OS. Not only does my system crash in the

This situation has gone on far too long.
Microsoft counts on the users of its operating systems to be meek, placid, accepting and
uncomplaining. My solution? Refuse to buy
any further "new and improved" OSes.

Why does the Palm hold 70 percent of the
market? It's fast, simple and can accomplish

in as lin)e as 2 MB of memory
a 16
and
MHz
processor what a Windows CE or Pocket PC
needs 8 MB and a 133 MHz-plus processor
to do! Why? Pocket PC (Microsoft's
third
try!) is still to much memory overhead and
screen clutter on a small handheld! Consider
also that there are thousands of software

[applications[ for the Palm versus

only hundreds for Windows
CE/Pocket PC!
For even more potential, check out the
Handspring Visor athttp//www.handspnng.corn

and the Springboard expansion technology.

I'm also tired of reading about how hard
Gra6tti is to learn. My nine-year-old son
entered 10 friends' names and phone numbers into my Palm after only 6ve minutm of

STOCKHOLM, Sweden Six scientists who

played instrumental roles in bringing abou
the information revolution were recognized
in October with Nobel Prizes in physics a
chemistry for their contributions to a serie
of ever-smallerand faster PCs, pocket calcu-

lators, cellphones, CD players, improved T

screens and Gameboys.

The physics prize was awarded to Jac
Kilby. inventor of the first integrated circu
whileat Texas Instruments in 1056, and two
physidstswhose work contributed to sateilite and cellphone technology: Herbert
Kroemer of the University of California-Santa
Barbara and Zhores Alferov of the A.F. Iof
Physico-Technico Institute in St. Petersburg,
Russia,according to an Associated Press
report. The chemistry award was won by Al
Heeger, 64, of the University of California
Santa Barbara, Alan NacDiarmid, 73, of the
University o f P ennsylvania andHideki
Shirakawa, 64, of the University of Tsukuba
in Japan. The trio worked to modify plasti

The prizes,awarded by the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences are each worth
US$915,000. AP noted that the chemistry
prize will be split three ways, while Kilb

Other gift ideas? Mice have a way of dying.
Give your Tuxhead a nice new Logitech

come with PS/2 aad serial adapters to fit any
system. Is using a sroll wheel too radical at

$60, depending on the bells and whistles, and
are available in most office supply stores.
Is your Linux geek into gaming? How
about a Voodoo5 video card. This one will set
you back $500.

impossible to scroll down any of the articles as the scroll bar would not appear
only the tirst three paragraphs of longer
entries were visible! We spent quite a bit o
time trying to find a way around this, bu
to no avail.
We hope this was just a glitch in th
copy we received and does not reflect a
general flaw, but it did make reviewing this
encyclopedia frustrating. We can add that
we have looked each version of this prod

its unique Canadian content. The 1999

version exhibited none of the problems we
encountered with the more recent compilation.

are notreusable but are considerably cheaper

than the other media options.)
None of these media are interchangeable
so when you buy a digital camera, the kind
storage system it uses might be an importa
consideration if yo u already have other
devices that also use removable memory. Fo

example, if you have an PocketPC that u

CF, you could use the same memory cards

a digital camera that used CF ards.

We'vebeen told byvariouscamera makers

that SmartMedia is more popular in Asia a

Europe, but CF dominates in North America
Presently
,CF cards have the largestcapacity,
up to 192 MB. A CF II card is also avail
that is slightly thicker than the CF card. IB
makes a I GB hard drive in CF II card for
and some professional digital ameras wil
accept it.
Typical)y, two megapixel cameras come
with an 8 M B s torage card, and three
megapixel models have a IG MB memor
card. These hold about 12 to IB pictures
the camera's highest resolution setting. This
can be constraining if you are on an outing
its like walking around with half a roll of
in your amera. Yow options are to sa
images at a lower resolution, or buy anoth

memory card.

Daanry type

We like cameras that use standard AA batte

ies, because if you deplete your batteries, y
can always go to any corner store and sto
up on a new set. With proprietary batterie
unless you' ve purchased a spare, your pho
outing is over when your battery dies.
Some camera models come with four
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA cells and

charger
. Buying these separately could cost

you an extra $50 to SBO, so keep this

mindwhen making price comparisons.

If your camera uses a serial connection

download images, expect to twiddle your
thumbs a lot waiting for the images to
transferred from your camera to the compu
er. Most cameras of recent manufacture offe

Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection,

which is highly recommended if your PC a

has USB. Notebook computer users have a

PAPER K EDITION wwwcanadacumpuiescum

Onceyou'vehada digitalcamera forayearor

so, you will discover that storing ag thos

images turns into a project in itself. With 6lm
cameras,you can tuck the prints and negatives into any old drawer, and be confiden
that they will remain relatively safe.
Digital images, on the other hand, have t
be treated like any other kind of digital dat

and the Erst line of defense is to back up

ularly. If your hard drive crashes and it co
tained the only copies of a special event y
photographed, you will be sad.

If we were to recommend a single storag

method it would be CD-R. The blank medi
is very inexpensive (in the range of a buck
disc), and the drives themselves are now quit
affordable,in the 3250 to S400 range.CDrecording software has been streamlined, and

the technology will be around until at lea

mid-decade.
Recordable DVD, with its multi-gigabyte
storage capacity, is still too expensive, as n
single standard has been reached yet. Zip an

LS-L20 systems wiB work well if you alread

have a drive, but diskettes remain expensive

(S(3 each), and the L00 to I 20 MB capac
may prove inconvenient when your coUection grows to gigabytes worth of images. 0

The price advantage of the Palm recently too

a challenge from Handspring, which introduced its own Palm OS-based handheM, the
Visor, at a lower price-point than any of th
Palm models. To counter the Visor challenge
Palm introduced the m100.
The form factor has been updated. and
though it's bulkier than the Pabn V, It's mo

stylish than the squared-off Palm m series

Like most of its Palm siblings, the m100 has

monochmme scveen, which is smaller on this
unit than on other Palms. Like earlier ver
sions of the Palm, the ml00 has 2 MB
onboard memory, which should be adequate
for most entry-level users. Those who want t
install a lot of third-party applications, or
who have extensive data-entry needs. should
consider the move up to an 8 MB model els
where in the Palm line.
The m 100 features some things not on th
rest of the Palm line. In addition to a sligh
redesigned button selection, it features a
hinged Dip cover that protects the screen,
with a little cut-out window that shows the
time even when the machine is off. Anothe
feature with the m100 is the replacement o
the full synchronization cradle with a serial
HotSync cable, which helps to keep the cos
low and doesn't substantially change the way
you sync your Palm with the desktop.
One nice touch with the m100 is the inclu
sion of t h e i n frared port, despite the
machme's lower pne pomt.
The Palm ml00 uses two standard AAA
batteries for power. It is compatible with
Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000 desktops.
(Note: Though the m100 does not ship
with Mac compatibility, a PalmConnect USB
kit is available for US$39.95. It includes
USB-to-serial port adapter, Mac and PC USB

ferent direction. In the meantime, the trusty

old Rex Pro has been re-released under the
Xircom banneras the Rex 500i.
When compared to other devices reviewed
this month, the Rex is the odd unit out, as it
doesn't accept stylus or keyboard input. In
fact, when on the road, all input is entered
using a combination of six buttons, which
forces the user to scroll through a series of
menus, and select letters one by one by one.
Needless to say, this is tedious if you have
much data to enter.
Luckily this isn't the way the device is
meant to be used. The Rex 500l is the size of
a PC Card. It slides into a PC Card slot on a

ALL FOR

DVD forChristmas?

v isit o u r s i t e
anne .inkj e t m a r t .corn

More and more people are upgrading or replaceing the CD-ROM drives on their deskto
notebookPCs with DVD drives because ofrecent changes in the OVD market (and,yas,OVO
drives can read all CDs). Some of the more compelling reasons to co
sider DVD include:
More moviesare coming out simultaneously on DVD and
video, with the DVD versions offering extra goodies like direc
tors'cuts and behind-the-scenes interviews.
More developers are releasing software on a single DVD tha
used to require multiple CD-ROMs. For example, Microsoft Works
2001 Suite on OVD (which includes the latest versions of Works,
Word, Enarta. Streets 5 Trip, Picturelt, and Money) can take
advantageof Windows Installerin Windows ME or Windows 2000

fordynamic loading offiles and resourceswhen needed.The CD-

ROM versionof the suite comes on six discs.

As wi t h s oftware applications. encylapedias which now

include timelines, 300-degree panorama views with hyperlinks, and
other images, maps, and interlinked stories become invaluable when stored on o
OVD ratherthan five to seven COs. We can heartily recommend Encarta 2001 and World
Book T on DVD.
Documentation for huge systems, like Visual Studio or SQL Server, is now available
one DVO rather than spread over literally dozens of CDs.

Such transmissions can carry DSI, connections up to 64.4 km (40 miles) awa

Besides, Carroll has a different view o
history than Fraser. Carroll had a Telesa

And consider Globalstar, another cell
