and was starting to generate some excitement.
The CAD company wanted to capitalize on its
involvement with this rising PC technology, and
thereby drum up new business. I remember leaving one of the briefings with the company, firmly convinced that the PC was, indeed, the future.
But I also remember the worried and slightly disappointed voice in the back of my mind. I'd
recently spent $3,000 on an Apple j[ clone, and it
was becoming, painfully clear that I'd bought yesterday's technology.
In that respect, it seems little has changed.
When we drop our precious cash on today's ultimate system, we often can't silence that little
voice in the back our mind fretting about instant
obsolescence. Instantly obsolete or not, I motored
on with my Apple j [, mainly because could
I
afford
to do little else. I added a device called a CP/M
card, which allowed me to run real business
applications like WordStar, dBaseand SuperCalc.
And you know, I had tons of fun and learned
much about computers with that relic. I even
struggled through the opacities of dBase programming to create a pr'imitive inventory system
for my wife's business. So by the time I jumped
on the IBM-PC bandwagon a few yearslater, I had
a pretty good understanding of how personal
computers in general worked.
If there's a lesson to be learned from my experience, it is this: it's easy to develop an inferiority
complex, given the constant reminder that we no
longer have the latest, greatest computer thing.
However, we should remember the enjoyment
and enrichment we can get from our personal
computers
even old ones.
Besides,even older computers can be
enhanced. One of this month's features is on
upgrading your computer. If you have a system
that's three or four years old, you' ll be happy to
know there are ways to preserve your investment
for another few years.
Rfgalaetalnlng the drool factor
Of course, I'm not advocating a moratorium on
PC development, or that we should stop lusting
after the latest, greatest computer thing. One of
the reasons I like working atThe ComputerPaper
is because it's our job to seek out the latest computer things and then tell you about what they' re

Spameeelng by any other name
After reading Keith Schengili-Roberts' articles on
spammers and how to deal with them (see
"Cooking spam: what to do about junk email" in
TCPAug '97 and "Cooking spam, Part II" in TCP
Sept. '97), I came to the conclusion that the only
sure way to avoid spam was to get off the Net. So
I shut down my computer and resolved to cancel
my Internet accessaccount.
Turning on the TV, I realized to my horror
that spammers had invaded my TV set! Every 10
or IS minutes, my show was interrupted by a
variety of messagesurging me to buy something!
Quickly turning off the TV, I went and collected
my mail (snail mail that is), Opening my mail
box, I found nearly 10 pounds of spam crammed
in the box. Flyers, unsolicited letters, brochures;
is nothing sacred?! Can those vicious spammers
even exploit the public mail system?
Turning to my preferred magazine, (The
Computer Paperof course), now with some trepidatlon, I carefully opened the magazine and
started to read. The magazine was actually
arranged so that I would have to look at practically every spam loaded page in order to finish
reading one article!
By now hopelessly discouraged I returned to
my computerand opened my email.What do
you suppose I found? Messages from my colleagues, my bosses, invitations to meetings, notifications about conferences from one of the several Ilstservs I belong to, pretty dull stuff when

you think about it. A few months ago I received
an email from a young lady offering to send me
pictures of herself unclothed. Replying with a
certain amount of eagerness, I discovered that
her postmasterhad canceled her account for
"misuse of the system." I am still waiting to hear
how I can get rich quick, but it would appear that
nobody wants me to have financial independence. I am looking forward to receiving one of
these messages, which I intend to share with my
good friends at the RCMP, (they really need the
money).
So in conclusion, if Keith could write a Part
III to his spam article, explaining how I can
remove the spam from my television, mailbox,
newspapers and magazines, not to mention the
billboards, buses, and every other square inch of
the environment, it would be of more use to me
than what I have learned so far.
Erik Schmidt, Edmonton
Spaeaamers: get tough with 'em
The anti-spam article could have mentioned a
few more ideas. Legislation making it illegal to
send spams would make it quite difficult for
spammers.
Most spammers want their potential customers to pay for something or other. They usually ask for a credit card number to be sent somewhere. If they give an address, the local police
could be notified. If they give a Fax or phone
number,the local phone company could be

You wouldn'tbuy a house with a faulty foundation, or a carwith a crooked frame. Don't buy a PC
with anything other than a Houston Technologies mainboard.

Houston boards are subjected to one of the most extensive post production testing and burn
in procedures in the industry. We' re so confident of the quality and reliability of Houston
mainboards, that we have a 60-day, on-the-spot, replacement policy included with our
standard two year warranty.
irrrr

Whether you' re upgrading a current system, or building a brand new one, Houston
makes it easy. Every board bought with a CPU is pre-jumpered. That means the
voltage, cache, processor timing, and clock speed are all pre-set.
At Houston Technologies, customer satisfaction is our number one priority. That's why
you' ll find Houston Technology mainboards in popular systems all over North America.
If you' re building, (or upgrading) one system, or one thousand systems, insist on Houston
Technologies mainboards - everything else is a peripheral!

for transfemng data."
Wyatt says the first of these devices (probably in the professional assistant category)

Keerllzer
From: Paradon Computer Systems
Price: $439, including 200 MHzMMXCPU(contact
the company for current prices; CPUprices have a
habit of dropping frequently).
Tested on: 1995-vintage PCclone system, with Soyo
T5/A2 motherboard and a P90CPU.
Pros: Adds MMXtechnology and significant speed
boost to existing Pentium PCsystems, including
those not compatible with Intel's MMX OverOrive
solutions. In addition, the CPUEnergizer is slightly
less expensive than Intel's solution. (Intel's suggested
retail price is $499 for the 200Mhz MMXOverdrive.)
Cons:Some systems may requirea BIOS upgrade
and/or jumper adjustments.

but no cigar. Apparently, we had misread the motherboard manual's reference to
how to set the jumper(s) controlling the clock
speed. Powering down, changing a jumper on
the motherboard and restarting got us a step
page.
At the Intel site, we found information
that suggested that a BIOS incompatibility
might be our problem and a downloadable
"BIOS Compatibility Test" more or less confirmed it. The page included a link to our

There's been some ongoing controversy as'
to why Intel would design its new processors
with such drastic changes to their outer shell.
According to Intel, it "is moving to the SEC
cartridge design as the solution for high-performance processors for the next decade."
Critics, however, areclai

The n ew
Slot 1 design would appear to give at least
some credibility to those critics. A lot of tempers have also been flaring about the new Intel
strategy on usenet newsgtoups. Contributing
to this anger is the fact that if people want a
new Pentium 11 processor, they' re also going to
have to fork over an additional $300 to $400
for the motherboard alone.
But regardless of what Intel's real intentions

it impossible to use these chips on a standard
Socket-7 motherboard, such as those that can
accept Pentium, AMD and Cyrix chips. The
new format is called single edge contact (SEC)
cartridge packaging. The SEC cartridge looks
similar to a card you would insert into one of
your expansion slots, although it's thicker.
But the concept is the same, because the
Pentium 11 SECcartridge sits in a slot designed

It's very fast. Aside from the obvious increase
i in clock speed, the Pentium II has much more
' going for it than just a measure of megahertz.
First designed with th e Pentium Pro,
dynamic execution technology is now also
found inside the Pentium II. In a nutshell,
this means that the processor can predict

I r
M MX technology at
speed up to
200INHz, you' ll blaze through even the
most demanding applications, and
experience the latest in media

Pentium processor with MINX

A-Open
Computers bearing the A-Open name are well
known at TCP Labs for offering good performance at very competitive prices. This
month, the system we tested features a slew
of components using the latest technology.
To start, we have a Pentium II CPU operating at 266 MHz, which sits on a newly
released A-Open AX6L motherboard with an
ATX form factor bearing the latest 440LX
chipset from Intel, As requested, the machine
was equipped with a healthy dose of 64 MB of
high-speed SDRAM.
Speaking of high speeds, this A-Open system was configured with the new Matrox
- Millennium II AGP video card. Although not
available to the public at the time of this writi ng, the p re-production model i n t h i s
machine is a great indication of things to
come from AGP technology. With 8 MB of
dual-ported WRAM on board, this card offers
excellent 2D graphics at resolutions that until
r ecently have been a vailable only t o
CAD/CAM professionals.
Storage components include a 6.4 GB
Quantum hard drive with Ultra-DMA support, and an LS-120 floppy drive. Multimedia
is delivered with the help of a 24x CD-ROM
drive, an Acer AW35Pro sound card and a pair
of WaveSonic 160 watt speakers,
Also included in the package are an Acer
ALN201 network card, an Acer 56Kbps
modem and aprogrammable keyboard capable of adjusting volume, controlling CD-ROM
activity and calling up the Windows 95 calculator at the press of a button.
Although the system was one of several
w hich encountered problems with t h e
Database portion of our benchmark suite, it
still managed to produce good results for a
machine in its class. This system is priced at
$3,999 and carries a two-year parts and labor
warranty. It should be noted that final pricing will vary once the prices have been
established for the new Matrox AGP video
card.

some impressive benchmark results, and not
only provides ample storage, but keeps data
moving quickly throughout the system.
The system also indudes a 16x CD-ROM

Sound Blaster Pro compatible sound system.
Although we tested this machine with
Windows 95, it should be noted that it ships
with Windows NT Workstation 4.0. An overall score was not obtained for the machine
due to a problem it encountered with the
Desktop Presentation portion of the benchmarks, but its other scores indicate satisfactory performance. The 300 XL is priced at a suggested $4,310, which indudes the IBM G72

lifestyle is available in the second edition of

Oouglae Gray, LL.B. formerIy a practicing lawyer, is
now aVancouver-based speaker.columnistand

You also need to give thought to such
important matters as money management,
financial planning, wills, estate planning,
and the need for reliable professionals and
other advisors.
There is a n i n c reasing number o f
Canadians who prefer to spend the winter

rich with culture and diversity, and over one
million Canadian tourists visit Mexico every
year. There are several locations in Mexico
that are popular retirement communities for

KIDS
B Y JEAN A L L E N - I K E S O N
The back-to-school routine ls habit.
The kids come and go speaking of
Michelangelo, decimals and adverbs.
All is well until they come sliding in
with that first report card. You can
tell by their faces that a few minor
adjustments need to be made. Or
maybe they just need a boost in general skills, such as typing or reading,
or a few handy references toget
them started on projects and reports.
few years ago, the best software to give
your kids a boost was designed primarily for the preschool to Grade 2 crowd,
but more and more good products are arriving
to help students in Grade 3 to college levels.

consider dealing with the learning curve that
Frontier represents unless you have a fairly
large site, and one that requires frequent
updates and revisions. However, tor larger
sites, Frontier's power is unparalleled, making
it possible to make even complicated changes
throughout a site with the stroke of a few

If the learning curve is steep, your cash
investment wig not be. Frontier is free fnot
shareware) and available via the Web.
In a market where there are so many offerings, creating a package that tries to be all
things to everyone should ensure that you' re
at least something to many people. I don' t
know if that's what Corel had in mind with
WebMaster, but there is some evidence of it
hgre.
For instance, the Web site management
component of the suite is second to none.
Intended to help you manage both remote
and local Web sites, the program also lets you
detect and update broken links and makes
use of an interesting filter system to look at
your site in numerous different ways in order
to detect problems, There is even a Sitebuilder

wizard to help you put together a site practically witrt your eyes closed (not recommended if you' re trying this at home).
But, just for good measure, Corel has
dropped in a powerful WYSIWYG HTML editor, a very good image editor, over 8,000 clip
art images, and even a database publishing
component for those into putting changing
numbers on their Web site.
Price wise, the total package falls into the
higher end of the Web site management spectrum, but you can at least console yourself
with the fact that, since Corel is a Canadian
company, some oi' those are dollars that will

If you are a new user, and are not accustomed to tweaking your configuration or registry, or if you have exotic software and
peripherals, you may want to wait a few
weeks until the final code for Explorer 4,0 is
shipped. One of our testers encountered
i ncreasingly serious crashes until i t
became necessary to uninstall Explorer
4.0 altogether this person is not terribly
eager to re-install it again, Others have had
positive experiences, but simply don't like the
browser-style interface (the changes take
some getting used to, especially in the File
Explorer where files tend to open when
you click on them once, making moving or
copying them a bit of a headache).

Web pages.
There are two different approaches to creating a multi-column display using HTML
tables: either create a Web page consisting of
two table data cells where all of the contents
are arranged in two long columns, or create a
table that displays its content in various cells.
The second approach is really a variant of the
first, and both have their specific uses on a

Web page.
The initial table example consists of two
columns and two rows. Take away one row
and you have a basic table consisting of two
table data cells. This may not seem like much
of a foundation for a good-looking Web page,
but appearances can be deceiving. By using
some table tag attributes and a few other
tricks, you can divide the content of a page
into a columnar format.
Use the WIDTH attribute of the <TD> to
help set the dimensions of what will end up
being a column in your table, as in the fol-

e vast majority of Canadians were deeply saddened by the recent death of Diana, Princess of
Wales. Although only a minority of us had actually met Diana, most of us felt her loss through the very
media that supposedly contributed to her unfortunate
death. However, for a considerable number of us, we
expressed the loss of Diana through the Internet.
The death of Diana is probably the most significant
event the Web has yet experienced. The number of Web pages
that popped up in tribute to her was amazing. I held back the
September edition of Amputation an online magazine for
amputees I started in June 1996 for 24 hours in order to write
a tribute to the princess.
The Royal Web site (http: //www.royal.gov.uk) received
over 13.8 million hits in one week, with 350,000 people sending condolences through an online form. With so many people connecting to the Royal Family through its Web page, we
expressed ourselves in a way previously unheard of.
One cannot help feeling that the Web played an important
role 13.8 million hits in a week is a staggering amount of
bandwidth. This "connection" between the user and the
Royals proved to be an incredible tool for expressing grief,
especially for those of us outside Great Britain.
Raising awareness
My respect and interest in Diana increased dramatically
when she became involved in th e landmine issue. Her
involvement and obvious feeling for landmine survivors
touched me as a person with an amputation, I was in love
with the woman from then on.
My indirect connection to Diana was through the Web.
The very first issue of my online magazine featured an article by Celina Tuttle of Mines Action Canada. This topic
was addressed again in other issues: in january 97, I feat ured an interview with Ken Rutherford of t h e
Landmine Survivors Network; and in May an article on
Diana's visit to Angola, using images captured from the
BBC documentary to supplement the text. Diana's visit to
Changing lives
The result of the landmine issue being called to i ntern
ational
attention has been a positive for the survivors of landmine
explosions.
Angola has a population of 30 million, most of whom
don't have phones, let alone computers. Yet, because we in the
developed nations are in immediate contact, we can encourage others to give to charities that try to improve the quality
of life for the average Angolan amputee.
Angola has the highest population of amputees in the
world, one in every 330 people has lost a limb, most of them
through landmine explosions. The prosthetic limb industry in
Angola is still playing "catchup," but that gap is
.anel.

starting to close due to the consciousness-raising combination of Diana's visit and the Web
and email. Amputees in other nations, such as
Bosnia, Cambodia and Vietnam, are also
beginning to see positive results, for which
the Net played a contributing role. But we still
have such a long way to go.
Cosssumer activism
The Internet is also playing a significant role
amputees.
Internet mailing lists and Web pages are
starting to play a more and more significant
thetic limb they could have received at a facility 20 minutes from their own front door!
We have found new amputees are particularly vulnerable when the only information
they are receiving on their choices is the
advertising campaigns of leading prosthetic
makers and clinics, While national chains
may have some merit in the fast food business, too often national chains in the prosthetic industry leave the consumer broke and
without a suitable prosthetic limb.
Since September 1994, t h e o r i ginal
amputee listserv at St. Johns University in
New York has been a forum for amputees
world wide to compare and contrast their
experiences. That list has since diversified into
three other amputee oriented lists, each with
their own particular personality and charm.
Today the St. Johns list has 300 members in
approximately 25 nations. It continues to act

An alternative method of arranging the

add subject headings within a column on
your Web page. The following 'code example

So what you end up with is a table within a table that will appear the same to the
viewer, no matter the browser window size.
The outer table is set to the sum of the sizes
of the two columns: 500 pixels. The outer
table is necessary because while the images
in the column may not be resized in the
viewerss browser window, other elements
still can (though to a lesser degree than if
the images were not t here in, the first

proOne series
From: Sofsource
Price: $29.99 (each). $45-$60 (multiple-CQ packs)
So your son is about to expire in calculus or your daughter can't seem to get the
idea of how to write a good book report.
You can hire a tutor for $20 an hour or you
can try tutorial software. The most comprehensive of these programs are those in the
Proone series. Sofsource produces no-nonsense reviews and lessons for English, grammar, composition and book reports, French,
math and science, And by math and science, I mean they break it down to an entire
disc on Algebra or Calculus or Physics or
Chemistry.
These are not games that kids play to
finally master a topic, but comprehensive
tutorials. You can search for a certain topic
and then review text or problems on that

Apple Computer. Jobs opened his address saying, "Eighty percent of color publishing is done
on Macs. You guys are our board of directors."
Now 1 2 w'eeks into his return to Apple,
Jobs demonstrated a command and control of
changes taking place at the troubled compariy.
He admitted errors in Apple's past, saying,

products and 70 percent were questionable.
"We are taking a hard look at that 70 percent
to see what we want to keep," he added.

It became obvious by the late 1980s that personal computers were here to stay as a crucial
computer networking tedmology and computer digital audio in the 1980s suddenly created a rival communications industry that
was outside both g
and telco
control. Any fool could see that many things
could be done cheaper and better with the
new digital computer technologies than with
the old analog phone system, and lots of
fools tried to do it. A rapidly growing number of Fortime 1000 companies for reasons
ranging from a desire to save money, to linking worldwide operations, to increasing security, began to bring voice and data network-

ing "in-house," bypassing the phone company's switchboards for i nternal company communications. Little companies, and individuals, were not far behind.
In response to complaints from the business community and the public, governments around the world de-regulated some
aspects of established phone systems, and in
some cases broke up the phone system into
regional competitors,. The g

throwing the former nionopolies open to the
winds of competition.
The telcos responded to the challenge by
investing huge sums in rebuilding their
phone systems with the latest technologies,
and trying to offer combined phone and networking solutions. A strange phenomenon

emerged: computer networks began to incorporate telephone functions, while the telephone system adopted computer networking
technology.
That brings us to where we are today: a
jumble of competing visions, technologies
and allianc~ Network integrators are continuing to skim off a lot of the telephone companies' largest and most lucrative customers by
offering "computer/telephony integration"
(TCI) as part of a network solution. Even individuals running their home offices are putting
voice mail, phone and even switchboard functions onto their computers.
The Internet

phone software to create digital voice connections worldwide. The phone companies

revenue stream from the phone lines that
still reach into most homes and offices, and
an infrastructure that is more complete and
