Web technology comes some

potential solutions as well.
One of the trendy concepts these days ispersonalization. The flrst expression of this was
when Web sites began offering visitors the
opportunity to modify the opening page to
suit their speci6c interests. So, using some "my
homepage" functions, you could tailor the
page to show more sports, only the stock news
you care about, and the local weather. Today,
you can receive email newsletters customized
to suit your interests. But of course, when these
are tied to the host's revenue objectives, the
more you reveal about the subjects that interest you, the more tightly marketers can focus
their pitches on your hot spots.
But there is another side to personalization
that isn't speci6cafly tied to an ecommerce
agenda.It's the way we sort,compile and store
the information as a matter of course these
days. This includes bookmarking useful Web
sites in our Favourites folder, printing out Web

way information in general is now consumed.

I attended a Hewlett-pakard product rog-out

International Data Corporation talked about
the changes in ofhce document distribution.

There are big issues to deal with here, copycan readers make their own judgements
about what content is important, they can
publish personal volumes that reflect their
tastes, priorities and interests. And the Web
reduces the costs of both publishing and distribution to just a fraction of what it costs to
print and distribute a glossy full-colour magazine.
The obvious consequence of this is that the
alternative press flourishes on the Web.
Anyone with a passion and a point of view can

MP3 digital watermark debuts

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. Cognicity (htipy/cognioiy
.corn) has taken the wraps offa user-transparent
digital watermark system for MP3 files. The
AudioKey tMark system has been developed to
embed unique watermarks into digital audio files
in real-time as the file is being downloadedthe firm said.
Cognici
ty said the tMark system'sunique featureis that the identity of the consumer making

a download transaction isembedded into the MP3

track as it is being downloaded.
If the file is uploaded or transferred to other
users,the unique watermark clearly identifies the
MP3 file's origins, but without preventing the file
from playing in the existing wide range of MP3
mobile players or MP3 PCplaying software.
Thefinn said content owners need the transactional watermark soWtion to fingerprint MP3

downloadedand streamed music,so they can identify those who abuse content distribution rights.
To launch the tMark system, Cognicity is offering a free starter kit to qualified customers. The
firm said the starter kit will allow content owners
and online merchants to experiment with transactional watermarking at no cost or risk to themselves.

Your editorial oArt and Technology" (see

Letter from the editor, May 2000 issue)
touched on a topic that is finally gening some
anention: the issue of permanence in inkjet
printing. As a photographer who has spent
thousands of hours in a darkroom breathing
in fumes from the chemistry, I was quite
happy to make the switch to Photoshop and
my Epson printer. However,for this approach
to be viable for photographers producing personal artwork, we need archival quality. It was
heartening to see at least two exhibitors at a
recent new media trade show demonstrating

archival inksand papers.

I hope TCP will cover the state of the
archival art in a future issue. I think there is a
lot of interest in this area.

Problems associated with long spells

at the computer remain a major health
hazard despite years of expert warnings
Ry Ross IRocSontdd
visit to just about any computer retailer
shows evidence that ergonomic issues
ave become a major part of product
design. Keyboards bend in all manner of directions, mice undulate in infinite variety while
monitors and LCD panels tout the latest in
eye-massaging pixel production and anti-glare
coatings. Add to that the racks of ropy holders,
mouse arenas, wrist rests and monitor stands
and we begin to suspect there might be something to this thing called ergonomics particularly in relation to our computers and that
it's an issue we should more seriously consider
while tapping and clicking away.
Ergonomics, in simplest terms, is the study
of the relationship between the worker and the
workplace. It is the science of fitting the workplaceto the worker, which has become a spe-

rialixed field as workers are exposed to many

situations that can potentially lead to injury.

What do wo hoots about osgonomltny

Meera Manahan managesthe Human Factors
Lab, an internal consulting firm operated by
Compaq Computer Corp. to test the eificiency,
comfort and useability of both hardware and
software before it is released onto the market.
"There are various ergonomic consortia that
are a part of academicinstitutions, like the
VDT Health Foundation at Johns Hopkins
University and t h e O f fice Ergonomics
Research Committee, which a number of companies, including Compaq, support. These
organizations assessthe factors leading to disorders and we, along with the other supporting companies, rely on their research when
designing our products."
But Manahan notes that, despite many years
of research into ergonomics and the various
associateddisorders, their causes and sources
have yet to be positively determined: "There
are several factors and combinations of factors
that contribute to things like repetitive-stress

disorders for different individuals, so I think it

would be incorrect to say, at this point, that we
know the exact causes."

Wosh con htsat yo

While research may not have been able to pinpoint the exact causes, we are afi familiar with
the high risk situations and the consequences
of working in them.
"Fatigue of the musculature is oF particular
concern because it can lead to joint immobility or impmper joint movement," says jody
Anderson, a New York-trained chiropractor,
and vice-president of research and ergonomics
for Microsphere, a maker of ergonomic workstations. "Ultimately that can lead to certain
pathologies or conditions, one of the most
prevalent being the repetitive-stress injuries
[RSlsj like carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist

area."
Wrist problems are prevalent, largely
because of the relationship between the body
and the keyboard. The head, neck and shoulders can also b affected, which manifest as
either simple discomfort or unexplained
headaches.
"Problems in the head, neck and shoulder
area result from a combination of factors,"
Anderson explains, "the most infiuential of
which are improper seating position and an
improper positioning of the computer screen."
Peter Goyert is an ergonomist at the
Workers Compensation Board, a position
rooted in his training as a physiotherapist. He
feels that ergonomics considerations have
become more salient because computers are
now so fast and can do so much, people tend
to work at them for longer periods of time
while sitting in a static position.
"Peoplearen't doing as many different tasks
as they one were," he says. "Like, with a typewriter, you used to have to roll the paper
through, set up carbon paper, type the letter...
that sort of thing, whereas with a computer
you' re basically sitting afi day looking at the

l8 JULY 2000 THE COMPUTER PAPER BC EDITION www csnadscomaolescom

screen and doing a

lot of high repetition tasks."
Goyert says the injuries these days include
tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis
and shoulder problems. In short, be says. "a
wide variety of what we call activity-related
soft tissue disorders IASTD for short)or
muscular-skeletal disorders, or work-related
muscular-skeletal disorders, or repetitive
strain injuries, or symptive traumas, or repetitive motion injuries, or overuse syndromethere's all sorts of names for these problems,
but they essentially address the same things."
Repetition, awkward posture, static loading
and forceful exertion are the risk factors associated with those problems, says Goyert. "It
doesn't really mauer whether you' re sitting at a
computer or whether you' re turning boards on
a grading table or you' re a cashier checking out
groceries, the risk factors are essentially the
same."
These injuries don't just appear overnighn
There are warning signs and symptoms,
including aches and pains, tingling, and
headaches. Goyert says people tend to ignore
these, which can lead to problems progressing to the point of becoming a genuine incapacity. "You want to watch out for any signs
and symptoms,"he says."Maybe a pain somewhere or swelling in the hands, or something
that you'd want to get checked out to try and
avoid the development of a chronic problem."
In the United States, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
addressed the issue of ergonomics by passing
new workplace regulations."It's such a serious
issue,
" Anderson says,"that corporations are
now mandated to increase their standard of
workstations to comply with new ergonomic
rules and regulations." A company can now be
held liable for an injury and potentially lose its
insurance if it does not upgrade the workplace
environment to comply with the OSHA
requirements.
The problem, however, is that no single
standard has been determined. A further problem is that nothing like the OSHA initiative
has yet been undertaken in Canada. "Trends
are moving toward such regulation in this
country," says Anderson, "but nothing has
ben done at thts pomt.

This may seem somewhat curious because,

according t o t h e 1 99 8 B .C. W orkers'
Compensation Board annual report, of
3,3 I9,300 claims in that province, 32, I05 were
from strains resulting from repetitive stress
and 71,760 daims were specifically dassified as
ergonomic injuries. Add the fact that over 128
million computers were in use in North
America in l999 compounded by an annual
market growth rateof 28 percent and you
don't need a calculator to add up the vast
potential for both injury and the subsequent
costs.

Bstk R doesn't have so hors yo

One of the most frustrating aspects of the
whole issue, as far as Anderson is concerned, is
that disorders related to poor ergonomics represent the largest group of preventable jobrelated injuries because there are so many simple ways to accommodate safe and comfort-

able compuung.

If you' resitting for eight

hours a daydoing data

IEoujustcan'texPect not
to have any problems.
So, what you have to do is
getsome restfrom that
constantrepetition.
Peter fsoyert, jjjfCB
Like Anderson, Goyert stresses the layout of
the computer workstation as a prime consideration in avoiding ergonomic problems: "You
want to make sure your workstation is adjusted properly have your forearms horizontal to
your keyboard, make sure your wrists are
straight and not bent upward, making sure the
top of your screen is level with your eyes. As
well, your lower back should be supported by
thechair and your feetsupported by the Boor
or a footrest. You also want to make sure you

Viji Maini, manager for airport systems in
the V ancouver I n ternational A i rport
Authority's information technology department, says the airport is known for being at
the forefront o f t echnological change.
Integrating an airport-wide wireless solution
wassomethingthe authority decided was best
for its customers.
"Business passengers have rated the
Vancouver airport as the number one airport
in terms of the service they get," Maini adds.
"And we have had requests about Internet
access and questions about what our strategy
for wirdess was. So we did an evaluation of
some of the technologies available and selected to go with a high-speed wireless because of
the advantages it offered."

ghm 802.11b cmmmucffom

Wireless Internet connectivity is being enabled
through devices that conform to an Ethernet
standard known as 802.11b, which supports
data transmission rates of up to I I M bps,
comparable to standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. A
typical setup indudes three components: a
network switch or access controller, wireless
access points, and wireless 802.lib Ethernet
cards.
The access points are diskributed throughout the area where network access is required.
The access points are connected to a switch,
which in turn is connected to services like
Internet access. Notebook computers can gain
access to the resulting network if they are
equipped with wireless 802.lib Ethernet
cards. So, the theory is, no matter where passengers are in the airport they should be able
to connect to the network and out onto the
Internet if they have a compatible 802.11b card
installed in their computer.
To help install this network, the Vancouver
airport worked with Nokia, which contracted
Vancouver-based ZooLink Communications
Ltd. to integrate and support the network

ports and hotels across North America and

Canada
"We formed the company to basically solve
the problem of connectivity for travelers," says
Dirk Heinen, vice-president of marketing for
Wayport.
In March,Wayport announced an agreement with Marshall Management Inc., a
Maryland-based hotel management firm, to
provide wireless and wired high speed Internet
access at some 15 hotels in six U.S. states.
These networks will let hotel guests connect to
the Internet and corporate networks at speeds
up to 50 times faster than normal dial-up.
Wayport has installed wireless networks at
four airports across North America,
including the Dallas International
Airport. Like the Nokia network in
Vancouver, the Wayport network
allows travelers to connect anywhere
in the airport. The network is open to

Recognizing that more people are

3Com Corp. announced that it will
begin working more dosely with visitor-based network service providers to
integrate 3Com's own set of wireless
and network technologies into public areas.

have an anti-glare monitor or eliminate glare
at the source."
A simple and effective suggestion from
Goyert to reduce eye strain is to make sure
your monitor isn't set up in front of a window
so that your eyes don't have to constantly
adjust between the light from outside and the
screen. Instead, place your monitor in front of
a background that is not the source of a lot of
bright light. Also Goyert likes the idea of hav-

ing a ropy holder at the side of the monitor so

you don't have to look down to see what you' re
typing from.
"There's lots of ways to adjust your workstation," Goyert says. "One o( my favourites for
adjusting monitor height is to use a telephone
book if it's too high you just slice out a few
pages, or if it's too low just add another phone
book."
He also stresses that properly setting up
your workstation is not the whole answer to
avoiding ergonomic-related problems. Doing

that functions instead as more of a mitigating

inliuence: "IF you' re sitting for eight hours a
day doing data entry on a computer, you just
can't expect not to have any problems. So, what
you have to do is get some rest from that constant repetition. Adjust your work so that every
so often there's no hard and fast rule about
time you get up and move around, change
your position."
One helpt'ul thing you can do is make sure
your printer isn't right next to your computer
so that you have to get up and walk down the

hall or across the room to get your printouts.

There are also numerous booklets and charts
and softwarepackages that show stretches you
can do at your desk periodically.
"I think they' re great," Goyert says. "But
what I Bnd is that people tend to, unfortunately. tack them up on their bulletin boards or put
them on the bookshelf orwhatever and never
look at them again. Even those programs that
pop up on the screen to teU you when it's time
to stretch often simply get switched off and

ignored,
"The thing to remember is that there's no
one thing that's going to do the trick You have
to do everything set up your workstation to
ix your awkward posture,reduce the repetif
tion and the forceful exertions in your work
and take breaks to stretch or move around."
Goyert says.
Manahan cites Compaq's Comfort artd
Safety Guide,a booklet that is shipped with ag
of the company's products and is freely available to anyone wishing to receive a copy. She
says the information it contains is from the
ergonomic research organizations mentioned
earlier. and is presented in a simple, easy-to-

follow fashion.

"Our Comfort ond Safety Guide retlects the

currentresearch into the ergonomics issue,"
she explains. "In the past, for example, it was
thought there was only one perfect posture;
one way to hold tbe body when working at a
computer. But I think what our guide shows
is that now there's a range of postures that
can be appropriate. I think if you' re shopping for a desk or a chair or other components needed for a workstation, it's very
important that you can make adjustments
and changes to that equipment regularly and
easily."
There are some very basic concepts that
users should be aware of, says Dr. Keith
Phillips, who sits o n t h e B .C. Medical

Bluetooth-ready PDA, or someone could dialup to get information about a store location
via a Bl u etooth-ready cellular p h one.
Bookstores could use Bluetooth to deliver
news highlights or book reviews to a variety of
different devices.
"In the future world, there will be so much
activity and applications for the server that we
have created, it will boggle the mind," Arnison
adds. "Bluetooth being an unregulated and
uncontrolled space, a frequency that does not
require licensing it creates fantastic opportunities for low-cost wireless delivery."
Arnison also believes criticisms of the difliculty of networking an area wider than one' s
desk with Bluetooth are premature. Because
Bluetooth technology is inexpensive, it will
not cost companies a lot to Bluetooth-enable
devices or to set up Bluetooth access points
around an oiBce or public space.
"Bluetooth also has a greater acceptance
among manufacturesand software vendors,

and the people building silicon," Arnison says.

"The cost of manufacturing the appliances is
far less."Ci

"Second, the individual sitting at the keyboard should be in good physical shape,"
Phillips adds. "If they tend to be a very tense
individual whose lifestyle doesn't include regular physical activity, the literature is substantial that suggests that type of individual is
more likely to develop the syndrome. On the
other hand, it's very rare in my experience to
come across a patient who does a regular cardiovascular Btness program or some kind of
good regular exercise who develops these
kinds of disorders."
A common riskfactor is when people use
standard desks, rather than desks designed to
accommodate a computer, which puts their

arms and elbows higher than they should be

Phillips is convinced that there's rarely a
single, simple solution to syndromes resulting
from poor ergonomics. Anderson, Goyert and
Phillips ag agree that you not only have to
look at the setup of the desk, chair, keyboard,
mouse and monitor, you also have to consider what you' re doing when you' re not workLng.
All support taking time out to stretch periodicaBy when working at a computer for long
periods. "Usually I give patients a little chart of
neck and upper torso exercises," says Phillips.
"And if they can do that in their workplaces
that's all the better."
In summing up his advice, Phillips essentially recommends that we all keep moving:
y
We are a very sedentary nation, to the point
that suggesting activity is a revolutionary idea
to some. But we can't underestimate lifestyle's
impact on keeping people healthy and avoiding these kinds of problems. The human
organism is meant to be used and we often
forget that in our complex technological environment." El

Vopt99 a fast disk defragmenter

Ry Chris Melteu
'ndows 95 and 98 come with the
DOS program Defrag.exe, which is a
subset of the Speed Disk program in
Norton Utilities. When I use Windows' Defrag,
I click the Details button to see a graphical representation of what is happening. Sometimes
Defrag works quickly, moving multiple clusters of data at once. Other times it laboriously
moves clusters individually, even if I' ve defragmented very recently! When it does this,
defragmenting a partition of only a couple of
gigabytes becomes painfully slow.

The 950 MHz processor is one of the new
AMD Athlon chips, and is paired up with the
Apollo VXI33 chipset with the front-side
bus running at 200 MHz. Our test machine
came with 256 MB of PCI33 SDRAM. The
system ships with a spacious 40.9 GB Maxtor
DiamondMax hard drive, which spins up m '
7200 rpm and makes use of the LIDMA66
interface for faster data transfer.

Installation
As CPUs, RAM, and motherboards become
fast
er,and hard disks bigger,fragmentation of
files becomes a greater bottleneck to computer
performance. However, many computer users
seldom defragment their hard disks. This is
probably because they don't understand the
benefit
s of defragmentation, and becauseeven if they do it takes so long.
I first heard about Vopt99 when reading
Scott Mueller's Upgrading und Repairing PCs,
Eigh/A Edition. In it , M ucfier says "My
favourite for an extremely safe,easy and fast
unfragmenting program is the Vopt utility by
Golden Bow. In my opinion, no other utility
even comes close to thisamazing 550 package."
With that kind of recommendation, I had to

equal to a 35-105 zoom in 35 mm terms.
Saving a picture on the Olympus in uncompressed TIFF format results in a 5.5 MB file.
While the image quality is very good, the camera took a long time to process and save the
image.
The Olympus has a few limitations. First,
the capacity of the memory card that ships
with the unit is 8 MB, so you can take just one
uncompressed image (and a few compressed
ones)before you have to unload the card.This
is an easy problem to solvejust ship a bigger
memory card, like the 20 MB card Kodak
indudes with its camera.
More diffirult to solve is the pokiness of the
image processor. After taking a picture using
the uncompressed image setting, the camera's
busy light flashed for 30 seconds before it was
ready to take another picture. The highestquality compressed setting (least amount of
compression) still produces images of good
quality, with just minor delays between shots,
so this will be a non-issue for those not interested in saving images in uncompressed format.
This model will serve the point-and-shoot
crowd very well, but it also gives the more serious photographer the ability to control many
exposure settings.

thatmuch, you can compare a common feature &om both images, pixel by pixel. In every
case, we could see differences between a compressed and an uncompressed image, but those
differences did not automatically mean that
the compressed image always looked inferior.
When printed snapshot size on a photo-quality inkjet (we used the Lexmark Ietprinter 5770
for our tests), the differences were not noticeable in many cases. Even when printed at larger sizes, the images were quite impressive.
However. some compression artefacts along
edge details are noticeable.

Both these cameras allow you to save imagesas

uncompressed TIFFs. We see the ability to
store in uncompressed format as a desirable
feature, although not everyone will care about
it. So. what's the big deal about uncompressed
images?
Image fi
les can be huge.Each uncompressed
image from the Kodak DC-290 takes up 6 MB;
Olympus's uncompressed image files take up
5.5 MB each.
Because storage cards are very expensive
(currently about $100 for a 16 MB card),
image compression is one of technologies
camera makers use so they can sella camera at
a reasonable cost that will hold more than just
a couple of digital images. Most digital camera
makers have used )PEG compression to reduce
the fi(es to a manageable size. The reduction in
file sizes issignificant. For example, the fi)e size

My initial impressions of the Kodak DC265,

It was too big to be a pocket camera, but didn't have the features (such as extensive manual
exposure controls) that serious amateurs have
come to expect in a premium camera. But first

cost between $100 and 5120, while 64 MB
cards cost are $350 to $400. The 160 MB CF II
memory card has a suggested retail price of

representative. while IBM's 340 MB microdrive sells for US5450. IBM expects to bump
the capacity of the microdrive to I GB by the
end of this year.
Doing some rough math, a 160 MB CF II
card could hold 25 or more uncompressed
images from either camera, had they a slot to
accommodate it, and anywhere fiom a few
hundred to several hundred compressed
images. The microdrive would store more than
50 uncompressed images.
We have been using both CF II storage
devices with a Canon powerShot Pro70, one of
the few digital cameras with a CF II slot (in fact
the Canon has one CF 11slot and one standard
CF slot). With the Canon's high capacity battery, it is a pleasure to be able to shoot 50 or 60
pictures during an afternoon without having
to worry about finding a computer to download images &om a full memory card, or running out of battery power. (The 160 MB storhow muchcompression you specify.

basic. The system ships with Logitech's
Cordless Desktop I-Touch package, which
communicates with the receiver unit via radio
&equeny, allowing you to use both mouse
and keyboard &om across the room without
wires getting in the way.

On thesoftware side,the Monsoon comes

with Windows 98 Second Edition, as weg as
the Microsoft Plus Pack For protection of
data, MAfee's Virus Scan is also included. For
those who want to take full advantage of the
system's multimedia abilities, the machine
also comes with a software DVD player for
watching movies.
We benchmarked th e m achine using
BAPCo's Sysmarkgg test suite, a nd t h e
M onsoonachieved an overallSysmark 9$ rating
of 357 (oifice pmductivity was 342, and content

creation, 379), which blows well past any previous machine we've had a chance to bendunark
You can certainly see the difference in software

DVD playback, which tends to be abit jerky and

pixdlated on slower madunes. The Monsoon
handled playback admirably, with excellent picture qualily throughout.
The $3,799 price tag doesn't include a monitor, though you can certainly add one to the

Monsoon package (ours shipped with a

Samsung SyncMaster 753 DynaRat monitor,
whichadds another $349 to the package price).

For what you get, though, the high cost B

justifiable. The Monsoon delivers top-notch

performance, and gives us a pretty good idea

of whatkind of performance we can expect
when we break the I GHz banier.

industry analystsonce predirxed. A good quality 17-inch CRT monitor with a three-year
warranty can be purchased for a street price of
less than $400, while active matrix TFI' monitors have yet to fall below $1,400. and some
exceed $2,000.Three excellent CRT monitors
can bepurchased for the price ofone excdlent
LCD. This explains some of the weak demand.
The manufactwing process also contributes
to the higher cost of flat-panel displays. The
difficult business of aligning more than two
million microscopic liquid crystal andtransistor cells correctly results in a portion of units
not meeting specifications. Monitors that do
not meet strict quality control standards must

be scrapped.If manufacturing processes

improve we can expect the yield of good units
to increase. This should allow manufacturers
to relax prices.
Why haven'tpricescome down as expected?

Manhew Ki, computer produts manager
forSamsung Electronics Canada, says demand
for flat-panel displays is not great in North
America or developing nations yet. Demand
for TFT LCDs in Asia and Ewope currently
meets or exceeds supply. Why should manufacturers lower prices for a North American

made means individual pixels cannot be

repaired or replaced, says Phi1p. So, if a customer returns an LCD under warranty with six
or more pixels not functioning, the entire unit
must be scrapped. This represents a considerable investment, usually over $1,200. The customer must then be given a new unit a cost
borne by the manufacturer.
In contrast, a CRT monitor returned under
warranty can usually be repaired, and quite
often without replacing the actual tube. In the
unlikely event the entire CRT has to be
scrapped, the manufacturer loses only a fraction of the cost of replacing a competitive flat-

This unit is a sok grey nlor with the control

buttons for the OSD tactfugy hidden out of
the way on the bottom lek of the display panel.
The FX70 comes with both analogue and digital interfaces, making it ready to go if you
switch to a digital graphics card.
As this is a multimedia monitor, the base
contains speakers from Polk Audio, ported for
better bass frequency response. The stereo
speakerinput jack is on the rear of the base.
The stereoaudio cable also has a subwoofer
connector.
The display will tilt -5 degrees and +35
degrees, so it can be viewed easily by someone
standing above it. Viewing angle information
was not available from Hewlett-Packard at
press time.
Picture quality was generally very good,
though some sicker was noted in portions of
the test when refresh was set to "optimal."
Reducing the refresh rate from 85 Hz to 75 Hz
decreasedthe amount of kicker appreciably.

The L5CBS was the only monitor in this

Viewsonic isone of the brand leaders when

it comes to monitors, and the VP151 is a
perfect example of why, as it's loaded with
features.
The base can be adjusted 6.3 crn (2.5
inhes)for height, and can be removed
for wall mounting. The display an

T he OSD controlsare on front of the

USB ports, two of which are downstream.

On the lft side are four audio ports, and at
the rear are USB and video ports.
Screen tilt is -5 degrees and o 15 dcgrccs.
Viewing angle is +80 degrees horizontally
and +80 degrees vertically.
At certain rcfrcsh rates, the colour gradients were not smooth, but most users
would not notice, and it was easily corrected. Otherwise, the picture quality was
excellent, and useful features like swivel,
tilt, and pivot make this a true multimedia
monitor.
(Note: Viewsonic also has more basic 15inch LCD monitors that are available for
more budget-oriented consumers.)

Editor's choices
Apple Sgutge misplay
Despite its Tupperware-like appearance it gets the
editor's nod. Overall it had the best picture, even
when not connected to its favourite video card.
There are thousands of ATI Rage users who would
welcome this model.

Soeplze Sygge
The smallest, lightest, and (in my opinion) bestlooking unit. The picture quality of this monitor was
excellent no matter what we connected it to, and the

price is very competitive.

Samsung 030P

The 570P offers both tilt and pivot for more viewing
flexibility, as well as a good sound component. This

is a lot of monitor for the money.CI

TheToronto-based research firm pegsthisgrowth on severalfactors, indudtng improved image quality and ease of use, and a continued drop in prices. These trends are particularly true for portable
projectors the growing popularity of which can also be attributed

to their dropping weight. Many companies are now manufacturing

projectors that tip the scales at less than 4.5 kg (10 lb.), and in some

instanceseven lessthan 2.5 kg (5 lb.).

the NetWinder from
Rebelcom manages to

pull it oif.
The NetWmder is a full-featured Linux
server that weighs around I kg (2.2 lb.) and

can serve 100 users. You can think of the

NetWinder as a network and Internet appliance, since it is so easy to set up and to work

with. A few minutes of configuration were all

I neededbefore I was able to useit on my LAN
as an Internet gateway. Some of its other uses,
as an email server or firewafi, will of necessity
take more eifort snd time, but it is always easy
to work with.
Rebelcom used to be the hardware division

of Corel before being spun oif. While Corel

retains a sizeable investment in it. Rebel.corn
is an independent company that makes its
own decisions. An example of this is that
NetWinder runs the Red Hat Linux distribution, not Corel Linux.

both more important than how it looks, but
I confess to being fascinated by t h e

NetWinder's appearance. The NetWinder

seriesconsists of rack-mount and compact
desktop versions. I tested the latter, a model
called the OfliceServer, which has 64 MB of
RAM and a 10 GB drive. Like the others in

the series, it has an external power supply,

which helps to partially explain its slim
dimensions of 5x24xl 5 c m ( 2 x9.5x6

in.) and its light weight (noted above). It

has ports to connect a mouse, keyboard and
monitor. It also has a serial port for an exter-

MP1600 also offers XGA (1,024x768 pixel)

resolution and an AutoSync feature to automatically scale the projected presentation to
&II the screen whether the information is displayed u sing V G A (6 40x480), S VGA
(800x600), or SXGA (1280x1024) resolution.
A key feature of many of these new ultraportable projectors is their abiTity to handle
multimedia and interactive information. In
order to handle that kind of rich media, the
MP1600 comes with an optional video adapter
allowing the presenter to switch between computer and video inputs. This eliminates the
need to set up a separate video presentation.

and a full colour image is sent to the screen.
However, not everyone agrees that LCD
technology is superior to DLP. Walnut, Calif.based ViewSonic Corp. believes both technologies offer benegts to users of portable
projectors.
The reason LCD has been at the
forefront is that the technology has been in the
marketlonger and thereby has become accepted among moreusers ofportable projectors.
"It is a mature product," says Jeff Klass,
directorofsales for advanced
products with Vi ewSonic.
"DLP technology was introduced around 1995, so it' s
about &re years old. People
often equate age with colour

uniformity and clarity of

"You have a set of projectors that can handle

s ales manager with Epson, "Our projectors can
h andle a picture within a plcttue, so you can
have a video running with the PowerPoint
presentation running in the backgmund."
The projectors come with built-in speakers,
but external ones can be attached for better
sound. The PowerLite 500 and 700 deliver up
to 800 lumens each, while the 7 10 projects up
to 1,000 lumens. The PowerLite 500 offers up
to SVGA resolution, and the PowerLite 700
and 710 can deliver native XGA resolution.
The most powerful of the trio, the PowerLite

710, weighs just 2.6 kg (5.8 lb.).

A distinguishing feature of Epson's line of
projectors is their use of a three-LCD projection system. Klebanoff says this system allows
for better image quality, colour saturation and
brightness compared to DLP-based projectors.

Ion 'maddog' Hall

talks Linux
or the last six years, Ion
"maddog" Hall has
b een on e o f th e
strongest and most eg'ective supporters of the Linux

trying to get some guy over

from Bumpe to t alk
about this Linux open
source operating system
for the 1994 meeting of
the Digital user group

DECUS in New Orleans. I

persuaded DEC [Digits(

open-source operating system in North America. With

more than 25 years of experience in t h e computer
industry, Hall has a master's degree in computer
science, and has held senior
technical, software development and marketing jobs at Digital,

WordPerfect

v
vx

ed

Bell Labs and Compaq.

Maddog also has more than 17 years
experience with the Unix community, and a
personal history that seems to have primed
him with the determination to see an opensource operating system done right.
Since meeting Linux pioneer Unus Torvalds
in 1994, maddog has become a friend of the
Torvalds family, and is the godfather to Linus
and Tuve's two children.
Maddog is cmrently the executive director
of Linux International (hxpttnnnli.otgt), the
non-prost body that promotes the development of the Linux operating system. Hall lectures and teaches widely on Linux and is also

one of the most proli6c and popular authors

of Linux-rel
ated books, induding several For
Dummiestitles.
In mid-May, canadacomputes.corn editor
Ieff Evans had the opportunity to interview
maddog, who was in Toronto to snead the

LinuxCanada conference and exposition.

IEt How did you meet Linus Torvattfs ond get
involved in Linux?
IMH: I had been involved with the Unix
operatingsystem forabout 17 years,and was
quite activein Unix user group activities. I was

Equipment Corp.j management to fund

L inus to v i sit t h e
U.S. and talk about
Linux.
I met Linus and
had my Erst shot at using
Linux. I End that using an
operating system for the Erst time is
a bit like playing a piano. After a bit, you can tell
if your instrument is a good one. After I tried
Linux I thought, "Hey, this is good!"
I discussed the possibility of Linus doing

Linux for Alpha-based computers. Linus said

he was very interested but that he was having
trouble getting a developer's unit fmm DEC,
so he was going to develop Linux for the IBM
PowerPC instead. He was doing everything on
bis own time, his own old PC at his desk, and
he had no money. I contacted DEC, and got
bim an Alpha computer right away. So Linux
was developed for Alpha, not PowerPC.

finally received Cord WordPerfect Ofgce
2000 for Linux. Ihad asked for the Deluxe
Edition, but ended up with the Standard
Edition. This is due to cutbacks at Cord, no
doubt. (This is meant as a joke, obviously, but
it is a legitimate reference to the 6nancial

problems Corel continues to suffer).

Since I have the Coral Linux OS running on
one of my computers, it didn't take me long to
install the suite. In fact, once I found a knife to

cut through the shrinkwrap, opened the package and extracted the CD-ROM, it took no
more than six minutes to do the installation.
I've been using the software fora w eek,during
which time I' ve gone through many of the
typical tasks performed with an suite of ofgce
applications. I'm continuing to work with

WordPerfect Ofae 2000, which will surely

lead to additional insights over time, but I
already have enough information to write this
review.
As noted above, WordPerfect Of6ce 2000
for Linux is available in two dif'ferent editions.
Both contain the downloadable version of the
Corel Linux OS, as well as WordPerfect 9,
Quattro Pro 9, Core) Presentations 9 and
CorelCentral 9. The Deluxe Edition otrers

more clipart images, fonts and photos, as well

as some games, Netscape Communicator and
Paradox 9, Corel's relational database. For the
relatively modest price difference ($50). I
would recommend the Deluxe Edition as the
better value, even if you don't think you need
a relational database.
The minimum system requirements on the
software side are Linux Kernel Release 2.2 or
higher, and X-Windows.Any recent distribution of Linux should work, although obviously Coral is making it as easy as possible for
users to choose its distribution. On the hardware side, Corel specifies a minimum of a 166
MHz Pentium with 32 MB of RAM, but it
recommends a 200 MHz Pentium with 64 MB
of RAM. For a typial installation, 300 MB of
disk space is required. Other requirements
include a CD-ROM drive, VGA monitor,

m ouseottablet,and an Ethernet card fornetwork connectivity.

Many people will be surprised at the high
minimum requirements, since it is widely
believed that nothing mote than an old 406Cotrittned on page 82

as well as reference documents from Apple's

technical library. The course is a light version of

what Appie has offered for a signirfffcantly higher price to authorized Apple repair shops in the
past. Once you have completed the course,
you'R be well equipped to upgrade and troubleshootyour own Mac. Should you want to go
one step further and hire your services out to
others, you must pass Apple's service ertification exam, at an additional cost.The exams are
offered by many educationai institutions in

varies from school to school). The training kit is
a great idea for someone who wants to learn
moreabout what makes theircomputer tick,or
who is planning a career in trouble-shooting
and tech suppo*.

support and sharper images if they are to keep

up with users' demands.
In April, NEC announced plans to incorporate its proprietary Vortex Technology in its
MultiSync VT lightweight projectors. Vortex
Technology is designed to help projectors display CRT-like image quality for greater depth,
detail, colour and contrast in the projected
images. These image-enhancing features are
particnriarly important since models in the
MultiSync VT line have a variety of video
input options.
"It is enhancement technology that works
with four different subsets of the image," says
Bob Guentner, product marketing manager
with NEC's projection group, which is based in
Itasca, IU. "The technology will give you better

uniformity of whiteness so we can provide better colour saturation and even bauer colour
display so you don't get different shadings.
There is also gamma correction that works
with LCD panels and the light source to correct for Red and Blue on the screen and
improve image detail enhancement. There is
also improved colour separation and an
expanded grayscale."
Currently, Vortex Technology is available in
the MultiSync VT440 and the MultiSync
VT540 projeeors. The MultiSync VT440 can
project up to 110 lumens and is XGA compatible. It accepts NTSC, PAL, SECAM and
HDTV video input. The MultiSync VT540 can
project up to 1,000 lumens and is SXGA compatible. Q

with a company's culture."

were not very well laid out. They did not know
what the issues were or even where to begin

ln response to this, Jones decided that what
was needed was a kind of boot camp where
Internet startups could get the skills they
needed to sucessfully approah a venture capitalist or investor. In mid-May, Jones hosted
just such an event, a two-day camp with a variety of seminars on how someone looking to
start an Internet businessshould go about getting the necessary funding.
One of the things attendees discovered is
that having a business plan is no longer
enough to open an investor's wallet.
"The business plan describes the company,
what they do. what the market is and how they
will reach it," Jonessays, nBut a big part of it as

Slightly ahead of the bandwidth

Though long-distance Internet telephony

looksgood on paper.theactualexperience
is less than perfect. The main problem is
with delays caused by routing the digital

data through the Internet. Beause your

signal doesn't travel directly from point A
to point B it may be routed via Chicago,
Boulder and Boca Raton (depending on
how the backbone is routing) it can take
a while for the packets to reassemble on
the receiving end. This rnanifests itself in a

delay, much like international overseas

phone calls from the old days, when signals
had to bounce off a few satellites, going
thousands of kilometres out of their way,
in addition to having travelled the thousands of kilometres of wires and circuitry.
Even local o r short d istance Internet
telephony calls are affected by this delay. If
you were in Vancouver and wanted to place
a phone call to Victoria, you'd su(Ter a oneor two-second delay throughout the conversation, depending on t h e volume of
network traffic at the time you call.
If you' re contemplating purchasing an
Internet telephony device, the real consideration is your ability to deal with that
delay, which can be quite an obstacle in

holding a coherent conversation. If you' re

like me, you' ll probably find it easier to just
pay the long-distance charges.

Unfortunately, international calls over

the Internet are even worse. During testing, we tried calls to a few places overseas,
and the delay was so severe that our parties
always hung up before realizing there was
a ctually someone on the line. With t h e
currently m i n imal d elays o n s t andard
international long-distance calls, the cost
becomes the major factor. Are excessive
delays really worth the savings?
It's important to note that these problems are a product of the hardware itself.
The InternetPhoneWizard is an interesting
and well-thought-out d evice. I n m a ny
w ays, it's simply a product ahead of i t s
time, waiting fo r t h e day when there' s
enough bandwidth to easily handle phone
calls on top of everything else. Admittedly,
it's a fun toy in the interim, as long as the
person at the other end of the call is willing to put up with the inevitable timing
problems. C)

Ethernet port to a hub or switch. Next, the
power cord is connected to the back of the
NetWinder, and plugged into an electrical
outlet. It has no on/off switch. As the computer begins to boot up, you can set the volume control to a midway position so you can
hear the synthesized voice say, "Welcome to
NetWinder." That's the signal that you can
begin your work. In the ordinary course of
events, you won't ever need to power down.
I took the induded Qu)ckStart CD-ROM to
a computer (any computer will do) on my network and went through the first phase of the

DNS Configuration tabs. After rebooting the

computer, you will finish your onfiguration
work in your Web browser. In M icrosoft
Internet Explorer, you will go to the Internet
Options of the Tools menu, and choose automatically detect settings in the LAN Settings
menu. In Netscape, choose Edit, Preferences,
Advanced, Proxies, Direct connection to the
Internet. That's all you need to do to take care
of Web browsing.

The NetWinder is capable of much more,

including file and printer sharing, email
services,
Web site hosting, remote access,and
firewall seurity. The required software is
already installed. Although there are easy-touse menus to configure everything, anything
involving security on a device that's conneted to the Internet needs'to be treated with
considerable care and respect.
If you already have a good computer with

two Ethernet cards, you can achieve many of

the same results with a product like the esmith server tk gateway, reviewed in the April
issue of TCP. However, for an integrated
hardware and software solution with excel-

lent supportand appliane-likeconvenience,

the NetWinder I tried is a very good value at

configuration. The NetWinder scans the network and suggests an IP address for itself. It also
forces you to go through several pages of information. The only way to get to the next stage of
the configuration is to page through the documentation. This is done to minimize the chance
of impatient users making a mistake.
Once the initial, simple configuration is
done, you enter the NetWinder's IP address

(typically a n on-routable address like

)92.168.0.1) in your browser and log into the
menu w i t h t h e d e fault a d m inistrator

Thereare numerous easy-to-use menus in
Administration Mode. The top-level choices
are: Users, Groups, Hosts, System, Services,
Network, Options, and Help. To configure
the NetWinder for the Internet, begin in
Network.The OfficeServer supports the foll owing m ethods o f c o nnecting t o t h e
Internet: xDSL modem, cable modem, ISDN
router, ISDN Terminal Adapter, and dial-up
or permanent modem connection. I decided

to use my cable modem.

I connected my modem to the 10Base-T
port on the NetWinder, then turned on the
modem. In the Network menu Ethernet settings of t h e O uikStart u t ility, I c hose
Change TheseParameters and entered some
of the values supplied by my Internet service
provider (ISP). Although the cable companies use DHCP, they always assign the same
IP address. I entered that IP address and netmask for the 10Base-T settings. I kept the
10/100Base-T settings as they were, and in
the Network Settings area, I entered the values I had been assigned by my ISP for client

The documentation recommends that
NetWinder be used as a DHCP (dynamic
host configuration protocol) server. If you
choose that option, NetWinder will automatically assign IP addresses to computers
on your network. If, like me, you prefer to
assign addressesmanually, you can easily
turn off the DHCP service.
For a workstation on your network to conn ect to OfficeServer, it needs a valid I P
address and netmask, and the address of the
NetWinder computer. If you choose to do
this manually, you will go to Network in
Control Panel. After entering the IP address
and netmask, you will enter the IP address of
the NetWinder device in the Gateway and

this column I' ll showyou how to create a fun and useful

Begin by creating a new workbook (click the New button on

the toolbar) and removing aU but one of the sheets from it. To
do this, click the sheet tab of the 6rst sheet to remove, then hold
the Shift key as you click the last sheet. With aU the sheets
selected. choose Edit, Delete Sheet, then OK.
You' ll get a better presentation if you turn oif the gridlines
and scrogbars for this sheet. so you limit the area of the workbook you' ll be using to what's visible on the screen. This way
youwon't have to scroll around the screen to Gnd things. To do
this. choose Tools, Options, the pick the View tab and deselect
the following checkboxes: Gridlines, Row & Column headers,
Horizontal Scroll Bar, Vertical Scroll Bar, and Sheet Tabs. Click
OK to confirm these settings.

If you follow these steps, you'U end up with a worksheet
that opens whenever you start Excel and contains text and
image links to aa your worksheets. AU you need do is to
point and dick to open the file you want. The command
centre will stay open, allowing you to select it anytime to
open any other file that is linked to it. One word of warning
though. this will be so useful that everyone at work will be
asking you about it, so be prepared to show them how to
create their own.

Mnhnmttlng hnrthsmsn
Tbe basic hardware you need for a home network is a hub, some network interface cards
(NICs), and some t wisted-pair Ethernet
cables. You need one NIC for each workstation
(and possibly two NICs for your server, as we' ll
see in the third installment of this home-networking series). Many new Windows and Mac
PCs come with a NIC instafied. A couple of

years ago, 10Base-T (10 Mbps) NICs and hubs

were standard. Today, the industry is moving
towards broad acceptance of 100Base-T (100
Mbps). Most current cards are 10/100 and can
work on both types of networks.
For a home network, you are unlikely to
nmd anything faster than 10Base-T, but if

you' re purchasing a new NIC, you might as

weg get 10/100 to allow you to move to a faster
network in the future.
NICs, for Intel PCs, come in a variety of
types and generations. Older PCs require ISA

NICs, while new ones generally use PCI NICs.

lf you have acquired an older server, it might

even be EISA based, requiring an EISA NIC.

Most portables use PC Card (PCMCIA) network adapters.
Before purchasing a NIC, you should check
t he h a rdware c o mpatibility g u i d e a t
hitp://wnw.redhat,<em/support. Linux supports a
broad range of NICs, but some are better supported than others. If you choose a wdl-supported brand and model, it makes integration
I' ve used a variety of NICs in Linux boxes
and have had good luck with most of them.
Intel EtherExpress Pro NICs are a good match
for busy servers, but for home machines cards
such as those made by D-Unk or SMC (such as
the EZ series) work well and are rmsonably

pricml.
For a home nenvork you can use one of the
little 10 Mbit minihubs you find in computer
stores for under 350. Minihubs tend to come
in five- or eight-port models.
Unless you want to invest in good crimping
tools, purchase pre-made lengths of twistedpair Ethernet cables with R)45 connectors
already attachetL They come in a variety of
pre-made lengths, but you should always get
them a little longer than the distance from
your PC or Mac to the hub so you have some

work.
Almost all networking today is TCP/IP

NICs).
If you want to connect computers in difi'erent rooms in your home, you will have to
investigate drawing cable through your house,
or consider wireless solutions which are tidy
but somewhat expensive and generally slower
than cable.

There are connectivity rules and methods that

allow individual networks to be connected to other
individual networks, allowing a user on one network to communicate with a user on another network Multiply these mnnection points by thousands upon thousands and you' ve got an extreme-

official IP nmnbers, reserved for registered

domains, are in short supply.
That, however, is a problem for businesses
and ISPs, not for homes. Fortunately, the stan-

dards bodies also reserved a few series of "private" IP numbers that were designated as
numbers that would never be used in public.
There are three dasses of these private numGmrinued on page 101

Wayne just told hia boas at the printing press to take his job and "shovei I," li(tuidatcd all his
savings, bought a onc-way ticket to Los Oringoa, Texas and lea his wife of 36 yeus with a
decidedly one-sided divorce scnlement.
Why you might ask?

A/ter a year and a half of incessant chatting about a myriad of subjects ranging from swing dancing
to the rise and fall of arena football. Wayne is convinced hc's found his true soul matc in an internet

chat room and hc s travelling across thc continent to be with hm in her little cabin under the big,
bright sta/g of the Lone Star State's endless evening skies.
Well, Wayne, we wish you only the best of luck, bccsusc "cutiepiel 26" is really a 54 year old
trucker named Mort.
a Wayne: Have you seen the ultimate accessories and peripherals atCDD.corn?

International Data Corp. (Canada) Ltd., says

many large companies have reported being
hacked in the last l2 months, sometimes by people looking for sensitive corporate information.
"We did not drill down into specifics, (but)
it does point to the fact that there are intru-

sions... that arehappeningand on a fairly large

scale," McLean says.
ln order to combat this, many companies
are now starti
ng to develop comprehensive
security procedures to protect against attacks
&om both the outside and inside.

Aozgtkncguoztl ppoblnns?
There is some argument that what makes
cyber-terrorism Fossil>le is not simply the

individuals, groups or foreign intelligence

agencies bent on doing harm, it's the computing architecture itself, which is inherently vulnerable to attack
Austin, Tex.-based, intelligence consulting

Brm, stratfarcom (fnp//ww

wSzodurmm/), points
out in an analysis on its Web site that the PCs of
today were never meant to be connected to other

machinesand the Internet. They were meant to

be usedby themsdvesand bya single individuaL
so security was never a priority. Once linked, PCs
and the networks that saon sprang up amund
them, were open to attacks that would be hard to
trace and stop. ContriTxuting to this vulnerability
is the fact that the underlying archhecture of the
system is not transparent to anyone. Even
experts can be undear about what exactly is

goingon under the hood. This makesit hard to

Bnd ag the holes and breachesthat exist in a network, and dose them down.
Terrorists, extremist groups and criminals
have now come to understand what many l5-

year-old hackers know tao welL it is surpris-

ingly easy to write a simple program or get into

a system and do a lotofdamage because of the
way operating systems and networks are construted today.
"A teenage kid can knock out hundreds of
corporatesystems because the foundation of

modern computing. the operadng system, has

been in rapid,forced development since the
success of MS-DOS. It was designed for one
user who would treat it right... Security
requires a complete re-engineering of the
operatingsystem," advises Stratfor.corn.
As the analysts at Stratfor.corn are quick to
emphasize,arogue statedoesno tneed to launch
a nudear attack in order to in8ict damage onto

another country. AB it needs to do is launch a

wellp)aced virus snd down come thesystems.
"But how do we retaliate against a virus
attack? We depend on computers. They
