E d i t o r i a l As we prepared our home theatre coverage this month, Ireflected on how differently we view movies today. Ican remember when the only choices were going to atheatre or watching afilm on TV as it aired.

That started to change in the 70s when the first VCRs appeared, the pop¬ ularity of which eventually spawned the video rental industry. The big sell¬ ing points of this playback technology were the convenience of watching J o h n s t o n

TV programs or films when you wanted and having access to flicks that weren’t mainstream enough for along run at the local multiplex. The big downsides included screen cropping to fit TV dimensions, screen

size (mostTVs were 2?-inches or smaller], and audio (built-in speakers for the most part).And if amovie was heavy on special effects, all the worse for home viewing. There have been plenty of improvements since those early days: front-projection systems, better built-in speakers, add-on speaker systems for surround sound, and more video releases in letterbox for¬

mat. In the last few years, however, the pace of improvements has really picked up with new types of television sets influenced by computer display technologies —LCD, plasma, and variants of projection technology, including DLP —and the boom in screen size. And, of course, we can’t forget DVD. The audio and display improvements helped make home viewing of movies more like the theatrical experience, but DVD has finally made it adifferent experience. Because the discs hold so much data, filmmakers started to add interviews with cast members and directors, extra scenes, outtakes, and more —elements you don’t see in atheatrical release that can add to the viewing experience. The downside to these new developments, as Senior Product Review Editor Sean Carruthers, discuss¬

es in his home theatre coverage this month (begins page 12j is price. Alarge-screen LCD TV can set you back $10,000 —the down payment on ahome or price of adecent second hand car. The good news is that affordable options —especially in audio —are starting to appear. And if this category fol¬ lows the trend of other consumer electronics, expect prices to fail dramatically as adoption expands.

“I must admit that Ipicked up the inaugural edition of HUB with some trepidation. It had, after all, just replaced my beloved The Computer Paper... Ifound myself contemplating an interesting dichotomy: as atechnophile, Iam usually an early adopter, never hesitating to try new tools; yet, Ifound myself resisting change in apublication’s format. It didn't take more than afew pages before Iwas absorbed into HUB, just as Ihad been with so many issues of TCP. Idon’t know whether to thank you or curse you for 'The High End: Stuff you want to need.’ It is adream and nightmare all at once. It seems almost a cruel tease to feature cutting-edge toys that are sure to have gadget freaks figuring out how many months they’ll have to eat ramen noodles in order to afford the object of their techno-lust. HUB is change. HUB is good. Iguess change is good.”

Though cordless peripherals have long been available for Macs from other manufacturers, Apple (www.apple.ca) finally joined the tidy desktop revolution, releasing awireless keyboard and m o u s e .

By taking its time, Apple leapfrogged over radio frequency technology (used in the majority of cord¬ less peripherals] and went directly to Bluetooth. This wireless technology gives the peripherals a range of 9m(30 ft.] from aMac with built-in Bluetooth ora Bluetooth adapter, according to Apple. The keyboard and mouse come with adaptive frequency hopping software, which Apple says elimi¬ nates interference with other wireless devices. The keyboard is afull-size with 16 function keys and audio controls, and the mouse can be used in the right or left hand and uses optical technolo¬

gy rather than aball. They require AA batteries (four for the keyboard and two for the mouse] as well as aMac running OS 10.2.6 or later. The Apple Wireless Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are available now for $99 each.

One of the key components of any home theatre setup is agood screen in the middle. After all, what’s the point of setting up aripping sound sys¬ tem if you have atiny 12-inch screen with apic¬ ture that goes funny every time the guy next door opens his garage door? The good news is that the prices of large-screen televisions are within the range of many more households today, so it may be time to consider the options. The three main types of large-screen televisions are rear-projection, plasma, and LCD. Rear-projection models have been around for some time, but the technology inside has improved even while prices have dropped. With

DVD playback, which uses a compression algorithm that occasionally results in blocki-

the inside panel of the screen. As with other pro¬ jection technology, these televisions have a fairly expensive bulb inside that must periodically be replaced. Plasma screens are far more compact, using a series of tiny fluorescent lights set up in agrid to recreate the picture. While this generates asharp¬ er and brighter picture than most projection screens, it also generates alot of heat, sucks back alot of electricity, and costs alot more money.

§ion, it’s best not to think TOO

big. While the idea of dropping amassive screen into your entertainment area may be

very compelling, it's worth keeping in mind some of the drawbacks.

First, if your new screen doesn't have awide viewing angle, it's possible that not everyone will be able to see it

whole if your screen is too large. This is especially notice¬ able on LED and plasma screens with aresolution just short of full HDTV. It becomes

most expensive of the three by far. The higher cost is mostly because each screen needs to be cut from asingle larger sheet and the larger apiece is, the more likely it is to have flaws and the more waste there is around the edges of the master sheet. There are anumber of affordable LCD televi¬

sion models that under 30 inches [diagonally], but over that you’re currently looking at aprice tag approaching or exceeding $10,000. Last month we looked at a46-inch plasma screen from BenO [see our archives at www.HUBcanada.com]. This month, we round out the trio of TV technologies with alook at pro]ection screen and LCD models.

Above acertain size, tube-based TVs become too

heavy and expensive, which accounts for the rise of rear-projection TVs. For afairly reasonable price, you can get an extremely large screen without the distortion of acurved tube.

Samsung’s 55-inch model has full HDTV compat¬ ibility and an imposing presence. At 130x65x140 cm and 99.5 kg, you’ll need to clear agood-sized spot in your living room. But, as abonus, the base has acompartment with aflip-up door that’s per¬ fect for aVCR and DVD player. The lower half of the set features built-in 30-watt stereo speakers. As with all screens of this size, the image does¬ n’t look so hot close up —● especially from steep angles —but take afew steps back and the pic¬ ture looks great.

your ambitions to fit the room.

Protecting your home theatre When you put together a home theatre system, the nest ■of power cords is inevitable: from your screen to your receiv¬ er. from your DVD player to your subwoofer, and more. While you

may be tempted to grab a$10 power cord to connect it all, consider what could happen to your costly home theatre equip¬ ment in the event of apower

surge. For about $55, you can add some real protsction to your setup with asurge-protector. Go to www.HUBcanada.com for our full review of the new line

If you have aproblem with the picture, you can use the auto-focus option or adjust the convergence manually at 15 different locations on the screen. Setting up the screen is reasonably easy, thanks to

the simple remote control and the on-screen menu [which admitted¬ ly takes abit more practice]. You can specify your input settings as well as picture-in-picture setup [including up to 13 pictures in one, plus astock ticker mode). The most intimidating part will be connecting your audio and video components. The rear panel features dual CATV connectors, three component video inputs, two composite video inputs, S-Video input, and aDVI connector for connection to aPC or high-definition DVD player. It also has multiple RCA stereo audio connections on the rear. Outputs include CATV and composite. And, so you don’t have to reach around the back to hook things up, it has asmall door on the side

that hides composite and S-Video inputs [for connecting avideo cam¬ era] and another RCA audio input. Bottom line: despite being amassive addition to your living room, the HCN553W is avery nice screen if you have the space... and the money.

Sharp Aquos LC-3PHV4U www.sharpusa.com Estimated price: $9,999 Amore compact option is an LCD television. Sharp Electronics has gained aname for itself in this space with the Aquos line of flat-panel

TVs, previously available in fairly small sizes [20 inches or less] in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. The new LC-37HV4U is awhopping 32 inch¬ es diagonally and has a16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. At aglance, the 32-inch Aquos is similar to previous models, with an ultra-thin screen component sitting atop aswivel stand. This model comes with aseparate AVC System box that handles all of the connections to and from the unit —in other words, it can maintain its

clean lines because all of the audio and video inputs do not connect to the back of the screen. However, you’ll have to find aspot for the

AVC System box close by unless you get the 10 mcable [available separately]. The rear of the box features anumber of audio and video inputs [dual CATV connections, component video, two S-Video con¬ nections, one DVI, and two composite video connections] as well as

DLP is big, big, big (but small, too) Samsung 61-inch DLP TV (HLM617W1

www.samsung.ca, $7,500 With the move to larger-screen TVs, projection-based models are replacing the trusty bulky and heavy tube-style sets. But even some large-format, rear-projection TVs can be large and unwieldy. For its new line of widescreen TVs, Samsung took abit of technol¬ ogy typically found in business projectors: Texas Instruments’ digi¬ tal light processing (DLP). It uses aseries of tiny mirrors to create an image, which is projected onto the inside of the TV screen. Because light is reflected from the picture elements instead of being passed through (as in other display technologies), the picture from aDLP TV is brighter and colours more intense. We looked at the 61-inch model, but the line also features 43-,

and 50-inch models (which are $5,000 and $6,000, respectively). All three have aresolution of 1,280x720 pixels (which is 720P high-definition resolution, or astraight 1,280x720 resolution if you’re using the set as aPC monitor with the DVI or RGB inter¬ face).

The screen is set up in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, but you can adjust it for your input using the onscreen menu. Each set features multiple inputs: three component inputs, three composite, three SVideo, and dual CATV antennae. Switching between inputs is easy using the remote control or the menu buttons along the side of the screen.

The DLP sets are more compact overall than standard rear pro¬

jection models (a 55-inch standard rear-projection TV we looked at recently was larger than the 61 -inch DLP set, even when the DLP set was in its shipping box). This is thanks to athin bezel around the DLP screen and amuch thinner body.

Even better, it’s alot lighter; the 61-inch set is 49 kg, or about half the weight of the 55-inch standard projection set. Unfortunately, DLP pricing is on the hefty side... for now. At $5,000 for a43-inch set, DLP and entry-level plasma are about the same, though the picture quality of the DLP set is much nicer. Moving up in size, the DLP takes the price lead over plasma. When you look at picture quality, DLP sets are more in competition with LCDs like Sharp’s Aquos, and with a37-inch LCD starting at about

$10,000, DLP has the price advantage if you have the physical space for the screen. By Sean Carruthers

two pairs of stereo RCA audio inputs. The biggest advantage LCD has over rear-projection and plasma screens is the amazingly sharp, flicker-free picture, with aviewing angle of 12D degrees in all directions, so it’ll look good no matter where you sit. It also sounds reasonably good, with apair of detach¬

able ID-watt speakers [complete with table stands]. We did find the remote control more complicated than it needed to be, but if you spend time familiarizing yourself with the buttons, you should be fine.

As with all LCDs this size, the real drawback is price: roughly $1D,DDD. But the Aquos manages to feature ahuge screen and alot of video inputs without taking up half your living room. By Sean Carruthers

Big screens are agreat start, but it isn’t really a home theatre without agood sound system. There are acouple of ways to add high-quality surround sound to your home entertainment centre: with a receiver unit capable of breaking down adigital audio signal into six-channel surround output; or buying an all-in-one package that includes the DVD player, receiver, and speakers. If you already have aDVD player with digital audio outputs, you may want to go with areceiver unit. It does multiple jobs in ahome theatre setup: acts as an amplifier, decodes audio signals into multi-channel surround, accepts audio and video input from other components like CO players and

If you don’t want the hassle, look for areceiver that comes with the speakers —the sound may not be as good as that from individual¬ ly selected components, but it’ll make your life simpler. If your current DVD player doesn’t have optical outputs, or you don’t have aDVD player yet, you may want to consider an all-in-one package.

Jon

P r o fi l e

Oore

Winner Ryan Malcom wasn't the only one on the long road to the Canadian Idol final. Ottawa comedian, Jon Oore, packed his bags and joined the tour as it travelled from Vancouver to St. John's and stops in between. Oore —afrequent perfomerat comedy clubs across Canada and former host of Daytime in Ottawa —was an Idol "correspon¬ dent," whose official duties included playing traffic cop at the porta-potties in Montreal, going shirtless in -4C weather in Winnipeg, getting screeched in in Newfoundland, club

hopping in Toronto, and going shirtless (again) on the Maid of the Mist at Niagra Falls. Of his role as aleavening agent for Canada’s prime-time talent face-off, which wrapped in mid-September, Oore said he hopes it will open alot of doors for him. “Canadian Idol is alot of fun to be apart of.... The cast and crew are great people." Though he doesn’t have acomputer, there are acouple of digital tools he says he can’t live without: his cell phone and his email. "Any date that Ihave to appear at, or anything that Ihave to do, Ihave to check my email,” admits Oore. “I tried using aregular day planner but after aday or two I’d stop.” He accesses his email from Internet cafes or from his girlfriend’s computer. Of his cell phone: “It’s very important now because people do need to reach me and I need to call out." He says he did have aproblem with his phone when, while playing around with it, he changed the language setting to Portuguese. “I had to learn Portuguese because Icould not figure out how to change the language back,” he laughs. “There are some flaws in technology. But Ilike technology, like my cell phone, that you can drop and it still works —although battery-fed technology is sometimes frus¬ trating because it still has to be plugged in."

HUB Shopping Directory i

Next stop, total obscurity Have you ever wanted to talk to abonafide, real-life, washed up celebrity? Well, anew Web site, HollywoodlsCalling.com offers you that chance. For US$19.99,

you can have the likes of Todd Bridges (Diff’rent Strokes), Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), former Bond Girl Lana Wood, Berton Averre (the dude who wrote and sang My Sharona), and plenty more call you to say hello. The time limit is 15 seconds. For US$29.95, you get 30 seconds worth of fun, and you can create the script, as long as it is not inappropriate. For calls outside the U.S., count on paying an extra US$10.

The Web site suggests using the service for birthday greetings, congratulatory calls, and even "motivational calls." Of course you can use the call for any reason: to talk to a

favourite old celebrity, to "impress aclient" as the Web site advertises, or just for a good laugh at the expense of those who have resorted to humiliating themselves for 20 bucks.

Once you make your selection, you can enter in all relevant information, including the name of the person who’ll be receiving the call. The site states the celebrity "will men¬ tion this name." After your order has been processed, the call will come anytime during the next seven days.

For more information, or to have the guy from Walker, Texas Ranger give you aring, visit www.HollywoodlsCalling.com.

Ta k i n g s t o c k How To: Do ahome inventory with digital tools Can you list everything in your home from memo¬ ry? Iknow that most days, I’d have trouble listing everything in my purse. It’s easy to put off making ahome inventory — and no one likes to think about the circumstances

under which you might need to refer to one b u t with adigital camera and ascanner, this task can be relatively painless. Team up with afriend to ffldo both your homes in aweekend. It could even be fun.

Ready, set... Ultimatelg, this is for your own benefit, so you can decide how much effort to put into it and how much detail to record. You could do this with afilm

camera, but adigital camera offers advantages: you can take piles of pictures without running out of film or paying for prints, you can view them immediately to be sure they show enough detail, and you can zoom In on things to see them better when you’re looking at them on acomputer.

The idea here is to photograph everything in your home, so to make these pictures as useful as possible, tidy the place up alittle. Make sure the

dishes and laundry are done and put away, so you don’t miss anything. It’s certainly possible to do this any time, but working in daylight tends to pro¬ duce better shots.

Snap, scan, and file Start with an empty memory card in your cam-

era. Working one room at atime, take pictures showing the room from every angle. Next, open closets and cabinets and take apicture of each, or even each shelf where necessary to get close enough to identify the contents. Pulling your things out of each drawer and spreading them on your table or bed will take alittle longer, but you’ll be able to see everything later. If an item is particularly valuable, photograph it separately. If possible, take apicture of the manu¬ facturer’s plate on the back of appliances and elec¬ tronics, where the model and serial numbers are

noted. If doingthat is particularly awkward, check receipts or the user manuals for the devices, and scan the page where the model and serial num¬ bers are noted into your computer. To keep things organized, download the pictures to your computer as you finish each room, giving each room its own folder. If you have receipts for furniture, appliances, electronics, or other valuable items, scan them and put them in asubfolder with their corresponding pictures. Many basic image¬ editing programs that come with cameras or scan¬ ners allow you to add titles or captions to images, which can be useful for describing details like what type of wood atable is made of, or for noting the purchase date and price if you remember it, but don’t have areceipt to scan.

Once you have acomplete set of images, copy to aCD or DVD, label it with the date, and store it in asecure place outside your home -in asafe deposit box or possibly at the home of someone you trust. Once the initial work is done, maintaining your collec¬ tion can be simple: as you bring new items into your home, take pictures of them and scan receipts to add to your inventory. Every few months, burn a new CO and replace the old one. Another backup possibility Is Mnemopolis.com

[www.mnemopolis.com]. This Montreal-based company offers along¬ term online archiving service, called a Digital Safe Deposit Box, to store docu¬ ments, photos, and videos, and it includes atemplate for ahome Inven¬ tory. The annual fee ranges from $29 for 25 MB of storage, to S2D9 for 3DDMB.

By Sharlene Myers

Details, details Feeling ambitious? Making a spreadsheet of your home inventory can help you check whether you have enough insurance coverage. It will also give you ahead start if ever have to make aclaim.

Open an Excel spreadsheet (Excel is widely used, so it’s one of the easiest file for¬

mats to access if you’re left without your home comput¬ er). Across the top, label columns for Room, Item,

Quantity, Model, Serial num¬ ber, Date/place of purchase.

Purchase cost. Replacement cost. Picture, and Scan. The Picture and Scan columns

allow you to note the file name of arelated photo or scanned document so you can find it later.

Again, how much detail you decide to include is up to you. Your replacement cost total will help determine how

much insurance coverage you need (that is, if your insurance policy covers replacement cost rather than current value). At the bottom of this column, enter

aformula to give you atotal —if the column is H, like mine, and your list went to, say row 99, then the formula is SUM(H2:H99).

If your total is vastly differ¬

ent from the personal prop¬ erty total on your insurance

policy, consult your agent about adjusting your cover¬ age. Also, consult your policy

for limits on certain types of items, like artwork or jew¬ ellery, then check whether those limits cover the items

you have listed.

Open closets and cabinets and photograph contents.

Amajor barrier to home digi¬ tal video editing can be the substantial learning curve required to operate the soft¬

roadblock by making video editing as simple as afew clicks —six to be precise — with your mouse. This soft¬

Making moviea Digital tools help resurrect video memories Home movies have areputation for being long, badly shot, unedited, with muffled, indecipherable audio, and no soundtrack — and thus relegated to the basement to gather dust and never be watched again. The reputation is not undeserved; for years equipment to properly edit video was very expensive, so what you shot was what you watched. The equipment was also cumbersome to use and required extensive training. The dawn of digital video editing has changed all that, though. It allows you to put your movies onto your computer’s hard disk and, tracks, effects, and titles, and copy it all to aDVD. It may be time to dust off your old tapes of cherished family mem¬ ories and edit the raw footage into something more watchable.

this system is that there will be no hiccups with missing frames, which can happen when using acomputer to digitize analogue tape. However, if you don’t have adigital camcorder, the computer is an option. First, though, you’ll need to check that your computer has the right connectors for importing analogue video signal. If not, video cards, like ATI’s All-ln-Wonder series ($199 to $699], will do the job. Other products, like Pinnacle’s Studio Moviebox USB ($249.99] has

Alook at some 802.11g wireless networking products With wireless networking becoming commonplace, you may be tempted to cut the cords connecting your home network. Before heading to your retailer though, you might want to brush up on your wireless alphabet. Devices using the 802.11b standard are now sharing shelf space with new 802.llg products. What’s the differ¬ ence? Speed mainly: 802.llg products are five times as fast. The good news is that 802.llg networks will happily communi¬

Setting up the wireless bridge is abit more difficult. It acts as an access point out of the box, but can connect to awireless router that’s already set up on your network to extend the range. Though the CD setup is less obvious than for the Base Station, the included manual will help step you through it. Buffalo also has an llg repeater for those who want to extend the range of their wire¬

cate with 802.11b products and vice versa (though in aconnection between the two, it will default to the slower 802.11b speed].

if your PC doesn’t have built-in WiFi, Buffalo offers several adapter products, including aPC Card, PCI, and USB versions.

Ta k i n g u p t h e w e l c o m e m a t Some tips for tackling Windows worms, viruses, and hackers

Buying anti-virus software Because anti-virus soft¬

ware must be updated fre¬ quently, it's important to realize that purchasing it is like buying asubscription.

Barring major flaws, most software will do what it is

designed to do indefinitely, or until you upgrade your system and it's no longer compatible. Most anti-virus software, however, works

by comparing files with known virus patterns. Without regular updates,

these comparisons will become ineffective, since

viruses usually change with each generation and there will be fewer matches.

Generally, when you pur¬ chase anti-virus software,

it includes updates for one year. After that, you'll need to either purchase anewer version of the software, or

buy another annual sub¬ scription to continue the updates.

Owning acomputer can be positively terrifying. Some days, it seems that every command might send me and my PC over aprecipice into aworld full of crashes, fatal errors, illegal operations, viruses, worms and other foreign invaders. Having acomputer connected to the Internet will always involve some risk, but there are afew things we can do to reduce our chances of falling prey to Net-crawling critters. Consider software awork in progress When Ibuy askirt, it’s unlikely the manufacturer will show up on my doorstep afew weeks later to adjust the length of the hem or fix azipper that tends to creep. But software is more complex. For example, there are more than 40 million lines of programming code in Windows XP. There are often errors that require adjustment, and it’s important to keep on top of the fixes if you want to prevent problems. Windows XP checks for and downloads critical

updates automatically when you’re online, then asks your permission to install them. These updates can pop up at the most inconvenient times, and because many Internet pop-up ads look like Windows messages now, it can be difficult to tell just what you’re looking at.

If you tend to close them without installing them because the timing is bad or you’re unsure about their authenticity, here’s abetter option. Consider changing your Windows settings to install the

updates on aschedule you specify, so when the time comes, you know what’s going on. You can do this by going to your Start menu and selecting

While Windows gets all the attention, other operat¬ ing systems are not immune to security prob¬ lems. Macintosh users can

If you’re connected to the Internet, you need afirewall, which essentially hides your presence on the network and blocks access to uninvited

guests.

There are two types of firewalls. Software firewalls are available from several

software downloading sites and from many of the same companies that supply anti-virus software. Some of these utilities are free for personal use. Windows XP has abuilt-in firewall (see Microsoft’s

Speaking of attachments, doesn’t it seem like opening an attachment has become like an extreme sport? Even if you have anti-virus soft¬ ware, it’s best to be cautious. If you’re not expect¬

you, then call your sender and ask what it is. Locks and alarms won’t keep out every thief. and even the best security practices don’t guaran¬ tee that you’ll never have acomputer security

Peripherals at play New toys for the gamer who has [almost] everything Pyramat PM300 Equal parts gym mat, booming subwoofer, and midrange speak¬

ers, the PM300 gaming lounger from Pyramat (www.pyramat.com] invites'you to take afew thumps in the spine for the team. It may sound painful, but Pyramat's line of furniture designed with console gamers in mind is actually one of the most comfort¬ able and best ways to get in the game. At US$150, Pyramat’s highest end gaming mat isn’t cheap, but serious gamers won’t mind shelling out for this polyester-shelled piece of gaming nirvana. The PM300 has awired hand remote for adjusting volume, bass, and treble as well as three mesh pockets on the back of the sub¬ woofer housing for storing controllers and said remote. More at home in akid’s room or college dormitory, the PM300 doesn’t exactly fit into any conventional Idea of decor; gamers will likely find family members begging them to put it away when com¬ pany comes over. For such situations, the PM300 folds up into atri¬ angle that can be stored away easily enough or perhaps draped with anice throw, afghan, or other such covering to hide the gaming geekiness below. Using RCA inputs, the PM300 will attach to pretty well any device capable of sound output including all current video game consoles, DVD, and MP3 players, home stereos and portable CD players.

P5 Gaming Glove Nintendo has long been famous for coming out with some of the strangest peripherals to grace the living rooms of North America. The culmination of Nintendo’s gaming gadgets was perhaps the Power Glove, afuturistic plastic appendage with alycra underside used to control the onscreen action —at least in theory. ,

Essential Reality (www.essentialreality.com] has taken it upon itself to recreate and revamp this oddest of video game doodads, releasing the PS gaming glove for the PC. It sup¬ ports games like Hitman 2, Beach Head 2002, and

Tiger Hunt, all of which come bundled with the

peripheral. However, it is essentially usable with any game that involves mouse input. The PS glove plugs into

an infrared receiver that sits on the desk and in turn plugs into your PC via USB, Gamers strap the glove onto the top third of four fingers and the thumb using plastic rings, fasten astrap across the wrist, complete afairly extensive calibration, and go to it. The P5 software tracks the hand’s movement within the 90 cm (3

ft.] range of the receiver using seven transmitters on the glove, it recognizes when each individual digit is flexed or relaxed and coor¬ dinates the onscreen action according to the user’s preference. Far from ideal in games that require lightning quick reflexes, the P5 is best suited to real-time strategy games, point-and-click adventure games, or similar. Many users on P5’s own message boards swear by the giove, but for most of us it remains just another cool peripheral that may pique the interest, but not enough to shell out the US$90 sticker price to satisfy the curiosity.

Logitech NetPlay keyboard controller EverQuest is the most popular “massively multiplayer online role

playinggame”orMMORPG.Infact,itwasthefirstgametobringthe awkward acronym to the masses. So popular was and is EverQuest on the PC that Sony Online Entertainment couldn’t resist giving PlayStation 2gamers achance to play aslightly dumbed-down version of the game in EverQuest; Qnline Adventures soon after the launch of the PSZ’s online adapter. Social Interaction is abig part of what draws gamers to EverQuest, but console gamers have abig hurdle to overcome —aside from the US$9.99 monthly charge to play —namely, trying to enter text using the PS2’s controller. Anyone who has tried to enter their ini¬ tials into ahigh score board will tell you that acontroller, be it joy¬ stick or control pad, is far from an efficient way to enter text. There is apricey but effective solution for gamers looking to chat in an alternate reality, the NetPlay controller.

Logitech (www.logitech.com] worked all of.the appropriate but¬ tons, switches and knobs onto the controller part of the peripheral, then slapped aremovable USB keyboard into the middle of it, mak¬

ing for one of the most striking (if somewhat ungainly] controllers in recent memory (second, perhaps to the aforementioned Nintendo Power Glove]. The NetPlay controller won’t be replacing the much more svelte and user friendly PSE gamepad any time soon, but for gamers look¬
