a n u nhappy customer who detailed his

company.The complainant then
suggested that the retailer and
TCP might be in cahoots in some
kind of conspiracy to rip off the
consumer.
Well, we' re not in cahoots with
anybody, and being consumers of
the technology ourselves, we suffer the same kinds of frustrations
outlined in these two incidents.

Put up with it indeed. As a friend new to

Ussng.
I was surfing Sun Microsystems' site recently and came across an artide in which the
author stated that in the late 30905 the Sears
catalogue sold an item called the home motor.
This was a general-purpose electric motor
that consumers could buy to automate
machines that had no power source. As appliances evolved to include their own elemric
motors,the demand for a general purpose
home motor shrank. The argument the
author was trying to make was that the personal computer might be the home motor of
our generation. Computing power and connectivity may become an integral part of any
electrical appliance. When that happens,
there' ll be as much reason to buy and play
with a home computer as there is to buy and
play with a home motor.

Enjoy the issue

You pointed out in the article about some of
the problems with e-commerce and the reluctance of Canadian businesses to take on a Wsb

problem stems horn the lack of grassroot supportprovided by the Canadian banks. We need
to bridge the gap between conventional paperbased banking transackons and the up-andcoming way of selling digitally through the

Internet. The support from the banks and their

its C-3030 Zoom digital camera. The C3030 is a
3.34 megapixel unit that will capture images up

The new Olympus sports a glass eight-element 3x zoom (32-96mm equivalent in 35mm
camera terms) and a 2.5x digital telephoto

160x120 resolution, or 46 seconds at 320x240

services that it says allow users to store their
favourite Web pages, complete with associated
files, online on i-drive's servers.
The two services InfiniteSpace and Filoallow users to register on the i<frive.corn site
and use it as a gateway to almost any Web location, "clicking and storing" complete Web
pages as if they were saving them to their local

Geoff Bonforte, i-drive.corn's chief executive

whole catalogue of third-party accessories for
their devices, although few were on display at
the Comdex Canada West.
However, 3Com has introduced a new
accessory kit for its Palm IIIs. The Palm Colour
Shades Kit includes three flip covers, in
translucent lime, blue and aqua plastic, and
three black styli for only $20. I also saw a very
nice stylus for the Pabn V that has a built-in
retractable baUpoint pen.
Regular TCP readers will remember the
notebook accessories reviewed i n th e

peripheralsand accessories through a atalogue it is distributing in conjunaion with

Toshiba. Among Targus' atalogue listings
were a 24x PC Card and a USB CD-ROhl dnve
($400 and $450, respectively), and a very nice
PC Card CD-ROM and DVD drive ($600)
These units are ag only slightly bigger than a
CD jewel case and just about as flat. On a more
specialized scale. they also list a small PC Card
Zip drive ($400), and a PC Card SuperDisk
drive ($400). With the exception of the USB
CD-ROhl drive, ag units draw their power

through the interface, so they don't require an

extra AC adapter.
Something really innovative in connectivity
omes from Xircom, which has created a smaU
modular port replicator system that operates
through a single USB connection. This device
skirts the need for docking stations and port
replicators, which tend to be proprietary units
supplied by the original notebook manufacturer. Designed as individual compact modules, parallel, serial, USB, modem and Ethernet
connections can be individually purchased

and snapped together like Lego to create a customized unit that you can take anywhere. The
only thing that is not currently available is a
video connector. Individual component prices
vary.butthe USB Starter Kitmade up ofseven
USB portsand the necessary "end caps" sells
for $219, the Connection Starter Kit with one
parallel, two serial PS2, and four USB connections goes for $299.

is hard-wired to a PC Card for quick and easy
storagor backup through that interface. It
also draws its power through the connection,
so it docsn't require an additional cord and
adapter. It can connect through the paraUl
port too, but that results in a much slower
throughput of 1.2 Mbps. Prices range from
$659 for 4.2 GB model, to a whopping $1,200
for 10 GB drive. A 20 GB version is also on the
way soon. Flip Disks are being distributed in

(1.25xl.75x11.3 in) and weighing just 310 g
(11 oz.). While its $275 price tag is a bit steep,
it's thc smallest sheet scanner we' veseen, and it
produces very good results. It connects to the
notebook via the PC Card slot, using just a single thin cable for both data communication
and power. Very cool.

Projectors end screens

As a more specialized category, portable business presentation projetora continue to
shrink in dimension and weight although the
prices remain frighteningly hefty for the consumer. On the other hand, if your employer is
paying, the quality and features of several projetors available give you an excegent range nf
devices from which to choose,
Despite developments in projector technology at ag levels, portability was the feature
being pushed at Comdex Canada West.
Without even trying, I ended up with a pile of
18 brochuresfor dgferent portable projectors
from multiple manufacturers, ag laiming to
be the lightest, brightest and most durable.
But of aU the portable projtora on display,
the most por tabb was the In Focus LP 330 distributed ia Canada by Duocom. Although
more expensive than most at about $9,200, it
weighs only 2.2 kg (4.9 lb.), and is a trim
22.8x26.6x6.35 cm (9xl0.5x2.5 in.). Producing
a brightness rating of 650 ANSI lumens, the LP
330 image looks pretty good even in brightly
lit areas like the display Boor of the Vancouver
Trade and Convention Centre.
And to make your presentation look even
better, Duocom also sdls a portable 50-inch
screen, from the Da-Lite Screen Company, that

Sy synchronizing the Palm with their desk- daims, "More than 18,000 third-party devel-

opers have signed up

to create hardware and
software add-ons for the
more than four million users of
Palm products."
Tough number to check, but a visit to any of
the many Palm commercialand shareware
software sites proves that there are at least hundreds of software programs and hardware
devices available.
Thus, today, you can buy hardware add-ons
like har code readers, and wired and wireless
modems. We've even seen an add-on that
turns the Palm into a bike computer. Among
the software titles available are games, network
software, productivity tools and utilities the
kind of software you'd find on any computing
platform.
The third generation of Palms (Palm Vll
and perhapscolour Palms, when they arrive)
will really appeal to business users. These wireless, and photography-enabled devices, will be
a real boon to many different companies.
But even today, the Palm is being used to
conductbusiness.For example, Sherry Chris,
with Royal Ipage Real Estate Services, uses
one to"savbuyer and seUer information...
then print it for lients using an infrared printer."When she wants to show a client a listing,
she downloads it from the company's Internet
site (http:Itwww.royattepage.ca) using her Palm,
and prints it out. With a modem, and software
like Symantec's Mobile WinFax, Chris could
also fax her document from her Palm.
Other business scenarios for the Palm
include:donors referencing up-to-date catalogues, drug information, or even hospitalspecific information (when such a system has
been set up) with a Palm; companies using
Palms with hardware add-ons, like bar code
readers and thermal printers, for inventory
and ontrolsystems; and with the newest wirelessPalms, accessing information from a corporate network while on the go.
Using the Palm as a general purpose tool, we
can read and respond to email even if we're
away from our main computer. Certain software programs allow us to read daily news,
stock quotes, historical texts, novels, educational material, and even regular documents or
text files. Other third-party Palm programs
calculate weight, distance, time, and geographical informanon.

The competition
In theory, Windows
CE should be a runaway
success. CE devices offer
colour screens, added functionality, like MPEG movie or MP3 music playback, and an interface that clusely resembles Windows px.
8ut for ag that added functionality, CE
devicesfaU down in crucial areas where the
Palm still shines, primarily battery life,
responsiveness and weight. The latest generations of Windows CE palmtop devices are
closing the gap somewhat. For example,
Casio's latest E-I I weighs about IR4 g (6.5
oz.) versus about I l3 g (4 oz.) for the Palm
III, and offers about 25 hours of use on a pair
of AAA batteries. However, in terms of markt share, 3Com still leads the handheld pack.
Internationally, ID C r eports t hat Palm
devicesaccount for 72 percent of PC companions.That's up from last year, and the
year before.
If Palm has any competition it is from its
close cousin, the Visor. This device is from
Handspring Inc., which was founded by furmer Palm executives. Included in H
c
executive offices are Jeff Hawkins, the inventur
of the PalmPilot, and Donna Dubinsky, a
founder and f o rmer president o f P alm
Computing.
The Visor resembles the Palm III, and uses
the Palm OS, which it licensed from 3Com
Outwardly, it sports a translucent plastic cas,
a-la Apple's iMac, available in several colours.
Visor's biggest innovation over the Palm I I I is
its Springboard slot, which allows third-party
manufacturers to build devices, like cellular
phones and game cartridges, that plug directly
into the Visor.

Which Palm is for mey

Currently in Canada there are two main
lines of the Palm the Palm III ( which
includes the III, )lie and Illx). and the Palm
V (which includes the V and Vx). The wireless Palm VH is expected to be introduced
here sometime this year, and should sell for
around $900, plus a monthly connectivity
fee.
The Palm III may still be found in some
stores, but is being replaced by the i(le and

There is never a good time to buy technology. If you decide to wait for the better device
or the cheaper price, you could wait forever.
However, having said that, it looks like a lot
is happening in the Palm OS product market
in Canada, and the landscape could look
considerably different in as few as six
months.
The bottom line is this: if you are hmding
out today looking for value, consider the Palm
Illx. For the Iargtut window against obsolescence, get the Palm Vx. If you have a litle time
and patience. wait six months. keep your ye

packed a 48 MB Compactplash card from
Lexar M edia ( hltp://www.lexarmedls.curn).
Coupled with the HP camera, it held over
IOO pictures at full megapixel resolution.
The card comes with a IumpShot cable that
can be plugged into any USB port, and costs
about US$220.
Because aholiday shouldn't be all work, and
bcause there was still space left in the bag, I
also packed the Diamond Rio 500 MP3 player.
The playerhas 64 MB of onboard memory

(for roughly an hour of music) and a superEast USB interface Eor getting a new batch of

It retails for about $350.

Although it seemslike a lot, all of this easily fit into a single knapsack, and allowed me to

and have a bit of fun. After being able to do
my work on the road, it's almost a shame to

SpeedStep power shifts mobile users

Intel claims that the battery-optimized

'ng notebook power management a step volts whefi Um fiotebook cuir(puler is opwaling the maximum mode. along with a 40 to 50
further, Intel has intnxluced ils next genw- on battery power. The SpeedStep feature allows percent reduction in CPU power consumpaticn ol motiile Pentium al pocessom. The the CPU to adcrnatically switch between a tion. The switching occurs very quickly Sess
indusion of what intel calls SpeedStep technolo- "maximwn pwfcrmance mode (650 MHz or 600 than one 2,000th of a second) and is transgy in its 650 MHz and 600 MHz mobile Pentium MHz depending on the model) when the note- parent to the user, says Intel. As well, this
UI pocessors allows the pocessor tc downshe book is connected to AC power and a "battery- feature can be ovemdden, allowing the user
to 500 MHz and switch from 1.6 volts to 1.35 optimized pwformance made" (500 MHz) to switch to maximum perfonnance mode

even with the computer on battery power.

When Intel announoW the new line of mobile
Pentium ills with SpeedStep in mid-January,
several notebook manufackuers were ready and
announced models that incorporated the new
processor. Among them were Compaq Canada
(Armada M700 and E500). IBM Canada
(ThinkPad 60070. NEC (Versa) and Tcshiba of
Canada (Portage 7200CT and Tecra 81 00).

Will that be one spindle or two>

Two notebooks take different paths to balancing weight, power and features
By Sean Carruthers
cn you dcade you nccd a portable
machine fur use on the road, you
have to decide what form factor best
fruits yuu: a I'un notebook, 4 small handheld
devie, or something in between? The Test Lab
recently got a chance to look at two devices
that fit into that middle ground.

Tl I l l
is part of
Fujitsu Canada's
revamped ultralight line, replacing last
year's 8200 series. In the small
25xl9.7x3.2 cm (9.3x7.8xl.3 in.) case that
weighs 1.43 kg (3.2 lb.), Fujitsu hasstuffed a 400
MHz mobile Celeron processor 64 MB of RAM,
a 6 G Bhard drive and a full Windows 98 install.
This unit is a single spindle design. The standard tloppy drive is an external unit that can be
plugged into the rear of the machine asneeded.
An optional CD-ROM drive can be attached to
the machine via the Li(eBook's single PC Card

interface. With Uoppy and CD turned intu

external devices, space is freed up inside the
case, allowing it to hold not only 4 modem, but
an Etliernet purt, dn in(rared port, two USB
porw and monitur uut port as wdl. A removable port replicdtur Slung the bdkk of the
machine adlh parallel, serial and twn PS/2 pons
for attaching a mouse dnd keyboard.
More impurtdnt (edture, however, are the
new options for controlling the
machine. Fujiuu has passed on the
trdckpad and ErguTraccontrollers used

Stating the case for a good bag

Ifyou've spent thousands
ofdollars on a notebook

to cheap out on the carrying case. But price alone
doesnot distinguish a good
bag one thatprotects
your valuable notebookfrom a not-so-good bag

to appeal to the broadest possible market."
But thicker padding doesn't necessarily

translate into better protection. Many a shopper has made a purchase in the mistaken belief
that a bag, with evident thick padding, would
afford the best protection against damage from

drops, bumpsand roughhandling, only to discover otherwise later when such mishapsactually occur. In fact, overly thick padding

By Ross MacDonald
t is not unusual for press types like myself
to exit various trade shows,exhibitions and
sehmooze-feats carrying or watching
other people carry multitudes of logoemblazoned notebuok carry bags,which are
popular promotional giveaways. However,
these mementos rarely fulfill the notebooker's
quest for a bag that balances the overriding
need for notebook protection with other considerations like convenience, practicality and
even weight.There have been exceptionspromotional bags from NEC and Compaq
have proven to be ultimately useful for very
diff
erent reasons but most notebookers
eventually discover that cheap (or free) bags
mean bad bags. Thus the shopping for a proper bag begins.
"The problem that manufacturers face."

Other features
Once you' ve narrowed down your choices to
bags that offer the necessary protection, you'U
want to look at the feature set. Of course. All
bags will have a nice big pocket lor vour notebook, but is there space for the AC adapter,
external drives, CDs and floppies, ur spare batteries? And even if there is a combinatmn of
pockets to suit your needs, is their design well
thought uut and/or adaptable?
This is the point at which personal taste is
most salient. Everybody wants something dil'
ferent. You may take only your nutebook and
AC adapter whenever you hit the road, but I
might want to also take my external CI>-RW
drive (with its AC adapter and cables), my
portable printer (with its AC adapter 2nd
cables and/or banery pack), personal digital
assistant (again with AC adapter and sync
cables), the telephune-connection cord for my
modem, plus my audio cassette recorder, my
digital camera, and my ceU phone. too afl of
which require either AC adapters or spare batteries. A journalist must, after afl, be prepared
for any contingency.
Ideafl
y,ofcourse,each persun would have 0
case tailored to their requirements. Which is
why serious manufacturers have had to maintain 0 wide range of sizes, types and styles. I
once had a nylon case with compartmeiu

divi
dersthatwereattachedbyVelcrostripsand
could easily be moved or removaL But this
proved ultimately unworkable as making 0
snug pucketfor one device meant enlarging
the pocket next to it it seemed impussible to
arrange it so afl the pockets were snug enuugh
for each device.
To be considered tuo is whether the combination of pockets you have chosen are practically laid out and easily accessible. I was once
given a beaut ilul tan leather case with loads ot'
compartments to accommodate a complete
traveling office but found that I had tu pull
pramicafly everything out of the bag every
time I wanted to remove one thing friim the
lvag.
Where clamshell architecture in which
one side ofthe case unzips around three sidei
to expose the entire interior has been the
traditional layout of t h e past couple of
decades, the new trend is toward "top-load"
cases in which aflof the main pockets are
accessible from the top as the case stands
upright. This has several benefits, the tirst
being that everything in the case is Accessible
wiihout having to root around. You dun't
even need a desk or other surface in Front ol'
you toaccessyour stuff.Even when it's un the
floor you can easily reach inside to get your
stufF. Frequent flyers will appreciate this
direct access while squeezed into an airline
seat.
The next thing to check is the qualiry of
construction of the bag. I/nfortunate(y, it is
very difficult to teU whether a strong and
durable stitching has been used (hard used
cases usually start to show wear or actually fail
in this department). Fortunately, there is 0
subfle tip to let you know if you' re getting
good quality: check the length of the warranty.
It would bc economic suicide for poor quality
manufacturersto provide long-term warranties, so finding a bag that's guaranteed for
life or at least for several years should indicate
that proper stitching and durable materials
have been used.
Another thing to check is the hardwarethe buck)m, snaps. zippers and lanyards, and
swivels (where the shoulder strap anachesl.

putercarrycase industry has recently moved

toward what might be aUed a more "sporty"
look. Though the ever popular black i>r

brown leather or nylon bagsstill make up the

lion's share of the market. computer bags
made to look less like computer bags are
gaining a significant share of sales. There are
a number of models available now that look
more generic and less obviously like they
contain $7,000 worth of goods that csn be
easil
y fenced. Though not quite as sporty as,
say, a gym bag, the newest styles at least look
morc like conventional brief cases or portfolios. This is particularly true of the new toploading design.
AU things considered, finding the perfect
computer case is not easy (or anyone who
aauagy needs to take their computer gear on
the road. With so many manufacmrers offering so many choices. however, it is at least possible to approximate the ideal bag that balances equipment protection with fmtures.
quality, design and, of course, amthetic appeal,
to suit even the most idiosyncratic requirements. 0

Bringing your
notebook in
from the cold
orgatyourlaptopinthe carovernight?

If your answer is Ves, and the tampwatww dmpped below the freezing
mark, make eua you wait several hours

before turning it on.

According to Tommoqesed CaraTek
Integrated Business Soluoons

laupyiwse.carelekors),powarinuupyour
portable before it haa had time to acclimate

can be very coauy.

"When you run a laptop without warrnina
it up to room temparatum, you run a high
risk of cracking ae screen or damaging the

hwd disk," says Corny Maitaan, president

ol Caratek. Moat people think 10 minutes
is au their notebook reeds to warm up. Not
only is aet a huge miacorxxtpaon, it's an
expensivelesson to leam. These days,
apIacinua scnen costs between $000 and
04,000.Forthatpnca,you may as wellbuy
a bmndvew system."
Notebooks require four to five hours to
warm up the display and educe or auminate potenaal condenweon in the bawl
disk. ha says.
Maltean adds that despite tha pot8ntel
for disaster. it is fairly simple to avoid. The
Canadian mobile workfwca just needs to
be educated on laptop usage in the winter
CwwTak offers these tips for your travelling with your notebook PC in winter:
Don't switch your notebook on for at
least four Ieum after extended stays In

ae car.

Tax aoNware produot Snide

Due to the nature of tax software and Internet
distribution most tax products/serviceswere
not available for review at tbe time of this writing. The only products we were able to evaluate werc th two retail olferings: QuickTax and
TaxWiz. At this time, a gcaeral explanauon of
the produce and their dilFercnces will benefit

readersmore than a list of fcaturs,which ultimatdy reads morc like ae advertisement thee
anything else.
The one big advantage of a boxed, retail
product over an online tax software download
or service is ag the extra content contained on
the CD-ROM. Thus, if you want a tax program

with video cfips and lots of reference books

and step-by-step menus, you' ll want to check
out QuickTax Dduxe.
QuickTax comes in two vemions: Personal,
whichhas a suggested retailpriceof$24.95 and
$5 mail-in rabatand Dduxe (Mac or PC).
which has asuggested retail price of $34.95 and
the same rebate. For a dozen reasons, QuickTax
is tbc best pmsonal tax pmgram in Canada,
today. It isn't theche
apest but for mnensive features, ease of usc, mmprehensive help and
tutorials, multimedia fmtures, the ability to
import CanTax, HomTax lilcs for previous
years, and other reasons. QuickTax is the Rolls
Royce of personal tax programs.
TaxWiz, the other retail program, also

offer, that QuickTax docs not. is the ability to
process an unlimited number of returns (with
QuickTax, a maximum of 18 returns can be
Qed). TaxWiz is priced at $29.95, with a Sie
mail-in rebate. Even better, the TaxWiz Web
site service is only $7.95, and Canadians who
cern $20,000 or less can prepare their returns
online for free using TaxWiz.
lf you are looking for the cheapest way to do
your taxes and still use your computer, consider CoolTax, which is free again this year. For a
spreadshet-style download, you could try
Icicle Tax. And for those of you who haven't
quite gotten into a graphical environment yet.
ther is the DOS program TAX made EASY.
Most intriguing of aU is thc GriSTax site,
which offers a Macintosh download if desired,
as wdl as online tax calculauons and is even
intending to add Netfile submission this ymr.
If GriSTax can make its site a one-stop, 6U-itout-and-send-it-in tax centre. it will have

and GriSTax are planning to have the service

available by the time you read this. QuickTax
will usc its update finture to indude this function for those who qualify. If yuu have been
identified by the CCRA as a candidate, you
could go online and do your taxes today,
assuming you have rcceivcd your T4 slips.
Netfile is a pilot program and there arc
issuesto be darifi

software company looking at it, and some
involved in the pilot, there is hope that in the
next few years, ag taxpayers will be able to rev
up their Wcb bmwscrs and dick submit" to
file a tax return.
Tax software in Canada has gone through a
turbulent time reandy, and the number of
pmducts has thinned. However, with the continued evolution of our online lives, a new
environmentisd
eveloping that offers plenty of
opponunity for Internet tax return services.
Lest you fear a monopoly, let us make a prediction: nmn year will see thc number of tax

Photopaint DCE a bit foreboding. The bare
bones documentation is a bit frazded; for
example, telling users how to FTP to get more
cfipart images before describing how the program is streeterd to hdp process images. In
photo manipulation, there are four major
tasks usually done in order:
I. cropping/traasforming (Sip, rotate. shear.
etc.) the full image
2. colour corrections to the overall image;
3. retouching and/or 6xing specilic areas on
the htmgm
4.and Anally combining one or more images
into a total collage or composition.

retouches and smashing el(acts (and

PhotoPaint DCE basplentyl) is learning how to
mask or sret Imrt of the image elfmtively. The
good news is that PhotoPaint DCE has almost
ag the important masking tools. The bad news
is that tha is no one place m go tosee bow and
when to expcidy usc thesetools. Alas, the same
thing can be said for objects and layering.
For example, one of the basic tricks ie photo
manipulation is to mask olF an area. create a
copy of the area as an oh)mt and then transform either the object or the original masked
area and finally overlay in nifty ways the oriy;
inal object or a new image onto the selected
area. This requires some layering and masking
tricks that are wU within PhotoPaint DCE's
capabilities but not dearly explained. You'U
just have to start thinking of using PhotoPaint

few yearsago,a laserprinterwould have

been one of the last things you'd con.ider buying For usc at home. But now,
with more people telecommuting several days

ce
entirely, a laser printer is becoming a necessity.
inkjet printers offer a great balance betweea
crisp black text and full-colour photographic
output. Home users with a more business-oriented focus, however, would blast through ink
cartridges at an alarming rate and at great
expense.Forthese users,a personal laserprinter offers a more economical solution.
At first blush. laser printers seem like a very
pricey choice they' re more expensive than
inkjets, and cartridge replacement costs are
especially high if the drum unit is pan of the
replacement. While this is true, it doesn't factor in page counts. A $50 inkjet cartridge may
give you 200 pages of text, but a $200 laser
toner cartridge can give you anywhere from (0
to 30 times that number. Despite the higher
initial investment required for a laser printer,
high-volume users will see the payoff in fairly
short order.

housing. The drum is a plated cylinder that

spina,and an electricalchwge on thesurface of
the cylinder repds the black toner.
To get the toner onto the paper, the printer
"erases" the dcctrical charge in certain spots
on the drum's surface. Toner from the nearby
compartment thensticksto the drum in those
places. Asthe drum spina, it transfers the toner
to a sheet of paper, where it is fused in place by
a heating unit. Excesstoner is then scraped olf
thc druin, the drum is rcchargcd, and the
whole cyde starts again.
Since the drum unit typically has a circumfercnccofonly a few centimeters,mch printed
page takes several spina of the drum. The
charging, erasing, transferring and recharging
takes place in one fiuid motion: while one side
of the drum is laying toner onto the page, the
otherside is being dmned and recharged.
The reason the process is known as "laser"
printing is becausemost of these printers usea

is resolution. Althoughmanyprinterslist their

resolution in terms of "true" dpi, many others

list it in terms of "dpi dass." What meetly does
it mean. though?
When a printer lists 1400 dpi true resolution, it means that it is physically capable of
laying down 1300 dots per inch, one after
another.
lf a printer lists its resolution as (,200 dpi
dass. its uue resolution isactually lower in at
least one direinion, if not both (either
(,200x000 or 600x600, for example). It
achieves the feel of 1,200 dpi by slightly offsetting the paper and printing another row. It' s
notasd ean astrue),200 dpi,butmany people
wouldn't be able to tell the diffcrence without
a magnifying glass.
USB not quite universal
The univnsal serial bus (USB) interface has
been popping up cverywberyou look lately,

and th laser printer lidd is no exception, with

a good number of the new printers adopting
USB in addition to the traditional parallel
port. One common problem with USB and
laser printers, however, is that the installation
process isn't as transparent as it should be. In
general, the install programs assume that a
user will be installing the printer on the default
parallel port, LPTI, even when it detects the
printer during a USB hot- plug. Userscan go all
the way through the installation process with
no indication that anything will bevong.
If you' vegone through installation but your
printer still doesn't work it's generally a simple fix. Following installation, open up the
printers folder in the control panel and then
right-click on the printer in question.
Select Proparties, then dick on the Details
tab. Halfway down the diaogue box is a
pulldown menu labeled Print To The
Following Port. S'unply change this from
"LPTI" to the selection marked as the
USB driver for that printer (marked with a
portname like USB001 or SSUSBI). If you
can't find an appropriate USB driver, double
check the printer installation program you
may have to install USB drivers in a separate
optlolz

PCLS's high-speed hurdle

During testing, we noticed a problem while
trying to print large documents on a few of the
laser printers. After a bit of investigating, we
discovered that we werc consistently generating PCL enors while using the following combinationi
Larger file (big photo or longer text fde).
Samsung-based print en(p'ne.
PCL6 driver.
Faster PC processor coupled with I33 MHz
front-side bus.
ECP paralld port eaning.
Wc were able to duplicate the problem on
two different test systems, one of which was
running at 733MHz and thc other at 800MHz.
When we switched the parallel port settings to
EPP or standard parallel. the problem seemed
to reso(vc itself. There was no problem noted
priating to an ECP port when using the older
PCLSe driver. Likewise, printing on a 500 M Hz
machine using aa ECP setting generated no
errors. Adding addiuonal SIMM memory to
the printers did not appear to have any marked
efftut on the errors in most cases.
This could affect a few of the printers we
tested this month, induding printers from
Lexmark, Xerox and Samsung themselves,
although it should be noted that we only
encountered PCL6 errors on the Xemx and
Samsung models. At this point, the problem
may not affect too many of our readers. as
there are not yet many PCs running at a fast
enough speed to generate the ertors.Should
you be one of the ualucky ones (odd thing to
say to sommne with cutting-edge technology),

you can solve the problem by doing

any of the following:
Maire sure your parallel port is set
to EPP or standard (consult your
manual on how to switch these
settings on your motherboard's
BIOS).
Print using a PCL5e driver instead
of PCL6 (with most print jobs,
you won't notice any difference).
Print fries in smaller batchs.
Try adding additional SIMM
memory to see if it Sxes the problem; since this is expensive and
not guaranteed to solve the problem, it's not a solution for everyone.

Also in the new square design, the

HL-1250DX costs a bit more than
the HL-I030, but offers more value.
The print speed is higher. a USB
interface is added, and it stepsup to
PCL instead of using Windowsbased printing. Ultimately, this
makes the machine far more flexible
and expandable, and also addsMac
compatibility. For those who don' t
need networking, this modd offers a
lot of Bexibility for a reasonable
pfice.

however, the presentation-quality

NEC's SuperScript 870 is another
veteran in thelaser printer Beld. having been around since we last looked
at lasers. Again, it holds up fairly
well: while the print speed is a bit
slower than some of the others
looked at this month, the inclusion
of Adobe's PrintGar processor
speeds up time to first print. The relativly small amount of onboard
memory makes thstandard configuration more suitable for light-voluraeusers,and thelower streetprice
isalso an aurative feature forthose
who don't need a higher-end solution.

because it fits
stylistically with some of
thc other models looked at this month. Print
quality is excellent, and the P)202 clo.ks in at

that its ),200 dpi resolution is softwareenhanced and that i t d oesn't co ntam
PostScript as a standard item. This is especially disappointing considering the machine's
higher price point. The VSB interfaceis 4 nice
touch on a printer that is undoubtedly of high
quality, but it may nat be quite enough to justify the higher price tag. (Note: While this
printer is one of the models affencd by the
PCL6 problem detailed above, it should bc
stressed that this will only affen users withthe
very fastest processors. Most people will nat
encounter problems.)

Editor's choice
grother HL-1250DX
lt has a gist print speed, comes with both parallel and VSB interfaces, and print quality is
very good overall. The upgradability and lower
price makes it a very attractive choice.
Lexmnrk Optrs ES10
Though the print speed is a bit lower than
other printersat this price point, the indusion of both VSB and PostScript makes thc
E3)0 a powerful little unit. The expendability
and high print quality make it even nicer. 2

For a few $$ more

received a few units this month
that were slightly above the $1,000
mark, and we pulled them out of the
main body of the artide because they didn' t
really Bt in the same category with the others.
Still, we thought they werc worth looking at
and mentioning, for those looking for slighdy
higher-end solutions.

good balance between performance end

ships with only 4 MB of onhoard memory, it
can be upgraded to e whopping 132 MB,
ensuring that it can meet thc drmands of
even high-volume environments. With support for PostScript Level 3, it's even more

A major trend is the rapid growth in sales of databasesfor mobile

Some individual vendors are seeing outstanding growth rates 70
percent for IBM in tbe NT and Unix markets, and 65 percent for
Microsoft SQI. Servers in ERP, for example.
In sum, the Internet has energized databases and databases energize the lntcrnct. This review will describe how.

Inte
rnet energizes databases
The Internet has enerip'zcd databases in three ways. First and forenost,
the Web hasbrought a number of staadards for networking to the market. For example, TCP/IP has become the standard transport protocol;
IDAP, a mmmon data and directory lookup structure; and XMla data
interchange standard. And there are a host of other Intemct-inspired

and more rapidly approved standards arising mainly because of the

popularity of the Wcb.

systems for Web database connection to supplier

s and all sorts of c-business Wcb sites,
I'Iom amazon.com. through tradex.corn, to
zoncorn, and back to their own e-business sites to reach customers
directly.
The second way the Web and databases have interactcd welltogether
is in the arena of business intclligcnce (Bl). Business intelligence is
devotel to the task of deriving insights on the habits of customers or
performanm of suppliers. This is done by pmccssing and analyzing
existing marketing, sales, manufacturing and other data. Huge data
marts and data warehouseshavebccn built up over the past decade, well
before thc Wcb's popularity took olK
These data marts draw data from casting organizational database
and other internal and xtcrnal sources. The data is tbm made available
to users in formats morc amenable to viewing and analysis.
But in recent years the Wcb hasextended thc reach of Bl software to
all sorts of users through increasingly sophisticated connections.

componeats, images, and even data you just

entered or entered in a previous session. As
soon as you go to a site like amazon.corn, it
checks its databases to see what personal
customizations and previous business you
did at the site, then builds the Web page that
you Bnagy see.
According to many analysts, this ability to
customize and cater to each customer is a
vital advantage to any organization. And
given that popular Web sites have hundreds
of thousands (if not millions) of customers,
one can quickly appreciate the vital role
databases play in allowing customized Web
page creation and services.
But of course, Web database use does not
stop here. Internet companies are vitally
interested in what their customers are doing
and what they want. This means they are
willing to record ag your mouse clicks and ag
the navigation you do on their site so they
can find out what page and products or services are of interest to you and what are not.
IBM has run a series of nifty e-business
televison commercials showing how customers are surveyed in traditional focus
groups. One member, disgusted with the
proceedings, echoes the group sentiments as
he starts yelling to the people behind the
one-way mirror, "You don't know us; you
don't know what we want. No more. Now ecommerce companies do "know you" and
track aU that you do. And some even seU that
information to other 6rms.
Finally, databases are vital in implementing aU those back ofBce chores that make

Sympatico, Lycos to join portal forces

TORONTO Bell Canada (bttp //www.bell.ca)which operates Sympatico (hnp://www.sympatt
co.ca). this country's largest Internet service
provider (ISP) has announced plans to team
with Lycos Inc.to create a new Internet company to manage its portal business.
BeU Canada,owned largely by BCE Inc.of
Montreal, said it would own thc majority stake
in the new outfit, to be mged Sympatico-Lycos
in recognition of the Lycos brand.
"Our objective behind the juint venture is ta
leverage the capabilities of both partners to
create the most advanced business-to-consumer portal for English- and French-speak-

on the ISP services offered by other BCE owners for affiliated telephone companies across
Canada.
Monty said that an overwhelming share of
its subscribers keep the Sympatico portal as
their default start pageven after they become
mure-savvy Web users.
The Lycus network of Web sites includes its
Uagship portal, sister search engine Hutgat,
and the personal Web paghost Tripod. Its
search engines, chat raums, shupping portals,
and free email services attract some 29 million
visitors a month.

"We evaluated poteatial parmers based on a
number of key criteria that were consistent
with how we will approach the Interact,"
Monty said. "First, our partner has to be

Sympatico dial-up and high speed Internet
access services will feature the combined
Sympatico-Lycee content, community, and
commerce oKrings on an exc)naive basis.
Bub Davis, president and chief executive
officer of Lycos, said that the deal "is very
much more than a licensing transaaion. It's a
new companythat we have formed, each ofus
contributing a good amount of our Internet
assets to this. We think that, on the backs of
what we' re doing with this new business, we
can grow substantive advertising streams as
well as substantive commerce streams."
Davis said the Lycos approach to the BU
Canada deal was similar to that it has takea in
other international alliances, such as with

Bertelsmann.
As part of the agreement, Bell Canada will
invest $37 million to form the new company
and own a share of a little more than 70 percent. In addition, Bell ActiMdia, the marketing unit that promotes Bell's online businesses
and its telephone directory services, siyned a
$60 million multi-year agreement to promote
Bell products to U.S. Lycos Network users who

Merc Tegier, formerly vice-presideat uf new

ronto, Montreal and Vancouver have

become major centres for film and TV
pmduction, but in most cases the
shows being made depict their Canadian
location es some generic American city. There
have been a number of series over the years
produced in Canada with a particular
Canadian flavour. Sometimes that fiavour
has been cheesy and cheap, and et other
times it has been tasty enough for others
around the world to enjoy. In this aiticIe we
take s quick tour of Web sites devoted to
Canuck television past and present.

While made on the cheap, its twisted sense
of humour and the many odd characters
Van played in the show made it a hit wfih
many Canadian kids. The producer of this
Web site has done extensive research an
the show and produced a documentwy

It is absolutely fascinating to read, in Henry
Ford's own words, how the car wss intended to
be a farm tractor, or about the vision of the
year 2000 at the 1964 World's Fair. or how a
legion of thinkers, ranging back to Samuel
Gompers (the Erst president of the American
Federation of Labor from 1886 to 1924), saw

technology as "producing wealth for the few

but grinding down the commoa man."
Rhodes allows us to look at how people
greeted and adapted to new techuology just
one,two or three generations sgo. As many

people have realized, the rate of technological

innovation is following the same exponential
curve as world population growth and wiR
be having the sameconsequences.

If you' re lucky, things will work the first time

you try them and you can say "that was a
snap!" Be aware, however, that P PPsetupdoesn't always go smoothly on the Erst or even the
second try. There are many factors involved,
from modem to ISP authentication procedures
to permissions on 6)es.
If you have access to the Internet, your
best bet if you' re having setup difficulties is
to try one of the relevant newsgraups or
mailing lists. Red Hat maintains a mailing
list devoted exclusively to PPP problems and
troubleshooting. You can subscribe hy entering subscribe as the subject and sending an
email to redhat-000-Bst-requas!@redhaLcom. You
may also want to try one of the Internet
newsgroups such as camp,os,gnvx.nelvarkin0 or
linux.redbat.misc.

First add the data control or navigation bar
to the form. We will need to set three important properties in the data controL The first
property. Connect, tdls what type of database
we are connecting to. Set Connect to Access.
The second property,DatabaseName, identifies the speciTic Access database to be used.
When you highlight the DatabaseName in the
property sheet, a button with three dots in it
wig appear. Click on this button to browse for

the NWind.mdb Access database (you may

need to use Windows Explorer'sTools I Find I File
command tolocate the database beforehand).
The third property you want to set is
RecordSource. Again, when you highlight
RecordSourcein the property sheet, a combobox appears. Pull it down and click on the
Product table. With these three simple steps
you have letVB know the type and name of the
database to use, and what speiii table from
that database the data will be extracted from.
We' ve just wired up the data ontrol so it' s

ready for databaseaess.

Next add the database grid control to the
form in the lower portion (see Figure 2). To
wire up the database grid control, we have to
set two properties. The first, DataSource, can
be set in the property sheet. fust choose Datal
&om Datasource's combobox.
Next, dick anywhere on the grid control with
the right-mouse button and a popup menu will
appear. Click on RetrieveFields and the column
headers will appear in the database grid controL
The last step will be to add two textboxes in
which the ProduTName and UnitPrice fields
fmm the Product table will be displayed.
Add two textboxes asshown in Figure i. The
second textbox is deliberately oversized to display the elastic effects. UnitPrice will easily fit
inside it.
To wire up the textboxes for displaying database fields, for the first textbox, set its

However,changes to the contents of an

have to start again creating your Word file.
