Editorrsquos Desk TopAnne Greiner Managing EditorEditorrsquos Desk Top

Anne GreinerPresidentrsquos LetterPresidentrsquos LetterYou may notice that this edition is a

little smaller than usual this monthand considerably smaller than last

month which contained all those pages andpages of accounts and financial reportsthat we print each year We print these notonly because we are obliged to bylegislation but also because thecommittee is accountable to the membersand has an obligation to inform thatmembership of the steps taken in thatgovernance

The committee is elected by the groupas a whole and undertakes to run thegroup on behalf of the members I havehad occasion recently to discuss variouspolitical frameworks and have come to theconclusion that the PCUG most resemblesthe Government of the United States ofAmerica in that a very small proportion ofthe population (read membership) votesto elect its government In the USA it is

somewhere between 12 and 16 of theeligible voters Amazing that a in countrythat size that prides itself on its democraticfreethinking that only 16 of the eligiblevoting population actually cares enoughto vote You may be surprised to realisethat at the recent PCUG Annual GeneralMeeting 016 of the eligible membershipvoted to elect the current committee

Now there are several conclusions thatcan be drawn about both the internationaland parochial cases here First and mostobvious is that most of the population justdoesnrsquot care Tempting as this hypothesisis I really donrsquot believe that this is thesituation in either the US of A or thePCUG On the other hand it could be saidthat the constituencymembers have suchgreat confidence in the candidates whopresent themselves for office that there isabsolutely no need to vote and the wholeelection is a foregone conclusion I must

say that as one of the officers up forelection last month I infinitely prefer thesecond hypothesis but am reluctantlyforced to the conclusion that the truthprobably lies on a sliding scale somewherebetween the two extremes and that itprobably varies along that scale from yearto year depending on circumstances

The committee this coming year has avery wide range of ages has males andfemales and has students employedpeople and retired people We havetechnical expertise ranging from expert tonewbie and political beliefs right acrossthe board Like any group of 14 or sopeople we will not always agree abouteverything We have had some veryvigorous debates in the past on sensitiveissues such as membership fee rises andcategories of concessional membershipsand will undoubtedly have issues in thefuture that will cause dissent What I can

The veryfirst thing I need to say this

month is that my tale of woe lastmonth was definitely not a

complaint about Microsoft I stronglysuspect that my inability to load Office2000 at that time was due to a number offactors including the fact that hard diskspace is at a premium on my system andeven though I had the minimum requiredthe install process may have been a wholelot happier with a little more leeway Isnrsquotit funny how most of us donrsquot actually dothe electronic housekeeping tillbludgeoned into it I say lsquomost of usrsquo herebecause I know a few ineffably smugpeople who would never have let theirsystems get into that state in the firstplace and who take far too much pleasurein telling me so Oh well I suppose I donrsquot(really) mind about being hung out on the

line as an awful example of how not to dosome things I guess I can comfort myselfwith the fact that there are other peopleout there that still have some thousands(and no I am not saying how manythousands) of old emails stashed awayOne never knows when one might needto consult one of them and as for thegraphics files and the fonts and some ofthose wav files etc etc the least saidthe better but the same applies I will beruthless absolutely ruthless when thegreat electronic Agean cleanup comes

Now back to Microsoft The PCUGowes a large debt of gratitude to MicrosoftOver past years Microsoft has been verygenerous with the group Have younoticed that the vast majority of doorprizes come from Microsoft Over the past12 months alone Microsoft has donatedwell in excess of $10000 worth of softwareto the group There was $1200 worth ofsoftware (Office 2000) given away at theAugust meeting alone and many othersmaller packages have arrived They havealso donated software for use by theeditorial team and software for reviewThey have recently donated a copy of

Windows NT Server (over $1000) to allowus to update the BBS Microsoft are alsoparticularly generous in allowing us tobuy one copy of their products but thengiving us multiple licences for use on allthe training machines So think even asyou are uttering that Microsoft joke thinkabout it What software are you using onyour machine at home at work in thetraining room at the PCUG Centre Evensome of our most diehard proponents ofother proprietary packages have beenknown to use Office to distributeinformation to other users

Soon we may well have softwaretolerance being taught right along therewith racial and religious and politicaltolerance to our children at home and atschool Instead of ldquoNah Irsquom a Cruiser manbeen a Cruiser man all me lifersquo one willhear lsquoNah Irsquom a Red Hat sort of guyrsquoand some one else say lsquoNah votedMicrosoft all me life matersquo

When the last trump sounds and allthose cryonically preserved popsicles arethawed out will they have the vaguestidea of what the current generation aretalking about

Dear Anne

As a follow up to Janette Lindesayrsquos articlein the October edition about genealogy on theinternet readers may like to know that theBritish Telecom directories are available on theinternet now at wwwbtcom

Cynthia Worringham

IMPORTANT NOTICE - The GST starts to bite

First the bad news PCUG Membership fees will be subject to the GST They willtherefore have to rise by 10

And now for the worse news

The PCUG is already incurring GST on memberships It happens this way

PCUG membership is for 12 months Some part of every new and renewed membershipsince 1 July 1999 is in respect of the period after 30 June 2000 It is that part of themembership that is subject to GST The amount of GST in respect of that part of thememberhip will have to be paid after 30 June 2000

Reluctantly the Committee has raised membership fees to incorporate the GST thatwill have to be paid in respect of periods after 30 June 2000Why doesnrsquot the schedule of membership fees work from the day on joining Wellthere is alays a period ogf grace allowed for renewals of membership You have until theend of the month in which you joined to renew Counting the renewal or joining astherefore starting at the beginning of the next month means that GST is payable forwhole months only

GST will also be payable in respect of the unexpired portion of TIP access when 30June 2000 rolls around

We intend to handle TIP in this way

1 Any usage after 1 July 2000 will be subject to GST2 On 30 June 2000 we will calculate for each TIP subscriber the value of their

outstanding TIP credits3 The amount of the outstanding credits will be notionally refunded to each

subscriber4 Each subscriber will then be notionally credited with new TIP access credits for

the amount of 1011 ths of his or her outstanding credit

5 The value of the other 111 th will be sent to the ATO to cover the 10 GST on theTIP access being used after 1 July 2000

This method ensures that all access prior to 1 July is GST free and all after is GSTpaid TIP subscribers will just have to renew a little earlier

The new fees are $5500 $3500 $2500GST pa $550 $350 $250

Subject Re PCUG Fees + GSTDate Wed 13 Oct 1999 014144 +1000From Anne Greiner ltagreinerpcugorgaugtNewsgroups tipgeneral

(in answer to an enquirey as to why we had topay GST now)

Eleanor if I were to renew my PCUGmembership now ie October I would bepaying for membership for November 1999through to October 2000 I pay my moneyto Petra for the full 12 months

PCUG does not have to pay GST onmy subscriptions for November throughto June 2000 but does have to pay GST ofthe part of that yearly membership fee thatcovers

If I have not given Petra sufficient extramoney to cover the GST charges on thatpart of my sub that covers July to October2000 the PCUG will be out of pocket afterit pays the GST to the ATO This worksout at less that 50 cents a month for me(about $185 for those 4 months) butremember we have round about 3000members and for a full year PCUC wouldhave to pay a little over $15000 in GSTwhich it just cannot afford

I believe we are required to pay theATO every 3 months but our Treasurerhas all those details well in handRegardsAnne

I am sitting here beside the pool insteamy Kuala Lumpur contemplatinghow I came to agree to Anne Greinerrsquos

request to write a few lines for Sixteen Bits( it must have been the lateness of thehour that caught me off guard )

Three years ago I bought my firstcomputer All the ldquo How to buy aComputer ldquo magazines suggest that oneshould have an idea about what thismachine will be used for before partingwith the cash I didnrsquot have a clue I justwanted one Once I had it home and upand running I still had no idea what to dowith it So I joined PCUG The articles inSixteen Bits were interesting and althoughI didnrsquot understand everything - still donrsquot- I virtually read it from cover to cover

Surfing the Net seemed to be the wayto go Everyone was ldquo on it ldquo so I appliedfor advanced access and my lovelyneighbour got it all set up for me Now Iwas connected but still had no idea whatto do ( for each of the first two years Ihad in excess of 200 hours of unused time) I really used my computer as a glorifiedtypewriter and the difference between afile and a folder still leaves me lookingsomewhat blank

I now discovered e-mail I tested thefirst one on my neighbour who had spentmany hours explaining and fixing thingsin response to my SOS calls I felt verypleased with my accomplishment

Now I had opened Pandorarsquos Box andthere was no stopping me I wanted tocheck every five minutes to see ldquo if I hadmail ldquo

Then fate stepped in and in the spaceof a few short months I lost my husbandand my daughter Heidi and son in lawLiam moved to Malaysia E-mail became alife line and we were in contact dailyexchanging long notes

High on my list of interests had beengenealogy Now the Internet came intoits own I subscribed to a couple ofnewsgroups and lurked for quite a fewmonths With the help of a friend in CanadaI had made quite good progress in tracingmy family history but had hit a brick wall

( due to the bending of the truth by mygrandparents )

I sat and contemplated what horriblefate was likely to befall me if I sent a requestto a newsgroup for all the world to seeLiterally breathless with panic I pluckedup the courage to post a message andwaited to be struck down Almostinstantly there it was on the screen Ireceived three replies from that postingTwo of them were no connection but thethirdEureka ( thatrsquos the genealogy warcry when one is successful ) Contact wasmade with family in Wales who had noidea of our existence I now progressedto receiving photographs via the netWhat a thrill Of course Liam had givenme instruction in point form on just howto go about this task

Emboldened by thissuccess I joined theNorfolk UK mailing listand jumped in feet firstand posted a request forinformation on the nameI was researching Theresult I havediscovered a cousin inCanada and with themissing pieces of thepuzzle I was able tosupply we can now tracethis line back for ninegenerations He sent itall to me via Gedcom AsI donrsquot understand theworkings of this systemI was very sensible andhad the file sent here toKL so that Liam can doall the work

While helping meunravel my family treeLiam became hookedhimself and we havewonderful exchanges ofinformation on best sitesand new finds He hasprogressed from notknowing the names of hisgrandparents to havingover 800 family memberson his data base Like me

he has made lovely e-mail ldquo pen friends ldquofrom all parts of the globe

Now came the biggest thrill On the7th August 1999 on the secondanniversary of my husbandrsquos death mylittle grandson was born in MalaysiaWithin hours of his birth I had my firstglimpse of him courtesy of e-mail Notquite as good as being there but close

My youngest daughter Stephaniepresented me with another grandson sixdays later which brings me to the reasonfor speaking to Anne in the first place Ididnrsquot want to miss anything re my mailinglists while I was away meeting the newesttwigs on the family tree and so I soughtAnnersquos advice which was given mostcheerfully despite the lateness of the hour

Researching and genealogy on theInternet has helped me cope with a hugelife style change and checking my mail andexploring new Web sites has become adaily ritual I now make contact quite oftenwith family and friends in America andMalaysia when we happen to be online atthe same time via a programme called ICQ

I am slow but Irsquom learning Liam is currently using Family Tree

Maker to record his research and thefollowing comments are from him

Jan and I started with a simple programcalled Family Tree (V15) which allowedyou to create a family tree and enter alimited amount of information onindividuals such as birth christeningmarriage death and burial details It alsoallows you to import a photograph for mostof these occasions which is a terrific buzzThe important aspect of it which we wereboth to find out later was that it wasGEDCOM compatible GEDCOM is astandard genealogy file format that wasdeveloped by the Mormons If yourprogram is ldquoGEDCOM compatiblerdquo thatmeans that it will allow your data to betransferred to other genealogy softwarewith supposedly little effort and loss ofinformation I wouldnrsquot recommendbuying any program that is not GEDCOMcompatible as the amount of data you

collect can get quite large and the lastthing you want to do is re-enter it all everytime you upgrade to a new program whichbelieve me you will want to do

However exciting it was to watch thefamily tree develop over time we quicklydiscovered that Family Tree V15 was quitelimited for storing lots of information onindividuals and we personally found itwas not particularly user-friendly Sohaving developed a bit of a sense for whatit was that we were wanting I stepped upinvestigations into other more advancedprograms I was amazed how many therewere Some of the best ones are reportedto be Brotherrsquos Keeper (BK) The MasterGenealogist (TMG) Family Tree Maker(FTM) Roots etc I must admit it wasdifficult to decide what to go with Mostif not all are available in a demonstrationversion so you can have a lot for yourselfJust look up the above names in anysearch engine on the web and you willfind their associated web sites from whichyou can download

In the end I settled on FTM (V60)mainly because it was rated as the No1program (in terms of sales I believe) Allprograms have their positive and negativepoints but I believe FTM is a good startingprogram for most budding genealogistsIt is simple to use itrsquos quite cheap (if you

download the demo version from theirwebsite and then purchase the 2-CDversion directly from them itrsquos onlyUS$3990) I wouldnrsquot recommendpurchasing the 8-CD version unless youthink you have a lot of relatives in theUSA as the extra CDrsquos are just data CDrsquosfor US records They may come in handyfor some but I believe they have next tono information on Australian records

Another good thing about FTM isthat they have a well established websitewith much feedback from users so youcan review what problems others arehaving using it There seems to be goodtechnical support from the developersalso I had an early ldquoout of memoryrdquoproblem using FTM and discovered manyways to overcome this from theirdiscussion database on their website

My advice would be to not worry toomuch about the program yoursquore using inthe beginning you will soon find your feetwith any of them Just make sure to keepgood records of the information yougather I didnrsquot in the beginning and Irsquompaying for it now Happy researchingeveryone amp


First just a couple of definitions1Gravity - That which keeps our feetfirmly on the ground (or the density of thewort that determines the alcoholic contentof the fermented beer) 2Light - As in lsquotosee the lightrsquo or the opposite of lsquodarkrsquo

Most people know that if you canaccelerate a rocket missile spacecraftwhatever to a sufficiently high velocity itcan escape the force of earthrsquos gravity andset off into outer space On the otherhand if you could have launched theprojectile from the moon then the requiredldquoescape velocityrdquo would have been lowersimply because the moonrsquos gravity islower than that of earthrsquos Similarlyescaping from a more massive planet suchas Jupiter would require a much higherescape velocity

So does this mean that we can set offinto the wide blue yonder from any planetno matter how great itrsquos gravitational pullWell actually no we canrsquot

Enter my old pal Albert Einstein (Wewere both Patent Examiners) Oneafternoon tea-break Albert scribbled awayon the back of an envelope for a while andthen announced that he had just written aproof that light always travels at a fixedvelocity of 186000 miles per second Heelaborated that if in fact you took asearchlight up to Mars pointed it at Earthand turned it on it would take about tenminutes before we actually saw it light upWell we took his word for it finished ourtea and went back to examining ournavelsrsquoer I mean our patents

The next afternoon Albert indulged insome further scribbling and thenannounced that he had written a furtherproof that it was impossible for anythingto travel faster than light He was right ofcourse and therersquos the catch

If you try to launch anything into spacefrom a body that has such a largegravitation ldquopullrdquo that itrsquos escape velocity

ALL YOUrsquoLL EVER WANT (OR NEED) TO KNOW ABOUTALL YOUrsquoLL EVER WANT (OR NEED) TO KNOW ABOUTALL YOUrsquoLL EVER WANT (OR NEED) TO KNOW ABOUTALL YOUrsquoLL EVER WANT (OR NEED) TO KNOW ABOUTALL YOUrsquoLL EVER WANT (OR NEED) TO KNOW ABOUT

is greater than the speed of light yoursquod bespitting against the wind It just canrsquot bedone because you canrsquot get it moving fastenough Not even light itself (at 186k milessec) can escape - thatrsquos why we canrsquot seesuch a body Any light it may have cannotescape from its gravitational force Wecan of course see the effect it has on otherbodies and the way it deflects light fromother bodies so we know that somethingis there - we just canrsquot see it Itrsquos a blackhole

So how does a black hole get there Ihear you cry And what happens if we

get caught in one

Well thatrsquos another story of course

A new computer to run as a newproxy server has now beenordered and may be operating by

the time this Sixteen Bits is publishedHopefully this will enable us the solve theproblem of ldquoForwarding denied siblingrelationship rdquo that has exasperated mostof us The problem is caused by a slightincompatibility between the proxysoftware run by us and our peering partnerInteract As often happens in computingthe error message is less than helpful andin my opinion anyway quite wrong

This episode has also highlighted thefact that many TIP users do not bother toread the information provided by theadmin team The details of this ldquosiblingrelationshiprdquo problem and a work aroundwere posted to the tipannounce

newsgroup and on the TIP and PCUGhome pages However users continuedto ask about this ldquostrange problemrdquo andcomplain when they received a shortsharp response We always suggest thatall users should read at least thetipannounce newsgroup to see what ishappening with the system While themotto of the PCUG is ldquoUsers HelpingUsersrdquo the most useful form of help isoften self help

Windows 95 is not dead and judging bythe amount of support available it seemsto be guaranteed a long tenure yet It hasbeen significantly updated since itsrelease and is constantly being kept up todate Microsoft lists six separate versionsof Windows 95 with the version numbersand basic file dates in the following table

Knowing your version number isessential to safe updating as it is easy todegrade the operating system by applyingthe wrong update patch I have done itwhen I applied a Win95 update to myToshiba laptop from the Toshibahomepage Now I am more careful where Iget my updates and what I read aboutthem Among other differences updatefiles will invariably have a higher versionnumber and more recent date than theoriginal files But then who commonlychecks file version numbers ndash even when

they are available I checked the date afterthe disaster

To determine your Windows versionright click on My Computer and then leftclick on Properties My OSR2 reportsversion 400950B which is common butmy basic file dates are correct at 24 August1996 Except of course for those I have

since updatedUpdating from Microsoft is

the safest way to do it as theirupdates include a tool that checksfor applicability But other sitesare friendlier more informativeand often more easily accessible

The Update Information Tool thatMicrosoft uses is Qfecheckexe notpresent in Win98 where QFE stands forQuick-Fix Engineering Qfecheck reads theregistry and installed file versions todetermine what updates are installed onthe computer whether update files aremissing and whether registry informationmatches that of installed files It isavailable independently from httpsuppor t mic roso f t comdownload supportmslfilesQFECHKUPEXE

It is interesting to note that myWindows version number appearscorrectly here on the Registered Updatessheet Not all system update files appearin the registry and these can be foundthrough the Updated Files Found tabWhile all this might be fascinating to someof us you do not need Qfecheck to getyour system updated and keep it that wayif you are not comfortable using utilitieslike thisI have two main sites that I regularly visitto keep up to date and without prejudiceI will recommend them to youbull The best structured is probablythe Windows 95 Update Centre at httpwwwwinmagcomwin95update95htmWith the backing it has it must be aresponsible site At the time of writing itfeatures updates for the Media Player Y2Kand the Dial-Up Networking 13 moduleamongst others The media player may notinterest you but nobody should still beaccessing the Internet with less that thelatest dial-up networking software TheY2K problem is still around even inWindows 98 and is everyonersquos concernLinks to Microsoft open up to a new IE401 Service Pack 1 that I downloaded andcan thoroughly recommend to those ofyou who are reluctant to make the leap to

IE5 and to grouped and graded packagesfor updating from the various versions ofWin95 You will get a lot of value fromhere with very little probability ofdifficulty And you will have Microsoftholding your hand for the really criticalstuffbull WINDOWS 95 SYSTEMUPDATES at wwwwalbeehmcom Thishas VERY detailed notes from a highlyrespected site about many updates inwhich the author is specific about theiruse and misuse with advice on when NOT

to install them Essential reading I wish Ihad found this page before I got myselfinto trouble He reveals limitations inQfecheck and fixes them in his ownprogram called ListQFE He dissects theDial-Up Networking 13 module and laysits bones bare for general perusal Heactively and profitably employs links torelated Newsgroups other Win95 pagesand the Microsoft Knowledge Base andwrites forms to make access easy for usThis is not bedtime reading but is a greatsource of information

I canrsquot tell you what updates youshould install on your system That is anindividual choice whose spectrum rangesfrom lsquoIf it ainrsquot broke donrsquot fix itrsquo to lsquoIrsquovealways got to have the latestrsquo But certainlythese two sites will open up avenues andopportunities to explore a wide balancedchoice

Finally I suppose the ultimate upgradeto Windows 95 is Windows 98 and therethe whole routine starts all over again withmany of us already running Win98 SE(Second Edition) And Windows 2000 isalready running on some computers andjust over the horizon for rest of us

WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITIONLast month I referred to my installingWindows 98 Second Edition The firstproblem I struck was the failure ofNotepad to open Now I had installed thefreeware NotePad+ a replacement forMicrosoftrsquos Notepad as described byTerry Bibo in Julyrsquos 16 Bits I first thoughtI should uninstall NotePad+ but of courseI could not read the text file associatedwith it which tried to load into notepadSo I opened it in Word This did not helpme directly but it did give me the idea tolook at the properties of notepadexe thatwas if I had thought about it MicrosoftrsquosNotepad reinstalled by Windows Simplyreplacing it by the NotePad+ exe file (samename notepadexe so Windows would notknow it had a cuckoo in the nest) had itworking as good as ever

That has me slightly worried as someprograms especially those that purportto be better than Billrsquos masterpiecefrequently change original Windows filesHow many more timebombs are tickingaway in my Windows

And for those who do not know howto look at the properties of a file simplyright click on it with the mouse and thevery last option is ldquoPropertiesrdquo Click onldquoPropertiesrdquo and all is revealed

CD ROM DRIVE TRAYThe CD Rom drive has a button on the

front to eject the tray The tray can bereturned either by using the eject buttonor by gently pushing it in I have beenpushing it in but recently I read that theeject button should be used as pushing itin may cause problems with some drivesItrsquos up to you what you do but no hardshipto use the button Remove your coffeecup first (Joke in case I give somebodya bad idea)

MAINTAINING THE HEALTH OF YOURCOMPUTER

Why is it that when I start to writeabout something one of the popular PCmagazines comes out with an article onthe same subject This time itrsquos PC USER(August September October 99) tellingitrsquos readers how to use Microsoftrsquos utilityprograms for Windows 98 The author ofthat article is more knowledgable than I

am and he covers most of the utilitiesprovided by your friendly mega billionaireI will just write about the ones I use andhow I use them

Windows 98 has a MaintenanceWizard He (Wizards are male arenrsquot they)is launched by selecting Start Programs Accessories System Tools MaintenanceWizard Using the Maintenance Wizardyou select certain maintenance tasks tobe carried out automatically at a selectedtime The task the Maintenance Wizarddoes is by no means a complete list - onlythe basic tasks I hope you are notexpecting me to tell you how to set him upbecause I am not My maintenance tasksI usually do once a week on a SaturdayHow often you carry out thesemaintenance tasks depends upon theamount of time you use your computerand the things you use it for If you justwrite the occasional letter maybe everysix months is not too infrequent On theother hand I use mine daily and am a suckerfor utilities claimed to be just what everyuser needs And the discs included withPC Magazines give me great pleasureMind you these U Beaut utilities rarelylive up to the hype though the occasionalone warrants a place on my hard driveThe others finish up where they shouldhave been in the first place in the bin SoI try and go through my maintenanceroutine once a week

I have written about my desktopfolders Among the folders is my utilityfolder that includes a ldquoHard DiskMaintenancerdquo folder and a ldquoRegistry andFile Maintenancerdquo folder These twofolders contain shortcuts to maintenanceroutines You know all about short cutsThey are icons which when clicked openthe item - which can be a file or folder -associated with them The icon can beanywhere you want to put it To make ashortcut for a file or a folder click on itwith the right mouse button click onldquoCreate Shortcutrdquo and a shortcut to thefile or folder appears You can tell it is ashortcut by the little ldquosrdquo at the bottom lefthand corner of the new icon It is alsouseful to be able to rename these icons tosomething you understand so you willknow what the program does or the folder

contains To rename something you clickon it with the right mouse button and selectldquoRenamerdquo - try it yourself but rememberto press ldquoenterrdquo after you rename it Thatright mouse button is handy

Before I actually use these routines Idelete all files in the various TEMP folderson my hard drives You will probably havea number of temp folders like I have invarious places on your hard discs If youdo not know where they are a search inStartFind for Temp will tell you and youmay find them full of junk especially ifyou are in the habit of trying differentprograms Then clear your Recycle BinsA word of warning here If you havedeleted files that you may later find youwant (I know I know how do you know if

GENEALOGYLooking at the GENEALOGY

NEWSGROUPS is one way to improveyour knowledge and to get almost instantanswers to your problems Note I saidldquoproblemsrdquo - not answers to your research

I subscribe to four and it is recommendedthat before you contribute either bymaking an enquiery or answering anenquiery lurk Now a ldquolurkerrdquo is someonewho reads but does not contribute to thenewsgroup

And why should you lurk Well afterlooking at a newsgroup for some time youwill notice that there are a number ofpersons who are knowledgeable andfrequently answer questions You will alsonotice that some questions are repeatedlyasked It is also noticeable thatoccasionally one of the knowledgeablepersons is flamed and VERY noticeablethat the person flaming is usually one whohas never answered a question andfrequently is a newcomer to the groupThese ldquoflamersrdquo are usually personswithout a sense of humour andor of adifferent nationality and unable tounderstand the nuances of the languageBy lurking you will get to know how toask a question and importantly what notto ask

Genealogy is about research Yourresearch Do not expect to get instantanswers and expect others to do yourresearch for you if you are capable and ina position to do it Some examples fromldquosocgenealogybritainrdquo

I am new to this and researching myname SMITH Could someone please giveme all the information on the name SmithSurprising as it seems some peoplebelieve that somewhere somehow detailsof their ancestry is waiting for them topluck from this mythical somewhere

These are actual questions asked andthe same or similar questions are askedfrom time to time Always give as muchdetail as you know such as location fullnames etc By lurking you will get thefeel of the group learn a lot and not askquestions which show you have notbothered to read a beginners guide togenealogy or do any research yourself It amp

is quite acceptable to ask a ldquohowrdquoquestion It is not ignorance but lazinessthat is not liked Also if someone has adisability that prevents him or her fromactive research saying so will get themhelp

There are many genealogynewsgroups and the ones you shouldsubscribe to are the ones that relate toyour research How do you know whatthey are I imagine all or most browsersallow you to quickly search thenewsgroups that TIP or your ISP haveaccess to In my case I use AGENT Thisis how it is done in Agent and if you donot use Agent you will have to puzzle itout for yourself or get someone whoknows your browser to help you It is notimpossible but tedious to look at thenewsgroup list

Before you do this download the fulllist of newsgroups While online and withAgent loaded click on OnlineRefreshGroups List My list has over 31000 in itwhich shows I have not updated it latelyas the Webmaster of TIP has gonethrough and deleted half of them the onesunlikely to be requested If you know of ageny newsgroup that is not in the listperhaps if you ask your Webmaster nicelyhe may add it for you

I read with interest comments by ChessCrawczyk on the Y2K bug I agree withmost of his comments having recently

come to similar conclusions myself TheY2K for PC owneroperators is real buthas achieved the size of an ocean ratherthan a muddy pothole Chess addressedthe hardware checks and I felt itappropriate to address the OperatingSystem and applications in a little moredetail

I came to my conclusions when I hadreason to look at the Y2K bug for anorganization Only date sensitiveapplications would be critically affectedThese applications include financialbooking and planning applications Idiscounted word processors since anydate problems here would be more of anannoyance rather than a business killerThe real problem lay with majororganizations and their old main framesSome innovative ideas to set the clockback 7 years seemed on the face of it agood idea I suggest the caveat is providedyou cleared away all previous data fromafter that date to prevent overwriting andensure that all your applications functioncorrectly go for it I understand someapplications are date conscious and may

refuse to function on the basis they arenot yet born sort of Forward to the Past

Firstly I considered the hardware theprimary problem since it affects theunderlying date reference I ended upcategorizing hardware into compliantpartially compliant and non-compliantThe first requires no explanation The

partial compliance is hardware thatrecognized 2000 and following leap yearscorrectly but is unable to automaticallyrollover to 2000 However they are ableto recognize 2000 when the CMOS clockis manually reset This should not be aproblem for PCUG members I suspectsome early attempts at compliance causedall years beyond 2000 to be set as leapyears It is not a problem for most businesscomputers except for business (mission)critical servers that are required to remainoperative during the roll over periodIndividual businesses would need toevaluate this problem based on their ownneeds Otherwise shut down before theNew Year break and then manually resetthe partially compliant computers at bootup after the break say 2 minutes percomputer Minimal costs are involved

A funny thought crossed my mindreading comments in Chess C articleImagine a traveller arriving at an airlinecheck in desk on the 29 February 2000 onlyto be told the day did not exist becausethe computer said so

Back to software Microsoft and mostother major software vendors list all theirsoftware and its degree of complianceWindows generate their own calendarsbut rely on the underlying clocks beingaware 2000 exists not necessarilycompliant Microsoft is probably the mostimportant since most of us love it or hateit use DOS or a flavour of Windows Later

versions are generally compliant withldquominor issuesrdquo Minor issues seem tocome about from the use of a sliding

window of dates such that two digit datessay between 1930 and 2029 are handledimplicitly eg 21 is recognised as 2021 not1921

I chose to ignore word processingsince in their unmodified form they are notdate critical The worst that could happenis an inserted date would require manualmodification It is not going to causecatastrophic problems except perhaps inlegal or financial agreements

For Windows 9x and NT you shouldset the system date to use 4 digits in itsshort date format The following is a guideto ensure your short date uses 4 digityears Start the correction by left clickingon Start|Settings|Control Panel|RegionalSettings The Figures below are from NT4 Win 9x format seems to be the sameCheck the regional settings tab (Fig1)displays ldquoEnglish (Australian)rdquo and thenselect the Date Tab In the short dateGroup (Fig 2) ensure the short date hasldquoyyyyrdquo rather than ldquoyyrdquo If there is noldquoyyyyrdquo forms select the basic format youlike and then edit it to contain ldquoyyyyrdquoWhile this will not guarantee no problemsit should minimise any that may occur

For those who are dyed in the woolDOS aficionados I believe Microsoft hasreleased upgraded executables for datesensitive core programs in DOS

For date sensitive applications (sayspreadsheets) ensure that you formatyears as 4 digits and then ensure that 2digit dates are handled as intended eg 01is recognised as 2001 rather than 1901 Ifall else fails take the extra effort to enter 4digit dates and sleep easier Then at leastthe educated of us can correctly enjoy thenew millennium in 2001 Unfortunatelymost media morons have not realised orhave conveniently forgotten there was noyear zero only year 1 Last time I subtracted1 from 2000 I got 1999 Hence 2 millenniaare not up until 2001 even the Victorianmedia were smarter than the current mob

I may be cynical but the primary gainfor Y2K PC compliance seems to be forcompliant and software hardware salesStill any excuse to upgrade that ancient 2year old beast on or under the desk Isuggest the reality of the Y2K problem islikely to be an anti climactic flea bite ratherthan a civilisation threatening funnel webspider bite unless the nuclear weaponspeople get it wrong

Robyn Williams Towards the end ofnext month the Prime MinisterrsquosScience Council will sit to consider

a subject vital to Australiarsquos future Thepublic awareness of science itself Here tooffer a few thoughts in advance of themeeting is Berry Anne Billingsley

Berry Anne Billingsley OK are youready for this What does a scientist looklike Aha Itrsquos a trick question isnrsquot it Weall know the right answer to this Ascientist isnrsquot an old man with white wiryhair and glasses wearing a lab coat Ohno A scientist could be a young man oreven female

So what do you think you get if youask a bunch of schoolchildren to draw ascientist I tried it out today and they drew(wait for it) old men with lab coats andglasses and wiry hair Why After all ourefforts to tell them that scientists areordinary people why did they do that Assomeone who works in education I wascut to the core So I asked them lsquoWhatrsquosthisrsquo lsquoItrsquos a mad scientistrsquo said one lsquoArescientists really madrsquo I asked My artistlooked dismayed lsquoNorsquo he told me blanklyFeeling heartened I persevered lsquoAnd doall scientists wear glassesrsquo I asked lsquoSomedorsquo came back the reply as if in defence ofthe colourful caricatures they werepresenting lsquoAnd are they all menrsquo Iventured lsquoNorsquo chorused the class Andthen as if repeating a phrase theyrsquod heardmany times they chimed up lsquoScientistsare just ordinary peoplersquo I felt smug for amoment lsquoThen why did you draw mad menin lab coatsrsquo I asked them Theyshrugged as if to say lsquoWell what else isthere to drawrsquo These kids knew what ascientist looks like but if you were agedeight and given the option would youdraw someone who looks like your mumor would you get carried away with blackglasses and wild hair It stands to reasonif you ask a computer-literate youngsterto draw something they draw you an iconYes an icon These kids are used to seeingcartoon symbols on the screens of theircomputers and as they scour their mindsfor an icon of a scientist then the madboffin is what comes to mind

I too grew up knowing what a scientistlooks like My father is a scientist He haswhite wiry hair spectacles on the end ofhis nose He points his finger when hegets excited hersquos so intelligent hesometimes scares people and hersquoscertainly a little mad about his robots Theugly truth is I was parented by astereotype

But credit where itrsquos due he broughtme up to believe that I could too be ascientist So it wasnrsquot a stereotype hepromoted so much as personifiedAnyway back to the kids My experienceseemed to show that the media or theeducation system or whoever else isresponsible has done a jolly good job oftelling them what scientists are and arenrsquotAnd just to be really sure my finalquestion to them was lsquoWho here couldone day be a scientist Put your handsup if you think you couldrsquo Without apause to think up went the hands lsquoNahnothing to itrsquo

Can it be that wersquove done such a goodjob persuading kids that science is a cinchthat theyrsquove started to believe it

The more I think about it the more Ithink itrsquos true When I was a kid at schoolif you were a bit good at science which Iwas then you belonged to a secret clanwho had a different kind of brain toeveryone else lsquoDo you understand all thatstuffrsquo the uninitiated majority would sayadmiringly lsquoI dorsquo I would say with half-closed eyelids Back then science waslike magic indeed scientists could weavemagic Eggs would be mysteriouslysucked into bottles green froth andpurple smoke would materialise frombeakers of unassuming looking liquidspens would appear to bend in waternewspapers would become amazinglyheavy when you tried to lift them with aruler This is how science was sold to ouryoungsters Why is it so Science hasthe answer But only the elite few canunderstand it

But that was then and this is nowScience is no longer presented as amystery tour or a magic show now itrsquos ascience of everyday life Science is all

around you Therersquos a science to hair dayand a science to skateboards Learn aboutfriction stiction gravitational potential andcentres of mass and hey you may be ableto skateboard better bounce higher on thetrampoline and balance better on yourbicycle

Back in my day we had an awe and arespect for science We knew that sciencewas always right When I was at universitythe only way to get a decent mark in aphysics practical was to get the rightanswer and to do that you rigged theresults Therersquos no way using theapparatus provided that a student couldcarry out the investigation as describedand get anything like the answer in thetextbook Components were missinginstrument needles were weighed downwith rust batteries were flat and crocodileclips were bent beyond usefulness Butas each group of students mysteriouslyproduced ever more accurate results therewas no reason for the lab technicians tocheck on the quality of the apparatus Andso the vicious circle continued The onlyway to pass was to work backward Firstyou looked up the answer in the bookthen you drew the straight line graph thenscattered some points around it and thendeduced what readings you should havetaken

But Irsquoll bet you now yoursquod get extramarks if you could find a flaw in theinvestigation

Science is common as muck now anditrsquos aimed at the everyday student Eventhe history of science is being rewrittento present science and scientists in a newdown-to-earth way Scientific discoverywas a noble affair great minds thinkinggreat thoughts It was dignified It wasEinstein with his faraway look It wasNewton under his apple tree

Todayrsquos portrayal of the history ofscience sees it as a much dirtier businessThese days we mix the stories of scientificstruggle and success with stories aboutscientific cheats and frauds and flukesPenicillin was discovered by accidentMilikan rigged his oil drop experimentThese days we know that no scientist


What does a scientist look like worth their salt does an experiment withan open mind No they know the answerthey want and thatrsquos the answer they get

There are countless examples outthere and we delight in reading aboutthem This shift hasnrsquot come about byaccident itrsquos a deliberate move to portrayscience more realistically to open it up tothe people Now science is for everyoneHow itrsquos all changed About ten years agoI wrote an article for New Scientist I cameacross it the other day The editor gave itthe title lsquoThe rise of scientific media slangrsquoI wasnrsquot sure I liked it but since it was myfirst article to get into the mag I wouldhave been happy to have it calledanything provided they put it in

Anyway the essence of the item wasto point out some of the wonderful wordgames that journalists come up with toget people interested in what was thenconsidered a dull subject There was lsquoacidrainrsquo instead of lsquoacidic precipitationrsquo lsquobigbangsrsquo lsquopancakesrsquo and lsquotest tube [Image]babiesrsquo

And then I stopped Thatrsquos odd Ithought you donrsquot hear that phrase lsquotesttube babyrsquo much these days Nowitrsquos IVF or in other words in vitrofertilisation How odd Donrsquot thepublic need to have their sciencejazzed up and watered down andsquashed into shape any more

When I started my journalisticcareer science was like Latin astrange language that could onlybe translated by scientists andhighly trained scientificjournalists like myself But 20years later and everyone thinksthey understand it Maybe peoplearenrsquot afraid of science any more Ialmost laugh as I say that Ofcourse people arenrsquot afraid ofscience Pah itrsquos all just theoriesisnrsquot it Science is made up byscientists and scientists can bewrong Sorry but theyrsquore justordinary people doing their jobwhich happens to be thinking andexperimenting and stuff But we allknow they also go shopping andhave holidays and drive the kidsto school and eat fish and chipson Fridays And of course theymake mistakes And when they do

wersquore not afraid to tell the scientists thattheyrsquove got it wrong

In the bad old days no-one was goingto argue about whether their prematurebaby should go into a newfangledincubator we were just thankful to haveit But now every punter has an opinionon whether Dolly should be clonedwhether tomatoes should be engineerednot to ripen whether money should bespent on space research or bionic ears

I was at a childrenrsquos playground at afast food restaurant the other day I waswatching my three-year-old and anotherkid racing each other up and down theplastic slide The other kidrsquos grandmothercame over to catch her man at the bottomAnd zap she got a shock I knew it wascoming I could see his hair sticking uplike an advert for a van der Graaf generatorAnd as he touched Granny his hairflopped back into place lsquoOwrsquo sheexclaimed lsquowhat caused thatrsquo The boyrsquosmother looked up from her newspaperlsquoFrictionrsquo she said as though thatexplained everything The grandmotherlooked unconvinced That was it With

that word the whole experience wasexplained I think not

To actually explain the shockscientifically requires you to call on anawful lot of scientific models First youneed the notion that matter consists ofatoms and that these atoms haveelectrons loosely tired to their cores Thenas the childrsquos bottom slides down the slideyou need to imagine that some of theseelectrons are rubbed off This creates acharged up child I always knew fast foodmade kids hyper

Anyway the child now has an electricalpotential relative to Earth When he comesin contact with the grandparent electronscharge off towards Earth to lower thepotential back to zero So where does thestabbing pain come in Do the electronsjump so quickly that they rip out flesh asthey go or at this stage does anothermodel get called in the notion that nervesspeak electrically to the brain and thatthis flow of electrons mimicked theelectrical signal of a distressed nerve oreven send some muscle into spasmAnxious to get it right I got on the phone

to one of my scientists friendsto give me his version of eventslsquoNorsquo he said lsquoeven this is notthe final explanationrsquo In thisexample Irsquom told the current istoo small to trigger a musclespasm but the voltage andhence the energy wersquore talkingabout is comparatively large Idonrsquot want to scare you but Ithink the number of 10000 voltscame up in the conversation Thetruth is horribly complicated Asthe electrons jump from oneplace to another they suddenlyrelease energy this energytransforms to heat the heatheats up the skin the nerves inthe skin detect the heat and senda message to the brain the brainreceives the message and themouth says lsquoOwrsquo

All in all that Mum did prettywell to sum the whole thing upin a single word donrsquot youthink

But my point isnrsquot so muchto question whether she wasaware of this web of


explanations so much as to point out howcomfortable she was with the idea ofcalling on a scientific term

Science has a whole new image thesedays So whatrsquos caused this shift Hereare a couple of things Irsquove noticed

Firstly we have much more time thesedays to think about things that donrsquotdirectly affect us Science has given ustechnology and technology has given ustime to take a break from scratching out aliving from the soil and now that we havethe time we find we can pontificate andphilosophise and hypothesise with thebest of them

It reminds me of that joke where theman says lsquoI make all the big decisions inmy house my wife makes the littledecisions what we should eat where thekids go to school where we should livewhere we should go on holidayrsquo Anywayhe goes on and on and on and then hesays lsquoAnd I decide whether we shouldhave a GST on food whether humans willever reach Pluto yes the more importantthingsrsquo

A second influence is moneyScientists who can promote themselvesand their science tend to get more fundingthan scientists who hide away in their labsScience used to be carried out in secret

by monks hidden in abbeys Now itrsquos bigbusiness Scientists are forced to take aninterest in self promotion When I startedin journalism I had to beg the scientiststo let me use analogies that ouch mightslightly distort their science Now thescientists are offering them up themselves

The ugly truth is that scientists are stillas weird and wonderful as ever and thatscience is still just as difficult tounderstand But now we think weunderstand it I suppose this is a goodthing but I canrsquot help but remember thatphrase lsquoA little knowledge is a dangerousthingrsquo

Meanwhile and more importantly forme whatrsquos going to happen to all thescientific journalists once wersquore notneeded to translate science Maybe wecould be redeployed Maybe since wersquovedone such a good PR job for science wecould be given the ultimate challenge wecould be asked to look at the most deadlymost secretive incomprehensible subjectand turn it into something friendlycomprehensible and interesting Irsquomtalking about Law

STEMS lets you have instant accessto any folder nested sub folderapplication utility or drive from a

hiding cursor-bump drop-down listanchored to the top of your screen

STEMS utilizes the Taskbarrsquos Toolbarsfunction in its origin but allows numerousindividual ldquoStemrdquo sub menu launch bariterations on the same horizontal Toolbarwithout stacking At the present Ipersonally have seven individual Stemiterations on a single width launch barsitting hidden in a drop-down at the topof my screen with room for more beforerunning into a scroll situation

Obviously setting STEMS up allowsone to remove lots of clutter from theDesktop and also from the Taskbar Itallows selecting various applicationsutilities folders nested subfolders etcto list under each individual STEMldquoheaderrdquo The speed comes from beingable to bump the drop down click on aStem header and immediately see a list ofwhat you have chosen to locate there

The following are just three examplesto get you started Use your imaginationand create other individual Stem menusto suit your own needs

Create 3 sets of foldersCSTEMSAPPLICATIONS STEMAPPSCSTEMSFOLDER STEMFOLDCSTEMSUTILITIES STEMUTES

Shortcuts to applications go into theAPPS subfolder

Shortcuts to often visited folders intothe FOLD subfolder

Shortcuts to utilities into the UTESsubfolder

Keep these subfolders with shortestpossible names to allow more room formore individual additional Stems to belocated across the STEMS bar

Next working from the desktopwindow with Taskbar showing Right clickthe clock or any blank spot in the Taskbaror Systray When the Taskbarrsquos contextmenu appears select the ToolbarsNewToolbar command and use the ldquoNew

Toolbarrdquo dialog to locate and open theCSTEMSAPPLICATIONS STEM folderNOT the APPS folder and click OK

That should place a new ldquoAPPSrdquoToolbar on your Taskbar Move the APPSToolbar from the Taskbar to the very topof your screen by placing your mousepointer over the vertical toolbar ldquohandlerdquoon its left side and when the mousepointer turns into a double-headed arrowdrag the toolbar to the very top of thedesktop and drop it It should stayanchored there This will be the base onwhich we will build our STEMS

Now this is important Rightclick an empty spot on that APPS Toolbarat the top and when the context menuappears select the ToolbarsNew Toolbarcommand Again use this dialog to locateand open each of the other two remainingldquoSTEMrdquo named subfolders you havecreated ldquoFOLDER STEMrdquo andldquoUTILITIES STEMrdquo Those subfoldersshould now appear in turn on your newToolbar which we will now refer to as theSTEMS bar

important because this will addadditional Toolbars to the original toolbarnot to the Taskbar

Things You may wish to do in eachindividual Stem on the STEMS bar

Right click each in turn and in theresulting context menu

DISABLE the ldquoShow Titlerdquo optionENABLE ldquoAuto Hiderdquo and ldquoAlways

On ToprdquoDrag each individual Stem horizontally

to the location on the STEMS bar to whereyou want it to reside by grabbing it by itsldquohandlerdquo and dragging it to that location

If you have set a STEMS Toolbar andhave created a ldquoFoldrdquo Stem to gain fastentry to the folders and subfolders of yourchoice you may get aggravated whenwishing to look at several folders insequence

Example You are about to do aDefrag and you have opened theWindowsTemp folder to delete its files

then you wish to go to theNetscapeCache folder to delete its filesfollowed by the WindowsRecycle toremove all the files An obvious sequenceof choices

You canrsquot get directly back to theldquoFoldrdquo Stem via its own open windowbecause when you try to back out yousimply run back up the C root filemanagement tree instead of going straightback to the Stem window to select anotherdesired folder

The simple solution is to hit ALT+F+Fand you will be placed right back in theldquoFoldrdquo Stem window ready to select asubsequent folder

The TCS hopes you will find this to beuseful enjoy

Caters to Intermediate to AdvancedLevel Users If yoursquore aprofessional Access database

developer or a serious Access enthusiastthen this book will provide you with a verysolid understanding of not only how touse and get the best out of Access butalso the forces and attitudes shaping theprogramrsquos evolution Rating itself assuitable for Intermediate to Advanced userlevel the bookrsquos 1296 pages andassociated CD are a tome of easilyaccessible and detailed information aboutAccess and its cultural landscape

The book assumes the user has anexisting knowledge of the programsaying ldquoYou have acquired Access andwant to learn to use it more quicklyand effectively Or you may beconsidering Access as the databasemanager for your yourself yourdepartment or division or yourentire organisationrdquo

Thus Access is not treated asa simple application developmenttool It is considered as asophisticated program withmany flavours characteristicsand tricks which enable usersto create and managesophisticated applications insecure networkedenvironments

The book howevercould be used bybeginners in that the earlychapters cover all thefundamentals of tableform report and macrodesign in relativelysimple language with only occasionalreferences to more advanced topics ofVBA Code Access Data Projects SQLServers and the like - aspects which arenot particularly meaningful to non-professional programmers

What it covers What does the bookcover The book comprises 31 chapters

grouped into seven major sectionsarranged in increasing levels of detail andcomplexity It suggests you use the bookin a linear front-to-back manner for thefirst four sections That is up to andincluding ldquoPublishing data on Intranetsand the Internetrdquo which finishes on page706 That is a big ask There is much abeginner or less experienced Access user

could skip however and I found that Iused the book as a

r e f e r e n c e

manualto trouble shootspecific questions

The first section deals with ldquoLearningAccess Fundamentalsrdquo followed by adetailed section dealing with querydesign Good query design is central to

being able to extract filter sort and displayrequired database information Poor querydesign is a very common source of errorThe book provides detailed informationabout the different types of queries howto use them and how to use filteringcriteria so that only records matchingdefined criteria are displayed

Thereafter follows a section dealingwith forms and reports These are used todisplay and manipulate databaseinformation on the screen and fordisplaying information on the printed

page This is followed by theintranet and internetpublishing section

referred to aboveThe next three

sections cover moreadvanced topics

Section V ldquoIntegratingAccess with Other Office

2000 Applicationsrdquocovers the use of charts and

graphics and theintegration of the program

with Word and ExcelThe section ldquoUsing

Advanced AccessTechniquesrdquo provides a

chapter on database designThis is a topic which I see as

fundamental to the use of theprogram and which might better

belong in the earlier sections Inmy limited and amateur experience

database design takes a great dealof thought and attention and is

crucial to the proper operation of theapplication Design tends to be a bit

iterative as what started out to be aperfectly sensible design now displays

unanticipated complications andlimitations Knowing the fundamentals

of relational database design is a key tominimising such re-workings The chapterdevoted to this topic goes into substantialdetail

The remaining chapters in section VIand those in section VII relate to a varietyof advanced topics including multi-usernetwork applications security issuespermissions learning SQL responding toevents and working with recordsets

Access Evolution Throughout thetext and in ldquoIn the real worldrdquo sections atthe end of each chapter lies a wealth ofinformation about the forces and attitudeswhich have shaped the evolution anddevelopment of Access We learn forexample that a decade ago Bill Gatesdecided that all Microsoft applicationsusing macros would share a commonmacro language built on BASIC Theevolution of BASIC as a macro languageits relation to Word BASIC AccessBASIC Visual BASIC and VBA isdescribed

Understanding the trends and forces shapingthe program provide a rich cultural context inwhich to appreciate the program and how itrelates to the Microsoft stable of programs andto the programs of competitors

Linux creator foresees softwareindustry shakeout

Computer software priceswill crash when the needfor constant upgradesdisappears and this isonly a matter of timeaccording to leadingcomputer and softwareexpert Linus TorvaldsldquoThere are already some

signs of this beginning[a crash] may comethree years from nowrdquo Torvalds developerof the free operating system Linux said

Torvalds now works for Transmeta SiliconValleyrsquos most secretive start-up companywhich is thought to be working on either arevolutionary high-speed computer chip oron software improving the way chipsworkmdashor both Some information about thehush-hush operation is expected at theComdex trade show this November in LasVegasTorvalds predicted that demand forcustomized software such as Linux whichcan be tailored to a clientrsquos specificationswould rise in the future He said Linux mostcommonly used to run servers includingInternet servers could become a commonoperating system on personal computersbreaking the dominance of MicrosoftrsquosWindowsldquoI believe it could break through ondesktops letrsquos wait three years and thenlook again at the situationrdquo he said But hereiterated that his focus was on designingLinux for appliances smaller than laptopsrather than putting it on desktops

Linux gains groundLinux is gaining groundwhile Windows 2000sputters along accordingto a market research firmCompanies are increasingtheir use of the upstartoperating system whiledelaying deployment of

Microsoftrsquos latest operating system forbusinesses according to International DataCorporation (IDC)In a recent survey by the market researcher13 percent of the respondents said they nowuse Linux compared to 1997 when thesoftware did not register in any findingsbecause it was statistically such a smallpercentage of survey respondents Largecomputer makers such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard have become active supporters ofLinux which is popular in the Web serverand email server market Linux is a Unix-likeOS created originally by Linus Torvalds aFinnish graduate student at the timeThe survey also indicated that respondingcompanies have no plans to immediately

The Sony Player

Sony has introduced its first Walkmansupporting digital music downloaded fromthe Internet a development that couldprofoundly influence the direction of thenascent business The move which waslargely unexpected at this time gives Sony apotent weapon by combining one of todayrsquoshottest digital technologies with a consumerdevice that has changed the way peoplelisten to music since its introduction in 1979

The new Walkman which featuresSonyrsquos ldquoMemory Stickrdquo technology wasintroduced alongside other new portablemusic models Smaller than a piece ofchewing gum the Memory Stick is a storagemedium competing with memory flash cardsfor dominance in electronic devices such asPCs and digital cameras It is expected toarrive in US stores in January and retail forabout US$400

Analysts believe that the newWalkmanrsquos design represents the directionmost consumer electronics makers will takewith devices that download digital music atleast in the near term

The next-generation Walkman furthersSonyrsquos strategy of melding all itsentertainment and electronics propertiesfrom content to hardware That philosophyhas its roots in the companyrsquos purchase ofHollywood studios and record labels datingback to the mid-1980s

For the budding digital music scene thenew Walkman marks an importantendorsement coming from one of the best-known brands in the consumer electronicsindustry At the same time however itcould pose a major threat to rival productssuch as Diamond Multimediarsquos popular Rioplayer

The portable digital music player marketis expected to grow to 667 million units in2003 up from 62000 last year according tofigures from IDC Those estimates howeverdid not reflect the possible impact of Sonyentering the digital music market

Owners of Sony Vaio computers will beable to download digital music to their PCs

and transfer it to the Memory Stick whichis loaded into the MP3 Walkman MemoryStick is available with up 32MB storagecapacity Sony plans to introduce the storagemedium to more than 30 consumer electronicdevices during the coming months

The ldquoMemory Stick Walkmanrdquo with itscompact size (37mm width 963mm height192mm depth) and lightweight (approx65gincl battery) is small enough to be carriedaround easily in a chest pocket It alsofeatures an anti-skip function that allows foruninterrupted enjoyment of music during acommute or while jogging
