"I thinkthere's lots of discussion out therefor word-of-mouth and buzz marketing," Forrester analyst Eric Scheirer said, "bul to me it's more about controging it and managing it. There's really much more you can do." Marketers should spend more of their Web dollar on accelemting word-of-mouth, "viral marketor in the industry parlance, ing." They should be fostering online discussionand hastening the consumers'buying cycle, the report said. "Traditional word of mouth is sluggish and limited to the number of people each individual knows," said Scheirer. "But a single Internet post has the potenti al to instantl y reach thousands of people worldwide who can respond online in addition to telling their friends." Studios should centralize core fan groups to engage more directly with the audience, Fonester said. "Build a special part of the movie's Web site that contains reviews, discussion, merchandise, and invite-a-friend promotion," according to the report. Even naming highly motivated, core fans as ambassadors to generate Web buzz wouldwork betterthan,say,Web sitespromoting specific movies that Forrester believes lack the information needed to generate buzz.

The Fortissimo II is the newest audio ca I' rom Guinemot, and itbreaks away from the standard design of most audio cards—i.e., a bracket with a bunch of I/8inch audio jacks on the back Instead, the Fortissimo II indudes only one I/8-inch plug (for line in), and fe tures optical SPDIF input and output jacks, for connection to digital-enabled audio devices like a MiniDisc. It alsoa has DIN jack into which you can plug a sp dal cable featuring the standard I/8-inch plugs for speakers and micmphone input etc. There's also a game port for use w joysti«ks or MIDI devices. The short of it: if you don't want hook up the analogue connections, you can just use the optical jacks and have much more elegant solution. The card is built around Cirrus Logic' 20-bit SoundFusion CS4624, and the Sensaura 3D Positional Addio is compatible with a number of audio formats including Microsoft's DirectSound 3D, Creative's EAX (environmental audio), and A3D, as weu as Dolby Surround Dolby Digital, and Dolby DTS. The card can handle 18-bit dual-stereo input and sampling rates up to 48 kHz. The Fortissimo II is compatible with Windows 95,98,Me, and 2000. Bundled software includes Game Commander SE, Storm Hercules SE Home Studio, MusicMatch Jukebox, Sonic Foundry tools, Yamaha utiTities. Koolkaraoke Lite, Hercules MediaStation, and Cyberlink's PowerDVD player.

Simplywireless A wireless network, such as an 802.11 setup, is similar to the RJ-45 based network. Instead of a hub, however, this type of wireless network uses what is called an access point. Each computer on the network uses a special network card that communicates to the access point using radio frequency (RF) signals instead of cabling. The main feature of a wireless network is, of course, no wires, which offers several advantages for a home or small office environment. It eliminates the need to install cabling, which can be costly. The computers can be located anywhere within the range of the receiver, which is typicaUy 100 m (328 ft.) indoors, and they can easily be moved without the need to rearrange cables. No cables also means less clutter. Some manufacturers have combined the wireless access point with an internet gateway, so a single Internet connection can be shared by all the computers on the network. (See "Wireless LANs wide open" in this issue tofind ou) about Iecuyi(y issues rela(-

ed to wireless Networking.— Ed. )

Network sollware Ifyou use Windows 98,Me, or 2000, creating a peer-to- jeer network is relatively straightforward. While we can't describe all of the variables here. there are a couple of steps that are essential to making sure all of your connected computers belong to the same workgroup (found in the "identification" panel of network properties in Windows 98, for example) and that the appropriate network protocols are linked to your NICs (for peer networks, this may require both NetgEUI and TCPlIP configuration). As well, if you want to run a Mac on the same local area network (LAN) as systems using Windows, you may need to purchase additional software, such as PC
