For the latest in spy chic, check ou t Casio's Wrist C amera. A t nest glance, it r esemb l e s nothing more than a slightly oversize wristwatch, but the t op o f th e watch has a tiny lens capable of capturing black and white photos at a resolution of 120x120 pixels. The watch itself will hold up to 100 such pictures, and when you' re ready to transfer them to your PC, you use th infrared sensor and the infrared PC Link Kit, which connects to your PC via seria «able, and is compatible with Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0. While the pictures are a bit grainy, th camera wasn't designed for ultra-professional quality. Instead, it's designed for a bit of fun, or for taking a quick snapsh of something to help you remember a face, an intersection, or what have you.

The software, now at Version 6, includes utilities for scanner control, optical character recognition (OCRh and synchronization with contact management software and hardware, along with the main contact management application. Why would you want a colour scanner just to extract contact information from a businesscard? The answer becomes evident when you start using the contact manager, which is designed to look like a Rolodex-type rotary card holder. During the scanning, the text information is OCRed and placed into the appropriate 6elds. A bitmap image of the card is also saved, and the card image, along with the extracted text information are presented together onscreen. You see the contact as a listing in the database, along with the image of the actual business card in — full colour, if

you wish.

you expect,yet we focus on providing personalized customer care.

1 888 277 0000

As you move from field to 6eld, the portion of the card that the information read fmm is centred in the image window — very helpful for proofing. How well does it work? We used 30 business cards for our test database. The entire operation of scanning. OCR, and veri6cation of data took about 40 minutes.

The big caveat, though: at the time writing, Intel considers the Via P4X266 be an infringement of its patents and launched legal action. Depending on th outcome of the suits. you may or may be able to flnd motherboards with th «hipset. The first boards for the Pentium shipped with Intel's own 850 chipse These motherboards featured a front-sid bus of 400 MH z( 100 MH z quadpumped), and the data flow rate betwe the processor and the RDRAM, throug the memory controller hub, was balance at 3.2 GBps, for elflcient throughput. T 850 continues to be a viable chipset Pentium 4 boards, but it does require use of RDRAM. The newly introduced 845 chipse accepts memory of the older SDRAM standard. This unbalances the data tran fer inside, with a flow of 3.2 GBps between the processor and the memor controller hub, and only 1.06 GBp between the memory controller hub an PC133 SDRAM. The advantage, though, is being able use a much cheaper form of memory. (When we were writing up this article 256 MB stick of PC133 SDRAM was h ering around the $50 mark, and DD SDRAM was $80. The same amount RDRAM was still about $180.) Here's summnryi
