This ultra-portable notebook does thework. It's a real charmer, lightweight andsmall—I kg (2.2 lbs) and just 2.54 an (one inch) thick—and packed with some impressivefeatures. Its standard configuration includes a 12 GB hard drive, l28 MB SDRAM, integrated

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

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 ea«h, respectiveiy. The Poweryad 210 was not shipping at the time of writing,butstay tuned forfurther details on priring.

There am jacks for external microphone and headphones,but the onboard miaophone and speaker provide good quality as it is. The mconier is powered by two standanl AAA batt eries,buthasa jack foran optional power adapter. If you want to transfer yourfilesto the PC,you can use the included USS cable, but if you just need

record/playback functionality, it's got evesything you needonboard. —Sean Cenutkers

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 pi«k 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 pla«e.

ex«ept 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. — Saon Conuthers

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.) —Saon Cone/hers

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. —Seon Co/mthers

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. — EmmTownsend

Instead, the Net will make the experience more like buying from a store.The customer would selectthe CDs,dragand-drop them all together into a purchase 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 captiv 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 appliances—even 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

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.

Croft adds that CheckFree will be releasing a version of its i-Series 4.0 for smaller regional companies.

—rcpstaff ISN $$UNOHnew Wub Uurvkus 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. —Newsbyref

The personal digital assistant-based service, whichhas just started beta tests,is said to be the first wireless navigation system that covers both North America and Europe.

One ofthe most interesting aspects of IbDN Liteis that the connection bebueen the server and the mobile terminal has been designed to be intermittent, with the mobile terminal only interfacing with the Webraska servers when data is interchanged.

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

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

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 one test were asked to choose which image they liked better — a digital one or an analogue Continued on page49

e've looked at and listened to the MonsoonMM-1000 system Previously,so when Sonilistix sent us the newer MM-

2000system we were happy to have alisten. Monsoon MM-2889 Fhtt-Funol Surround Sound Sysfam From:Sonigsiu htip 7/wwwsonilutkccom Price: USS215 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 transdu«ers 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. Continued on page 74

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. we found that for optimum quality using the D-Sub connector, it was necessary to use the auto-adjust feature. otherwise it was blurry

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

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 ea«h. 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.

At the heart of the Mass multi-display is a 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-

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 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-

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. Be«ause 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.

imagin e how much more beatwouldbegen-

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 borizontagy and 768 v«rti«agy cannot achieve a higher resolution without shepicture Calling ofF the edgesof the screen, Coiirinued on page 62

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.

Continuedfrom page 6/ 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

Global handheld market U5$56 billion by 2006, study predicts LONDON.England— A apor treleased in May says the trend towant wireless computing is gathering pace and wiU beget a market worth USS56 billion within five years.

This trend toward embedded couuecti vity, the researcher said,wiU see the cmatton of a truly mobile computing sodety. 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 expanding market, the study claims. Wireless coauecrivity via commerdal cellular phone networks gives users muitimedia mobileWeb access aud enables access to company databases aud records. New pa«ket data technologies being deployed io the ruu-up to thin/ generation (3G), such as GPRSaud 1XRT, will enable mobile computer users to possess always oo. always «onuected access to data aad services, the 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 packagesthat can be enabled hy wireless mobna computers.

The report coududed that next-generation embedded wireless modems, once 3G networks are iu place, wiU drive the natural

progression for mobile computing users, offering maximum portability aud reliability. —Newsbytes

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. i% In fact , many companies entering the Linux market targeted the desktop as one way to get the

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." — New sbytes

Many small businesses do not have the technical expertise on hand or the finandal resources to hire the people needed to integrate Linux into their businesses. 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.

"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, DSI„or any other high-speed connection; and it must meet t h e m i nimum hardware requirements of an x86 or faster computer, 180 MHz or better processor, 64 MB of RAM, two PCI Ethernet cards, and a 10 GB

not alfected by this. Many developers are also looking into doing ports of many common Unix and Linux apps. Apple has a complete listing on its site. BecauseOS X is based on BSD Unix running on PowerPC, this porting generally requires arecompge with a minor tuneup. Of course, if youwant to put the AqtmUI on t op of this it will require more dfort.

In the late 1980s Apple partnead with IBN on projects code-named Pink and Tal igent, which were explor atory attempts at building an objectbased system. In 1993, Apple dabbled with the commercial Unix market by releasing an offshoot pnxiuct called ArNX. short for Apple Unix. And of course. almost everyone is familiar the pre1997 attempts that wea code-named Copland and Gershwin. Apple' s acquiri fi on of Hexxt in Febnmry 1997

This situation can be likened to eying to replace the foundation of a building as you decide to add additional levels to it.

ButBob Cohen, president ofScarborough Research,said the study shows the Internet is much morethan just a new toy.

"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.

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 market, the study claims.

"We' ve made large investments in building our infrastructure," Michael Robertson, MP3.cor n's chairman and chief executive oflicer, said in a statement. "With our new audio hosting services, others can take advantageof our expertise and infrastructure to service their own net audio needs at prices which may save them substantially over existing options." MP3.cornsaid the new service targets businesses who need streaming audio to help sell CDs, provide entertainment or deliver spoken news and corporate conferences.

Click Next to continue. In Step 3 vou can type a chart utle as well as titles for the X and Y axes of the chart. Click Next to continue. In Step 4 determine if you want the chart to be on a sheet by itself or added us an obiect to the current sheet. Chck Fmish to end Once you' ve• rested,i few charts like this, 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.

Sasgtgrtamd pahssess 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.

around a worksheet and isn't neatly )inet( up 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 Sheet( ot the file budget. xls into the current worksheet cell.

Chargag ssslag pldassos 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

by typing msuletchmsg and by studying the material in your /usr/dodfetchmail-(version) directory.)

Prncmnll 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. The nextexample forwards a copy of all messages from Rick about guitars to Glen and keeps a copy locally in a gusarsfolder: ',0 ' " From.'rick ' " 5uhject.'gular

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 would like to have the digest version copied to your Hotmail account but would like a local copy of the digest to be split into individual messagesfor easier reply, and stored in a special folder.

I 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 c tlag in the second recipe to instruct procmailto make a copy of the message and then continue processing the nmn reripe after mailing a copy of the message to Glen. The 6nal recipe instructs pnxmail to deliver the copy to the local gumrsfolder. As with shell scripts, you can use variables within procmail recipes. Here is an example,

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.

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

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

The next most important databaseobject 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 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
