from our test platform and (perhaps unfairly) the picture when connected to older video cards. We also looked at features, price,

spe«ifications, dimensions, and howeasyeach monitor was to move around. Obviously not all users are interested in paying for a swivel or detachable base, multilingual on-screen display (OSD), or multimedia options. One thing that became clear during our testing was that when you' re in the market for a flat-panel display, it's important to make sure your video card is up to the job. When we tried some of the evaluation samples on other computers using typical PCI video cards, the results were mixed. Streaking occurred with some units. and other times colours were not as vivid as with the ATI AGP video card. If you' re going to invest thousands of dollars in a monitor, a video «ard upgrade adds only a small amount to the total purchase, but can make for a display that is far superior.

This unit is a sok grey «nlor with the control buttons for the OSD tactfugy hidden out of the way on the bottom lek of the display panel. The FX70 comes with both analogue and digital interfaces, making it ready to go if you switch to a digital graphics card. As this is a multimedia monitor, the base contains speakers from Polk Audio, ported for better bass frequency response. The stereo speakerinput jack is on the rear of the base. The stereoaudio cable also has a subwoofer connector. The display will tilt -5 degrees and +35 degrees, so it can be viewed easily by someone standing above it. Viewing angle information was not available from Hewlett-Packard at press time. Picture quality was generally very good, though some sicker was noted in portions of the test when refresh was set to "optimal." Reducing the refresh rate from 85 Hz to 75 Hz decreasedthe amount of kicker appreciably.

The L5CBS was the only monitor in this month's test that did not require the auto button to be pressed to centre the image on screen. We thought it might be luck, but we tried it twice. Every other unit required a small amount of horizontal positioning adjustment before all tests could be completed. Control buttons are positioned front and centre on the bottom of the screen for guage. One minor quirk, however: if save easy access. and exit is not pressed after invoking the This screen does not tilt downward, but OSD, it will not disappear fmm the screen. tilts +20 degrees.

Viewsonic isone of the brand leaders when it comes to monitors, and the VP151 is a perfect example of why, as it's loaded with features. The base can be adjusted 6.3 crn (2.5 in«hes)for height, and can be removed for wall mounting. The display «an pivot 90 degrees for viewing either in portraitor landscape modes. The disp lay swivels, which allows it t o b e pushed out of the way when setting up a

USB ports, two of which are downstream. On the l«ft side are four audio ports, and at the rear are USB and video ports. Screen tilt is -5 degrees and o 15 dcgrccs. Viewing angle is +80 degrees horizontally and +80 degrees vertically. At certain rcfrcsh rates, the colour gradients were not smooth, but most users would not notice, and it was easily corrected. Otherwise, the picture quality was excellent, and useful features like swivel, tilt, and pivot make this a true multimedia monitor. (Note: Viewsonic also has more basic 15inch LCD monitors that are available for more budget-oriented consumers.)

Editor's choices Apple Sgutge misplay Despite its Tupperware-like appearance it gets the editor's nod. Overall it had the best picture, even when not connected to its favourite video card. There are thousands of ATI Rage users who would welcome this model.

Soeplze Sygge The smallest, lightest, and (in my opinion) bestlooking unit. The picture quality of this monitor was excellent no matter what we connected it to, and the

price is very competitive. Samsung 030P The picture quality of the Samsung screens issuperb. The 570P offers both tilt and pivot for more viewing flexibility, as well as a good sound component. This

is a lot of monitor for the money.CI DaveChappegeworksin TCpsTesttab,and o aho aSupport SpeciafslyslhTicompSystemsCorp inMarkham,Ont He canbereachedat dave chappege@tcp.ca

TheToronto-based research firm pegsthisgrowth on severalfactors, indudtng improved image quality and ease of use, and a continued drop in prices. These trends are particularly true for portable projectors —the growing popularity of which can also be attributed

to their dropping weight. Many companies are now manufacturing projectors that tip the scales at less than 4.5 kg (10 lb.), and in some

pull it oif. The NetWmder is a full-featured Linux server that weighs around I kg (2.2 lb.) and

can serve 100 users. You can think of the NetWinder as a network and Internet appliance, since it is so easy to set up and to work

with. A few minutes of configuration were all I neededbefore I was able to useit on my LAN as an Internet gateway. Some of its other uses, as an email server or firewafi, will of necessity take more eifort snd time, but it is always easy to work with. Rebelcom used to be the hardware division

An example of this is that NetWinder runs the Red Hat Linux distribution, not Corel Linux.

NetWinder's appearance. The NetWinder seriesconsists of rack-mount and compact desktop versions. I tested the latter, a model called the OfliceServer, which has 64 MB of RAM and a 10 GB drive. Like the others in

the series, it has an external power supply, which helps to partially explain its slim dimensions — of 5x24xl 5 c m ( 2 x9.5x6

Walnut, Calif.based ViewSonic Corp. believes both technologies offer benegts to users of portable projectors. The reason LCD has been at the forefront is that the technology has been in the marketlonger and thereby has become accepted among moreusers ofportable projectors. "It is a mature product," says Jeff Klass, directorofsales for advanced products with Vi ewSonic. "DLP technology was introduced around 1995, so it' s about &re years old. People often equate age with colour

uniformity and clarity of image. But it's reaUy up to the

Late last year, Torontobased Epson Canada Ltd. released its own line of portable projectors that can handle a range ofmult imedia material. The l ine i ncludes th e Powerkite710, 700 and 500 models. "You have a set of projectors that can handle a ll th e d i fferent resolutions, video an d P owerPoint," says Stan Klebanoff, national s ales manager with Epson, "Our projectors can h andle a picture within a plcttue, so you can have a video running with the PowerPoint presentation running in the backgmund." The projectors come with built-in speakers, but external ones can be attached for better sound. The PowerLite 500 and 700 deliver up to 800 lumens each, while the 7 10 projects up to 1,000 lumens. The PowerLite 500 offers up to SVGA resolution, and the PowerLite 700 and 710 can deliver native XGA resolution. The most powerful of the trio, the PowerLite

710, weighs just 2.6 kg (5.8 lb.). A distinguishing feature of Epson's line of projectors is their use of a three-LCD projection system. Klebanoff says this system allows for better image quality, colour saturation and brightness compared to DLP-based projectors. "DLP technololi works on a single micromirror device chip that has mirror pixels that

Bell Labs and Compaq. Maddog also has more than 17 years experience with the Unix community, and a personal history that seems to have primed him with the determination to see an opensource operating system done right. Since meeting Linux pioneer Unus Torvalds in 1994, maddog has become a friend of the Torvalds family, and is the godfather to Linus and Tuve's two children. Maddog is cmrently the executive director of Linux International (hxpttnnnli.otgt), the non-prost body that promotes the development of the Linux operating system. Hall lectures and teaches widely on Linux and is also

one of the most proli6c and popular authors of Linux-rel ated books, induding several For Dummiestitles. In mid-May, canadacomputes.corn editor Ieff Evans had the opportunity to interview maddog, who was in Toronto to snead the

LinuxCanada conference and exposition. IEt How did you meet Linus Torvattfs ond get involved in Linux? IMH: I had been involved with the Unix operatingsystem forabout 17 years,and was quite activein Unix user group activities. I was

Equipment Corp.j management to fund L inus to v i sit t h e U.S. and talk about Linux. I met Linus and had my Erst shot at using Linux. I End that using an operating system for the Erst time is a bit like playing a piano. After a bit, you can tell if your instrument is a good one. After I tried Linux I thought, "Hey, this is good!" I discussed the possibility of Linus doing

Linux for Alpha-based computers. Linus said he was very interested but that he was having trouble getting a developer's unit fmm DEC, so he was going to develop Linux for the IBM PowerPC instead. He was doing everything on bis own time, his own old PC at his desk, and he had no money. I contacted DEC, and got bim an Alpha computer right away. So Linux was developed for Alpha, not PowerPC.

contender ep ludo enMrmuneh finally received Cord WordPerfect Ofgce 2000 for Linux. Ihad asked for the Deluxe Edition, but ended up with the Standard Edition. This is due to cutbacks at Cord, no doubt. (This is meant as a joke, obviously, but it is a legitimate reference to the 6nancial

problems Corel continues to suffer). Ctnsg ufordporfosgOfnno 2000 for Litton From:Card Cotp.

In fact, once I found a knife to

cut through the shrinkwrap, opened the package and extracted the CD-ROM, it took no more than six minutes to do the installation. I've been using the software fora w eek,during which time I' ve gone through many of the typical tasks performed with an suite of ofgce applications. I'm continuing to work with

WordPerfect Ofa«e 2000, which will surely lead to additional insights over time, but I already have enough information to write this review. As noted above, WordPerfect Of6ce 2000 for Linux is available in two dif'ferent editions. Both contain the downloadable version of the Corel Linux OS, as well as WordPerfect 9, Quattro Pro 9, Core) Presentations 9 and CorelCentral 9. The Deluxe Edition otrers

more clipart images, fonts and photos, as well as some games, Netscape Communicator and Paradox 9, Corel's relational database. For the relatively modest price difference ($50). I would recommend the Deluxe Edition as the better value, even if you don't think you need a relational database. The minimum system requirements on the software side are Linux Kernel Release 2.2 or higher, and X-Windows.Any recent distribution of Linux should work, although obviously Coral is making it as easy as possible for users to choose its distribution. On the hardware side, Corel specifies a minimum of a 166 MHz Pentium with 32 MB of RAM, but it recommends a 200 MHz Pentium with 64 MB of RAM. For a typi«al installation, 300 MB of disk space is required. Other requirements include a CD-ROM drive, VGA monitor,

You can send people

After logging in as root (the super or master user account that every Linux system has), you run setup from the CD-ROM. As with Windows, there's more than one way to run setup, but the obvious methods work. Trust your instincts, unless you enjoy reading manuals. You wiU be presented with the choice of a complete or minimal setup. A minimal setup will instag the bare minimum of files required to run the applications. Unless you have very little disk space, choose the complete setup, which installs the suite with the most common settings. No con6guration or additional choices are required.

Kaylie says the HDTV compatibility wil l NEC Technologies Inc. also recognizes that become a much sought-after feature once p o rtable projectors will have to offer greater

support and sharper images if they are to keep up with users' demands. In April, NEC announced plans to incorporate its proprietary Vortex Technology in its MultiSync VT lightweight projectors. Vortex Technology is designed to help projectors display CRT-like image quality for greater depth, detail, colour and contrast in the projected images. These image-enhancing features are particnriarly important since models in the MultiSync VT line have a variety of video input options. "It is enhancement technology that works with four different subsets of the image," says Bob Guentner, product marketing manager with NEC's projection group, which is based in Itasca, IU. "The technology will give you better

uniformity of whiteness so we can provide better colour saturation and even bauer colour display so you don't get different shadings. There is also gamma correction that works with LCD panels and the light source to correct for Red and Blue on the screen and improve image detail enhancement. There is also improved colour separation and an expanded grayscale." Currently, Vortex Technology is available in the MultiSync VT440 and the MultiSync VT540 projeeors. The MultiSync VT440 can project up to 110 lumens and is XGA compatible. It accepts NTSC, PAL, SECAM and HDTV video input. The MultiSync VT540 can project up to 1,000 lumens and is SXGA compatible. Q

"The biggest challenge is the shortage of talent," Smith adds.nNot just the skills perspective, but also the right talent from the point of view of the culture of the company. It is not always easy to get the right people who can fit with a company's culture."

Venture pteyers In an effort to overcome some of the money and talent issues, som«venture capital companies have laun«hed their own Internet startups.These fi rms often have a large stake in the companies they start, only spinning them off into independent entities when they have achieved their businesc legs. Toronto-based Exc lamation Inc. (hap//wwwei«!Emailcn.com) acts as an Internet incubator, focusing on developing companies in-house. Companies it has created include bigtree. corn,points.corn and ThinOffice.corn. Bigtree. com, an offi «e supply company, allows small- and mid-sized businesses to search and buy supplies online at volume discount prices. "We have a pool of «apital and a group of strategic partners that help us start each busi-

"As I was looking at all the plans that were coming into Chapters, I realized that many were not very well laid out. They did not know what the issues were or even where to begin describing what it is they wanted to do," lones adds. ln response to this, Jones decided that what was needed was a kind of boot camp where Internet startups could get the skills they needed to suc«essfully approa«h a venture capitalist or investor. In mid-May, Jones hosted just such an event, a two-day camp with a variety of seminars on how someone looking to start an Internet businessshould go about getting the necessary funding. One of the things attendees discovered is that having a business plan is no longer enough to open an investor's wallet. "The business plan describes the company, what they do. what the market is and how they will reach it," Jonessays, nBut a big part of it as well is how to go about getting financing.

Love bug a wake-up call for cyber-terrorism foes Whenthe I LoveYou computervirus hit computersaround the world in May,itcaughtthe attention ofmorethan the corporate IS teams who were left scurlying to fix the damage—it opened the eyes of national security and terrorism experts. ny yem I?ensile o security experts, the love bug was a disturbing glimpse of the damage computer-savvy terrorists and extremists could inflict on the computing systems we depend on daily. The love bug is estimated to have caused millions of dollars in damage to corporate email networks. In some «ases, the virus forced companies to take systems off-line as they struggled to bring the attack under control. In the U.S.. it is reported that some ?4 federal agencies were affected with some «lass(fied systems being harmed. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Network Associates In«. estimates that the bug a(ye«ted80 percent of «omputers in Germany and 70 percent of computers in the Udc

"When you have an event like that, you can't help but ask yourself 'What if a dedicated group of extremists bent on pursuing their cause targeted some very large companies that are dependent on the Internet?'" says lim Comeau, head of the economic a n d in f ormation security u n i t at Ca nadian Security I n telligence Service (CSIS) in O t tawa. " What i f somebody. for political reasons, decides to put out viruses that are targeted at specific types of «omputer systems or types of information? The types of attacks we see are only limited by the imagination." Cyber-terrorism, as it is sometimes called, has been of growing concern for national security departments in

both the U.S. and Canada. Last year. a special Senate Committee on Security and Intelligence heard from CSIS oil?«isis that as Canadian society becomes increasingly dependent on the Internet and computers, the threat to critical systems being

attacked electronically by terrorist groups, organized crime, politically motivated extremists or even Foreign intelligence agencies becomes an increasing possibiTity.

Entry-level shill requhed What worries intelligence experts most about cyber-terrorism is that it does not require a great deal of programming sophistication to carry it out. The Senate committee was told that, "a perpetrator of an inFormation operations attack could be anyone with a computer, a modem connected to a telephone line. and a motive to cause harm." In April, John Gannon. chairman of the U.S. National Integigence Council told the Columbus Council on World A(fairs that cyber attacks against sensitive systems are becoming Continued on page 103

If you were in Vancouver and wanted to place a phone call to Victoria, you'd su(Ter a oneor two-second delay throughout the conversation, depending on t h e volume of network traffic at the time you call.

Unfortunately, international calls over the Internet are even worse. During testing, we tried calls to a few places overseas, and the delay was so severe that our parties always hung up before realizing there was a ctually someone on the line. With t h e currently m i n imal d elays o n s t andard international long-distance calls, the cost becomes the major factor. Are excessive delays really worth the savings? It's important to note that these problems are a product of the hardware itself. The InternetPhoneWizard is an interesting and well-thought-out d evice. I n m a ny w ays, it's simply a product ahead of i t s time, waiting fo r t h e day when there' s enough bandwidth to easily handle phone calls on top of everything else. Admittedly, it's a fun toy in the interim, as long as the person at the other end of the call is willing to put up with the inevitable timing problems. C)

Next, the power cord is connected to the back of the NetWinder, and plugged into an electrical outlet. It has no on/off switch. As the computer begins to boot up, you can set the volume control to a midway position so you can hear the synthesized voice say, "Welcome to NetWinder." That's the signal that you can begin your work. In the ordinary course of events, you won't ever need to power down. I took the induded Qu)ckStart CD-ROM to a computer (any computer will do) on my network and went through the first phase of the

DNS Configuration tabs. After rebooting the computer, you will finish your «onfiguration work in your Web browser. In M icrosoft Internet Explorer, you will go to the Internet Options of the Tools menu, and choose automatically detect settings in the LAN Settings menu. In Netscape, choose Edit, Preferences, Advanced, Proxies, Direct connection to the Internet. That's all you need to do to take care of Web browsing.

The NetWinder is capable of much more, including file and printer sharing, email services, Web site hosting, remote access,and firewall se«urity. The required software is already installed. Although there are easy-touse menus to configure everything, anything involving security on a device that's conne«ted to the Internet needs'to be treated with considerable care and respect. If you already have a good computer with

two Ethernet cards, you can achieve many of the same results with a product like the esmith server tk gateway, reviewed in the April issue of TCP. However, for an integrated hardware and software solution with excel-

configuration. The NetWinder scans the network and suggests an IP address for itself. It also forces you to go through several pages of information. The only way to get to the next stage of the configuration is to page through the documentation. This is done to minimize the chance of impatient users making a mistake. Once the initial, simple configuration is done, you enter the NetWinder's IP address

Thereare numerous easy-to-use menus in Administration Mode. The top-level choices are: Users, Groups, Hosts, System, Services, Network, Options, and Help. To configure the NetWinder for the Internet, begin in Network.The OfficeServer supports the foll owing m ethods o f c o nnecting t o t h e Internet: xDSL modem, cable modem, ISDN router, ISDN Terminal Adapter, and dial-up or permanent modem connection. I decided

to use my cable modem. I connected my modem to the 10Base-T port on the NetWinder, then turned on the modem. In the Network menu Ethernet settings of t h e O ui«kStart u t ility, I c hose Change TheseParameters and entered some of the values supplied by my Internet service provider (ISP). Although the cable companies use DHCP, they always assign the same IP address. I entered that IP address and netmask for the 10Base-T settings. I kept the 10/100Base-T settings as they were, and in the Network Settings area, I entered the values I had been assigned by my ISP for client

I saved these values to activate the changes.Users of Sympatico HSE (High Speed Edition) who occasionally run into compatibility i ssues since t hat s ervice switched over to PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), should n ot e t h a t N e tWinder s upports PPPoE. The documentation recommends that NetWinder be used as a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server. If you choose that option, NetWinder will automatically assign IP addresses to computers on your network. If, like me, you prefer to assign addressesmanually, you can easily turn off the DHCP service. For a workstation on your network to conn ect to OfficeServer, it needs a valid I P address and netmask, and the address of the NetWinder computer. If you choose to do this manually, you will go to Network in Control Panel. After entering the IP address and netmask, you will enter the IP address of the NetWinder device in the Gateway and

Mnhnmttlng hnrthsmsn Tbe basic hardware you need for a home network is a hub, some network interface cards (NICs), and some t wisted-pair Ethernet cables. You need one NIC for each workstation (and possibly two NICs for your server, as we' ll see in the third installment of this home-networking series). Many new Windows and Mac PCs come with a NIC instafied. A couple of

years ago, 10Base-T (10 Mbps) NICs and hubs were standard. Today, the industry is moving towards broad acceptance of 100Base-T (100 Mbps). Most current cards are 10/100 and can work on both types of networks. For a home network, you are unlikely to nmd anything faster than 10Base-T, but if

you' re purchasing a new NIC, you might as weg get 10/100 to allow you to move to a faster network in the future. NICs, for Intel PCs, come in a variety of types and generations. Older PCs require ISA

NICs, while new ones generally use PCI NICs. lf you have acquired an older server, it might

even be EISA based, requiring an EISA NIC. Most portables use PC Card (PCMCIA) network adapters. Before purchasing a NIC, you should check t he h a rdware c o mpatibility g u i d e a t hitp://wnw.redhat,<em/support. Linux supports a broad range of NICs, but some are better supported than others. If you choose a wdl-supported brand and model, it makes integration I' ve used a variety of NICs in Linux boxes and have had good luck with most of them. Intel EtherExpress Pro NICs are a good match for busy servers, but for home machines cards such as those made by D-Unk or SMC (such as the EZ series) work well and are rmsonably

Unless you want to invest in good crimping tools, purchase pre-made lengths of twistedpair Ethernet cables with R)45 connectors already attachetL They come in a variety of pre-made lengths, but you should always get them a little longer than the distance from your PC or Mac to the hub so you have some

International Data Corp. (Canada) Ltd., says many large companies have reported being hacked in the last l2 months, sometimes by people looking for sensitive corporate information. "We did not drill down into specifics, (but) it does point to the fact that there are intru-

sions... that arehappeningand on a fairly large scale," McLean says. ln order to combat this, many companies are now starti ng to develop comprehensive security procedures to protect against attacks &om both the outside and inside.

Aozgtkncguoztl ppoblnns? There is some argument that what makes cyber-terrorism Fossil>le is not simply the

individuals, groups or foreign intelligence agencies bent on doing harm, it's the computing architecture itself, which is inherently vulnerable to attack Austin, Tex.-based, intelligence consulting

Brm, stratfarcom (fnp//ww wSzodurmm/), points out in an analysis on its Web site that the PCs of today were never meant to be connected to other

machinesand the Internet. They were meant to be usedby themsdvesand bya single individuaL so security was never a priority. Once linked, PCs and the networks that saon sprang up amund them, were open to attacks that would be hard to trace and stop. ContriTxuting to this vulnerability is the fact that the underlying archhecture of the system is not transparent to anyone. Even experts can be undear about what exactly is

goingon under the hood. This makesit hard to Bnd ag the holes and breachesthat exist in a network, and dose them down. Terrorists, extremist groups and criminals have now come to understand what many l5-

year-old hackers know tao welL it is surpris-

ingly easy to write a simple program or get into a system and do a lotofdamage because of the way operating systems and networks are constru«ted today. "A teenage kid can knock out hundreds of corporatesystems because the foundation of

modern computing. the operadng system, has been in rapid,forced development since the success of MS-DOS. It was designed for one user who would treat it right... Security requires a complete re-engineering of the operatingsystem," advises Stratfor.corn. As the analysts at Stratfor.corn are quick to emphasize,arogue statedoesno tneed to launch a nudear attack in order to in8ict damage onto

another country. AB it needs to do is launch a wellp)aced virus snd down come thesystems. "But how do we retaliate against a virus attack? We depend on computers. They don' t." (3
