And like the original PC the XT ran at 4.77 NHz (later Turbo-XT clon ran at 8 Mfi z oreven 10 MHz). It did include an

ordered with a 10 MB hard drive. The XT w releasedMar. 8. 1983, while the much more revolutionary AT was released in Aug. 1984. Oespite my quibbling over historical trivia, it was an enjoyable article. Alan Iisman

The article "Happy 20th birthday, IBM PC!" in th Augustissue of fhe ComputerPaper hasa couple of minor errors. The article states the KIM com puter came from Commodore. In fact, it original

ly was developed by chipmaker Mostek,which

was later bought by Commodore. Also, it implie thatthe 8088 could not use 1 MB of RAN, when compared to the 8086. The prindpal difference betweenthe 8088 and 8086 was the width ofthe external databus. The 8088 external data bus is eightbits wide and the 8086 was 16. Beyond thatthere's no funcfi onaldifference between the two.They can both access 1 MB of RAN. Also, the XT like the original PC, came with an 80 CPU.notthe 8086 stated in the article. James Knott

biggest contribution is the Springboard slot. an open-ba«ked area on top of devices in the Visor line th accommodates both hardware and sohware modules. Visors also come audio-ready, with built-in microphones for use with compatible modules (cell phone. voice recorder, etc.). While the Visor Prism is thicker than the Palm m505, it's about the same price ahcr currency conversion (at the time of writing). The Springboard slot also makes the Prism a lot more flexible — it becomes relatively easy

Palm's MMC slot, Springboard modules are shipping already, and the open-backed for-

mat means modules integrate much better with the Visor, as there's not as much hard ware to hang off the edge of the device.

Anyone who has used Palm a or Visor wig have no problem using a Prism. Our bigges

The recently introduced MVC-CD300 is slightly less ambitious. It has no optical viewiiuder an a modest 6x digital zoom supplanting the Mavi CD1000'shuge lens banaL That brings the camera to roughly the same size aud weight as an

-settings, anoptional 3:2 width?to-he!girt ratio at

Um highest pixel width 2,0S8, of coaversioa lens compatib ility,and a three-photo burst mode. The selling point of the Mavica CD is, of course, the 156 MB storage space. The basic concept is good,nat only for the ease oftransfer,but also for storage. Unlike memory cards, moving the file from point A to point 8 isn't an intrinsic par the piacess; you can just label a full CD and it on your shelf. The unfortunate ilaw in the o inal Mavica CD1000 lay in Um immutability of C Rs.You can't delete a set ofbad photos,oreven reclaim the space from a single deleted file Cheapas CD-Rsare,they simply aren't musabie. Sony hasacknowledged this by giving the MavicaC0300 the added ability to read 156 Mg CD-RW discs. Though these rewiitable discs ar roughly twice the price of CD-Rs, they are a s comparedto memory cards.It's also a pleasant surprise that there's ao noticeable write time increase with the rewritable media. In fact, th delayalter pressing the shutter an the Mavica CD300 has abaost been eliminated, making the whole picture-taking process more like shooting with a fika camem. So where' s the catch? The price.At $3,799, you' re saying a premium for the level of c venience the Mavica CD300 offers. (Although mathematically speaking,once you've purchased your third CD-RW, yau'll have broken even com paredto other cameras aud memory options.)

Internet-connected workersin the U.S.are under "continuous" eiectronic surveillance by theiremployers,a new study has found. Some 14 million U5. employees "have their Internet or email use under continuous surveillance at work," according to the survey, released in early July by the Denverbased Privacy Foundation. The low pri ce of monitoring software, coupled with the increasing ubiquity of Internet communication is driving considerable growth in electronic workplace surveillance,study author Andrew Schulman said. "It doesn't cost a lot t o watch your employees and I think that's a big driving fmce in aU this," Schuiman said. This stuff is real feasible.' Ari Schwartz, a policy analyst with the U.S.-based Center for Democracy and Technology(CDT), agreed. It has become much easier for companies to do this kind of monitoring," he said. Schulman said that while the nationwide

downturn in information technology (IT) spendingmight somewhat curb the growth inemployee monitoring, he doesn'texpect monitoring activities to wane significantly unless U5. lawmakers step in to regulate the practice. Schulman who heads up the Pri vacy Foundation's Workplace Surveillance Project contends that his survey presents a more reliable representation of the state of workplace monitoring than have previous studies on thesame topic. Instead of polling employers, as previous studies have done, Schulman said the PrivacyFoundation anived at its Bgures by reviewing the public records of the companiesthat sellmomtoring software. Sincecompannn in many cases kept public records about the sire and demographics of their customer bases, Schulman said he wasable to get a more accurate picture of how many employees are actuaUy being monitored. Schulman said his Iigures were more conservat ive than those produced by previous poll-driven studies, some of which indicated that as many as 75 percent of aU U.S. employers engage in some form of electronic monitoring. last year, legislation was introduced that wouldhave forced employersto disdose the extent of their electronic monitoring efibrts to worker Their biU was pulled off the table at the end of the last congressional session to address concerns raised by some in the businesscommunity.One of the co-authors, Rep.Bob Ban, a Republican from Georgia, hassaid he is consideri ng mintmducing the legislation at some point this year.

"The title of it suggests that one day we are going to stumble onto the perfect solution about privacy, which is not the case," Schwartz said. P3P is not intended to be a privacy panacea, but rather a tool to help consumers, he addeL "The question is, 'does it improve what we have now!' I would say any honest assessM ment would be yes. Schwartz also questioned concerns raised by some in the privacy community that the m&out

of P3P could stall bgislative dgrrts in the US. The most ardent congressonal advocates

of P3P are also some of the biggest supporters of bolstering privacy pmtections,saiL he Advocates of privacy legislation understand that "if P3P going is to work, you need Iawa in place,"Scbwanz said. Tbe ~

who u se P3P as an excuse

not to pass privacy legislation are pmbably thosewho havebeen opposed topassing federal rules Oom the outset, Schwanz said.

Latestversion of genealogy guide ~ U.S.-centric, technically stalled knew Iwas introuble the moment I read the quote from a Prodigy user in the introduction to this book.Prodigy? Wasn't that an online service popular in the pre-Web days? Well, yes, and while there still is a (Web-based) Pmdigy service, that first impression of a somewhat technologi cagy backwardsapproach pmved to be correct. Geneojogy Online also relies heavily on U.s. sources ,so unless a lot of your ancestom wem American, you' re likely to find it's too U.s.-centri c to be of use in yeurresearch.in short,this bookwas a realdisappointment.
