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.

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 initial scanning and OCR for the
30 cards was completed in about eight
minutes,'and the balance was spent
checking the information.
Of the group, i3 cards needed OCR
correction, and only 10 were entirely
ermr-free.
That might sound like a high error rate,
but most were minor. A common source
of OCR error was postal codes

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

Vancouver-based Absolute Software

AbsoluteTrack.
The service u ses A bsolute's
Computrace platform, and is targeted
at small- to medium-sized businesses
that need to track their remote,
mobile
,and desktop PC assets,aswell
as manage inventory daily. For larger
companiesthat have an asset management system, AbsolutaTrack provides
an inventory module that can track
remote and mobile computers.
According to the company.
Absolut
eTrack helps ITstaff manage
software licences, computer leases,
machine configurations, PC retirement,
hardware and software upgrades, and

been added to it,forexample.
In addition, Absolute says,the new
service can help prevent computer loss
and monitor security policy violations.
The Computrace platform used in the
service is comprised ofsoftware
installed on PC hard drives that sends
notifications to the Absolute monitoring centre when the computer is
oniine.The user is not aware that the
PCs IP address, phone number. and
otherdata points are being transmitted. This allows administrators to collectasset data and companies to track

"A small business can query this information any time of the day along with the

we offer discounts on services with Dell

"When we asked where they would like

the hours are poor. What they told us was
that the place they enjoyed the shopping
experience was at Staples. So at Staples we
are creating a onestop shopping environment where they can get their supplies
