Presidentrsquos Letter

Many thanks to all the people who helpedout at ACT Alive on Canberra Day especiallyto Eddie and Sharon de Bear and GordonUrquhart who did all the transporting andmoving of things back and forth to the CentreIt was a very successful day for the group andvolunteers must have enjoyed themselves asno one seemed in a hurry to leave

It is interesting when you look around atthe Committee our volunteers and at the mainmeetings there is a predominance of malesvisible in the group I wonder if this is a factof life or an anomaly that the computer worldhas generated I for one would certainly liketo see more women involved in the groupPerhaps all you men will forgive me this onceas I indulge myself and make a call for womenwho would like to participate in the group toplease get in touch with me

The upgrade to a 256k link along with theadditional modems on TIP has certainly madea big improvement Is it really only just over

two years since we went into the projectwith lots of projections a 64k link about12 lines and a prayer for 500 subscribersin the first year

To all who have stuck by us throughthe times of not being able to log onbetween 6pm and midnight intermittentnewsfeeds and slow downloads thank youfor keeping the faith We now seem to beholding our own however no one canpredict the future Telecom needs to bewatched closely as anyone who subscribesto the relevant email and newsgroups willtell you There is a lot of small print in the900 page Telecommunications Bill thatwas passed through the Senate in lateMarch

February Committee MeetingThe Committee discussed legal advice thathad been sought on a Committee memberwho is directly involved with a commercialInternet service The member responded

that he saw no conflict of interest or breachof the ACTrsquos Associations Incorporated Actand would continue to serve on theCommittee Following the legal advice theCommittee has taken no further action

The draft of our submission to the SenateCommittee inquiry into the Telecom-munications Bill was tabled

The Committee has purchased a newlaptop computer to be used at various venuesthat we attend

Additional chairs have been approvedfor the meeting area

The Communication Policy Teamadvised that they were working with JohnDunn in preparing a comprehensive membersurvey

Ken Livingston was elected to the IPMCto replace Karl Auer

It was agreed to order the MicrosoftInternet Explorer Administration Kit As this

As mentioned here last month there area few changes occurring on the editorial teamThis month two of our very valuable teammembers Val Thomson and Jim Hume havedecided to wrap thing up As always a simplethank-you seems so inadequate in con-sideration of all the time and energy they havespent in making our journal the awardwinning production that it is They willcertainly be missed and I would like to statemy deepest appreciation for a job well doneand how much I will miss working with themBoth of these members have contributed tothe journal for years in many ways anddeserve a big Thank You from us all

It should be obvious to all members thatnow is the time for anyone who can donatesome effort to assist in producing the journalto contact the committee No volunteers nomagazine - itrsquos that simple As I stated last

month without member support thecommitteersquos options are extremely limitedregarding the production of our journalCombined with my departure as Editornext month it is vital that we address theneed for additional volunteers on theeditorial team as quickly as possible

If you havenrsquot had a look at the on-line version of Sixteen Bits at httppcugorgaupcug16bits I think you willbe surprised by what you find there Atlong last the software on our Internet sitesupports Adobe Acrobat version 3 Youwill find some interesting features such asa lsquoliversquo table of contents where you cansimply click on an article to view it Thereare also sound clips here and there In thenear future (possibly this month) all of thelinks to web sites will also be lsquoliversquo Soanywhere you see a reference to a web site

you will simply need to click on it toautomatically jump to that site Stay tunedfor more surprises as we discover and learnthe many features of this software

Unfortunately (depending on your pointof view) MicroSoftrsquos Internet Explorerversion 3 has a known bug that prevents itfrom working with online Acrobat PDF filesso the site is best viewed with Netscape fornow Just days before writing this NetscapeCommunicator 4 (preview) and MS InternetExplorer 4 (beta) were released hopefullythey will work better with Acrobat files

Meanwhile in spite of all the bells andwhistles of online publishing it appears thatnothing beats hard copy I think it will be along time before most of us are willing togive up our lsquodead treersquo versions for variousgood reasons So grab a cuppa and enjoy

Meet The CommitteeCommittee members can be found at most PCUG functions but are also available thethird Saturday of each month from 2-4pm at the PCUG Centre This time has been setaside specifically for members to have an opportunity to meet committee members anddiscuss any issues or answer any questions members may have See you there

Last month Doug Gillies called for morekindness in the application of the lsquoUsers helpingusersrsquo principle He mentioned a member whoasked for help in one of the TIP newsgroupsand was told to RTFM I felt for this memberthe very first time I posted a message on theBulletin Board back in 1990 I was promptlytold to RTFM When I found out what it meantI was mortified at what seemed a rude andintolerant response and was very reluctant topost again

When I eventually met the writer of my RTFMmessage I was unsurprised to find him kindlyand mild-mannered By that time Irsquod figured outthat certain Real World conventions simplydidnrsquot apply online People write the rudestthings apparently without considering whotheyrsquore saying them to or about or the fact thattheyrsquore saying them in public They say themfurthermore without any expectation ofreproach lsquoItrsquos the Usenet culturersquo so Irsquom toldand out pop all the shibboleths about lsquomerepatterns in the phosphorrsquo and lsquosticks and stonesrsquo

Text carries a far heavier burden of meaningthan the spoken word Getting somethingacross in the absence of facial expressiontone of voice gesture and body language (letalone the opportunity to explain and elaborateon the spot) takes work and care Electronicmessages however are often dashed off inthe heat of the moment Posters seem to pridethemselves in writing as they speakndashor moreinformally (and impertinently) than theyspeak Furthermore jargon aboundsNewcomers are absolutely at liberty to sinkor swim in this exclusive and hostileambience

Our much-vaunted freedom to participaterests on the assumption that everyonersquostolerance and aptitude for verbal abuse is thesame Many peoplendashthose brought up in morecourteous times and those hamstrung byexpectations of lsquoladylikenessrsquo for examplendashmay find the atmosphere in public messageareas very uncomfortable Itrsquos a vain hopethat The Usenet Culture will change to takeaccount of these differences but Irsquom certainlywith Doug in wishing to see more kindnesson The Internet Project

Irsquom not suggesting there shouldnrsquot bevigorous debate among old acquaintances Iwould just like to see less sinking of the bootin response to innocent (or even dumb)questions Perhaps then the brawls would bebalanced by more exchanges between moreparticipants about more topics J

Doug Gillies letter in the March 1997 SixteenBits amazed me I have found so manyhelpers who sacrificed their time as well astheir petrol to install programs for me I cannever thank them enoughThey even taughtme to make better use of my software (seemy first letter in the February Sixteen Bits)

Alois Tush came back a second time to tryand sort out the problem with WorksYesterday Gordon Urquart came during hisprecious holiday to delete the faulty Works

has to be ordered from the US it could takequite a while before it can be implemented

So you see I am really extremely lucky butsurely I cannot be the only one

Elizabeth Ward

Providing that they applied the samephilosophy to Committee membership I couldapplaud the Committeersquos official view ldquotheperiodic turnover in Editors as with othervolunteers is a postive thing for the group Inthis way we donrsquot get stuck with one point ofview or one approach for a long period of timeand the magazine remains freshrdquo

It is assumed that candidates offering for thenext Committee election will state their lengthof time on our Committee together with theirprofessional qualifications

After having served two editors as a memberof the editorial team and as an articlecontributor the message to me from thePresident is clear it is time to go and I will beresigning from the editorial team at the sametime that the current editor leaves I wish thenew team the best of luck

The Rules andOther Good Stuff

Some members have expressed concern thatthey have lost TIP access because theirmembership renewals were not processedquickly enough Please remember that TIPaccess is dependent on your continuingPCUG membership and that it takes timeto process your membership renewalcurrently up to two weeks We are lookingat ways to reduce this time but the bestsolution is for you to remember to renewearly From this issue onwards there willbe a reminder published in this column everymonth Members particularly TIP userswhose PCUG membership expires at the endof the month stated in the box should renewtheir PCUG membership immediately Donot delay because your TIP access willautomatically be cut off at midnight on thelast day of the month unless your renewalhas been processed

Welcome to new members readingSIXTEEN BITS for the first time andwelcome to the PC Users Group

Continuing members should alsocheck this column regularly becauseI am sure that there will be some littlesurprises from time to time even forthe most jaded of old hands

If your PCUGmembership expires atthe end of May 1997

RENEW NOW to avoidlosing TIP access

RYPTOGRAPHY

This is the second of a two part feature onthe technology of cryptography Last monthpublic key cryptosystems were explainedThis month secret key ciphers are explainedand the controversial US export controls oncryptographic technology are examined

Secret key cryptography is theclassic type and has been aroundfor thousands of years Itrsquossometimes called symmetric

cryptography because the same key is usedto encrypt and decrypt a message The keymust therefore be kept secret or it becomesuseless since anyone who has the key candecrypt messages created with it They canalso generate mischievous messages orimpersonate a legitimate user of the key

Because the two parties to a conversationshare the same key non-repudiation isimpossible with secret key cryptography Amessage created and signed by one partycould have easily been signed by the other

party because they are both using the samekey

Secret key systems are inherentlysimpler than public key systems so there arequite a few of them in existence forcomputing One of the first was DES (DataEncryption Standard) which was publishedway back in 1977 in the US and uses a 56bit key DES takes a 64 bit chunk of amessage and garbles this into 64 bits ofciphertext

Since DES processes blocks of themessage with a defined length it is called ablock cipher (The illustration shows howDES works) DES doesnrsquot involve anyspecial mathematics In fact it relies on afew simple operations including bitshuffling substitution and simple logicaloperations

DES is still in wide usage today and isconsidered sufficiently strong that the USgovernment until very recently had ablanket ban on export of products whichused it

The fact that a cipher almost 20 yearsold is still considered useful illustrates animportant point in cryptography Ciphersand wine share a common feature - bothnormally improve with age The reason issimple If after such a long time no-onehas been able to work out a quick way tobreak a cipher then it must be good Unlikea lot of software these days reliability andtrustworthiness are absolute essentials forcryptographic algorithms and software

The need to expose ciphers to widepublic use - and abuse - before there can beconfidence in them also means that do-it-yourself ciphers generally arenrsquot trusted There might be some obscure attack orbackdoor that the designer has missed or

even deliberately put in place Neverthelessthere are some incredibly simple cipherswhich anyone can implement and use Oneof these called the lsquoone time padrsquo consistsof nothing more than combining a messagebit by bit with a lsquokeyrsquo consisting of arandom string of bits of the same lengthusing the exclusive or (XOR) logicaloperation Decryption is performed bysimply XORing with the same key again Itmight sound surprising but the one time pad

is the most secure cipher known if doneproperly Doing it properly meansunfortunately using a fresh key of randombits every time and the key must be trulyrandom - not generated with a pseudo-random algorithm

Coming back to DES if you take a quicklook at the detail of how it works you mightask why it goes through such a complex setof steps There are two reasons An attackerwonrsquot get too far by reversing the processbefore being stopped by a step involving akey (these canrsquot be reversed without thekey) The second reason is to make itrelatively inefficient when implemented insoftware so anyone who tries guessing keysrandomly will take that much longer to testeach one In fact key guessing is about aseffective as any other method for breakingDES

How secure is DES With the computingpower available now it is consideredfeasible to crack a message encrypted witha key only 56 bits long Nevertheless itwouldnrsquot be a trivial exercise since there are2^54 possible keys or about 18 x 10^16 Ifeach key took one millisecond to check itwould take over half a million years to testevery possible key

ldquoIf each key took one millisecond to check it would takeover half a million years to test every possible keyrdquo

In reality a key can be tested in a lotless than a millisecond In a recent challengein the US by RSA Data Security a 40 bitsecret key cipher was broken in about twoand half hours by using a whole stack ofcomputers in parallel No-one has crackedthe 56 bit challenge issued at the same time(at least at the time of writing this whichwas several weeks after the challenge wasissued) A 56 bit key is roughly 2^16 timesmore difficult to break meaning it wouldtake over 18 years to break with the samecomputing power used for the 40 bit key

Even if a 56 bit key was too short foryour security needs there are also schemesfor encryption with DES using two differentkeys in an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt cycleThis system sometime called triple DESmore than doubles the effective key lengthand provides truly remarkable security

Other common secret key algorithmsinclude IDEA (International DataEncryption Algorithm) which is used inPretty Good Privacy RC4 and RC5 ThelsquoRCrsquo series ciphers (also proprietaryproducts of RSA Data Security) are used inNetscape Navigator

US Export ControlsAs in many other technology areas theUnited States has been one of the leaders inthe development of crytosystems Manypowerful ciphers are available commerciallyin US products But the US government hasuntil recently had an almost total ban on theexport of most such products

The US government even used to treatcommercial cryptosystems as munitions forexport purposes Cryptographic softwareexports would often receive scrutiny fromthe US national security agency

Recent promises by major US IT firmsto incorporate lsquokey recoveryrsquo in theirproducts has lead to a relaxation on exportcontrols A statement by the White Houseon 1 October last year said that firms thatbuilt key recovery into their products wouldbe able to export much more powerfulcryptosystems for a trial period of two years

The actual details of what was meant bykey recovery were released by the USadministration just before Christmas 1996For practical purposes they differ little fromanother controversial and widely criticisedpolicy called key escrow which involveslodging all keys with a governmentauthority

The US government justifies itsinsistence on key recovery systems so thatit can continue to eavesdrop on criminalelements or terrorists taking advantage of

powerful cryptographic processes to hidetheir activities from the law

This means that the real interest by USauthorities is in cryptographic techniquesused for secret conversations The US hasno concern about encryption software thatcan only be used for digital signatures andmessage authentication

So far so good But on closer exndashamination the logic becomes harder tofollow The US government is controllingexport of cryptosystems not access to themin the US US citizens including thoseabroad have unrestricted access to verystrong encryption technology US citizenswill not even be obliged to use software thatincludes the key recovery systems mandatedfor exports In fact the October 1996statement by the White House makes thepolicy pretty clear ldquodomestic use of keyrecovery will be voluntary and any

American will remain free to use anyencryption system domesticallyrdquo

So how will the inclusion of keyrecovery in lsquoexport onlyrsquo products help TheUS government seems to be hoping that itskey recovery idea will become a de factointernational standard and that the US firmsmaking this software simply will not botherproducing two versions - one with and onewithout key recovery Instead they willproduce one version with key recovery Untilthis happens (if it ever does) the USgovernment will only be able to decryptmessages originated from overseas usingexported US software They will only beable to decrypt where a foreign governmentobtains the keys and hands them over Therecent White House statement says ldquoaccessto keys would be provided in accordancewith (export) destination country policiesand bilateral understandingsrdquo

A major problem highlighted by thecritics of US policy is that much of theencryption technology is already availableoverseas Much of it can apparently be usedlegally outside the US and even importedinto the US - yet it still canrsquot be exported byUS software vendors

For example DES is a publishedstandard and is widely available in manyparts of the world but until recently waseffectively the subject of a US export banAustralia is a case in point DES islegitimately available from a number of ourspecialist IT security firms for exampleEracom on the Gold Coast

In the case of RSA this is protected bypatent in the US However that hasnrsquotstopped it being available in other countriesin non-US products

The US government is not alone inhaving controls on use or export of crypndashtography France bans use of cryptographyby its citizens completely Closer to homethe Australian government also has exportcontrols on cryptographic software andhardware - although not a stringent as thosein the US Many other countries have thesetypes of controls as well

In spite of the well-intentioned motivesbehind restrictions on cryptography it seemshard to imagine that crooks and terroristswill be more vulnerable They are likely togain access to all the cryptographic

Setting Up a Commercial Site onthe Internet with Web Graphics

At the beginning of March I launched a newcommercial site on the Internet - InfoRomSince I know virtually nothing about HTMLprogramming and since I am something of anovice at this game I thought you might beinterested in

a) My experience of setting up acommercial site

b) My evaluation of how suited CorelWeb Graphics is to this purpose

I was in fact involved in EdRev anunsuccessful Internet project that was up onthe Net for much of 1996 Hopefully I havelearned from the experience - as Peter Cookused to say ldquoI have learned from my mistakesand I can repeat every one of them perfectlyrdquo

Developing Your Site ConceptBefore setting up your site it is important tohave a clear idea in mind as to why the site isthere what services you wish to provide andwhat sort of clients you are aiming at WithEdRev my idea had been to provide in-depthreviews of CD-ROM educational softwareover the Internet - people would not be able toaccess the reviews until they had taken up asubscription - or at least trialled the servicefor a month People out there did not respondto this approach - and the big problem frommy point of view was that I was putting vastamounts of time into writing the reviews andgetting little return

With InfoRom I decided to write shortermuch tighter reviews make them available forfree but offer access to question and answersupport on any of the products reviewed for asmall fee That way I figured that I wouldnrsquothave to invest too much effort up front but Iwould be putting my time and energy intoanswering questions for paid up subscribers Ialso decided to start including selected gamesas well as educational software so as to widenthe appeal of the service

Corel Web Transit - Word to HTML

Having written the reviews (inWord 6 for Windows) the nextstep was to convert them intoHTML format This proved to besomewhat easier than I had expectedWeb Transit makes the process prettyautomatic and it carried over my formattingand styles without any problem The onlydifficulty I found was that occasionally itwould add a couple of unwanted line breaksat the top of the page and very occasionallyan unwanted bookmark to the text at the topWhere this happened I simply deleted the linebreaks and changed the formatting to removethe bookmark There was no logical reason forthese unwanted inclusions - I suspect that itwas just a bug in the program Diagram 1 iswhat the Transit screen looks like You set updestination and source then click translatethen click the Web Designer icon if you wantto format and modify the file or click thebrowser icon to see what it will look like onthe Web

Corel Web Designer - Formattingand Enhancing the Site Pages

Web Designer is another of the Corel WebGraphics package components and (with thehelp of my daughter Naomi) I used this to dothe following

middot Fancy up headings and the appearanceof the text

middot Add internal links eg from the bottomof the page to the top

middot Add external links to other files egSubject Index

By Nick Thomson

Diagram 1

cd romcd rom


middot Add external files to other sites eg thesites of the software suppliers

middot Add graphics

All of the above processes were easy andreliable and I was able to undertake all of themsuccessfully despite not having any knowledgeof HTML programming I only encounteredthree shortcomings

1 If I had names with a mixture of upper andlower case the links didnrsquot always workproperly I overcame this by ensuring thatall my filenames were in lower case onlyI am not sure if this was a Web Graphicsproblem or just a general HTML issue

HTML is certainly casesensitive so beware

2 It is not possible to define orsave your own templates in Web

Designer It would have been veryhandy if I could have set up a template

with all the standard headings and linkseg to the Home Page built in - notpossible at this stage but I understand thatthis facility will be available in the nextupgrade of Web Designer

3 The formatting options are a bit limitedand it is not possible to define your ownstyles (although there is quite a good rangeof pre-defined styles available)

For graphics Naomi created a series ofneat little icons - one for each subject categoryThus at the top of each page there were twosmall graphics representing one or two subjectcategories for that review These were createdfrom clip art in Corel Draw then convertedand pasted in as gif or jpeg images (the twographic formats that are supported by HTML)We had tried using screen clips in EdRev -

they took forever to load and were a pain towork with so I decided against using them inInfoRom One of the golden rules of Web sitesis not to slow things down with too manygraphics - I get very frustrated waiting forsome of the software supplier sites to load -and I donrsquot want my potential clients to feelthat way about my site Diagram 2 is anexample of one of our pages

Selecting a Supplier andUploading Pages

The next step was to find a commercial sitesupplier I had been happy with service andvalue for money that we got at Spirit Networks(an ACT supplier) so I decided to go to themIt cost me $275 to set the site up (includingthe registration of my domain name on theInternet) and it is costing me $50 per monthfor maintaining the site (that includes a goodlevel of storage email traffic and the right toupdate whenever I like) - so it really isnrsquot tooexpensive a service As part of the setup costsa rep from Spirit came and helped my set upTIP email and FTP connections on mymachine Because of my newness to thisprocess I fired lots of questions (includingquite a few dumb ones) at them by email orphone in the first couple of weeks - I have tosay that they have been very patient and mosthelpful

I uploaded all the files by means of FTPand eureka it is working What a satisfyingfeeling to log on load up your browser andperuse a site that is all your own work Apartfrom a few faulty links (the result of incorrectentry on my part) everything was working fineimmediately and I have already added threelots of updates without difficulty

Marketing and Indexing the SiteWhen I was involved in EdRev I sent outapprox 600 emails to schools educationalagencies etc in the hope of winning somesubscribers For all that effort we got 2subscribers

I believe that one of the keys to the Internetis harnessing the power of the various searchprograms or Web Indexes by listing your sitewith them and doing whatever you need to doto ensure that your site has a reasonably good

Diagram 2(continued next page)


chance of being detected What I want is thatif someone searches for a particular packageeg Encarta or NHL 97 then they will bedirected to my site Thus the key is for not justmy home page but for every separate reviewpage to be picked up by the various indexesMost users stick with the big ones - as far as Ican tell they are

Excite

Infoseek

Lycos

Alta Vista

Magellan (subset of Excite)

Yahoo

Hot Bot

Web Crawler

Web Surfer

If anyone out there can suggest any otherlsquopopular onesrsquo please tell me My experienceis that there are two categories of Index

1 Those that list your home page and thentrace all of the links to the home page and(over time) add all of the other pages inyour site This can take 3 or 4 weeks Theseinclude Alta Vista Lycos Yahoo and (Ithink) Excite and Yahoo

2 Those that will only list the URL you haveentered eg Infoseek and Web Crawler

Thus I have taken two approaches Withcategory 1 eg Excite I have added just thehome page to the index although each time Ido an update I add the URL of what I estimatewill be the most popular choice for that weekto Excite and Hot Bot - thus increasing thelikelihood of my site appearing on thesesindexes in the short term Alta Vista Yahooand Lycos all actively discourage this process- but I will see whether the review pages ofmy sites are being picked up before I passjudgement on this

In the case of Infoseek and Web Crawler Ientered every single URL for all the pages inmy site (about 130 to begin with) - and everytime I do an update I add the URLs for thenew pages to these indexes It is timeconsuming but I believe that it is worth it Iam starting to get traffic to the site from allover the world but it is too early to tell howsuccessful my efforts have been

WebSurfer required a payment of $350(US) to be included - I wonder how long itwill be before this trend catches on with theothers At the bank I discovered that it wouldcost me $10 - to get a cheque drawn in USdollars - so the process cost me about $15

dollars And they wonder why Australia is notcompetitive on the international scene WhileI am grizzling about banks let me alsocomment that for every client that pays me bycheque in US dollars or pounds sterling it willcost me $5 to convert that cheque to Australiandollars The trick is of course to encouragepayment by credit card but I have not foundany of the banks I have spoken to so far to beparticularly eager to allow a small untriedbusiness like this to offer credit card facilitiesAre there any banks out there that encourageAustralians to transact internationalbusiness

There are a number of providers that offer(for a fee) to list you with lsquo100 Web indexesrsquoetc but since I figure that most people onlyuse the most popular ones I havenrsquot botheredwith them

Final CommentBasically it is now a matter of wait and seewhat the response is as well as ensure that thesite is visible on the various Web indexes Thewhole process has certainly been much easierthan I expected and I can certainly recommendCorelrsquos Web Graphics suite as a good way forbeginners to get a page up on the Internet witha minimum of fuss and bother Letrsquos hope thatthe subscribers start rolling in

A review by Alan Tebb

ldquoWhat is the name of the worldrsquos mosttattooed womanrdquo (See the answer at theend of this article)

I remember buying a copy of theGuinness Book of Records in 1979and thinking it contained the mostfascinating collection of trivial facts

and figures I had ever read Over the yearsthe book settled the occasional dinnerargument that strayed into the realm of ldquowhowas the tallest man everrdquo or ldquohow longwere the longest finger nails ever grownrdquoIt was like having the sideshow bearded ladyand the tattooed man between covers on thebookshelf every page was filled with thebizarre the freakish the unbelievable

But to be fair the Guinness Book ofRecords is more than a collection of thecurious or unusual In the month since Ibegan this review I have noticed the TV andthe newspapers have on three occasionscovered attempts to break Guinness records

Perhaps the Guinness record book fulfillsthat need in human beings to challenge theirenvironment do things that no other humanhas done before to better the incredible featsof others or to be just plain crazy Whateverthe motivation the drive to be a part ofGuinness historyndashif only for as long as arecord holdsndashis as popular now as when thewhole thing began in 1955

So naturally I was very interested to seewhat Grolier had done to make the GuinnessBook of Records a multimedia CD I wasnrsquotdisappointed Like its hardcover cousin theGuinness Multimedia Disc of Recordscontains the same extensive collection ofrecords plus a library of amazing film clipsand photographs you simply wonrsquot findanywhere else on CD

The opening interface looks like acollection of pub drink coasters It has eightpaths allowing the user to browse recordsgo straight to an index of all photographsview movie clips search by words search

1995 GuinnessMultimediaDisc of Records

by topics search by superlatives run theRandom Record Explorer or play the GuessWhat quiz

The record browser lists almost 15000records in alphabetical order and is the leasteffective way of finding your way aroundthe CD The Guinness Multimedia Disc ofRecords excels in its ability to search itsdatabase of records using some innovativeoptions The usual Boolean choices areavailable or you can have fun searching bysuperlatives such as ldquotallestrdquo or ldquoheaviestrdquoThe CD will then list all the records thatinclude the chosen adjective The otheralternative is to search through topic treesthat branch out from a few key subjects allthe way to individual records an approachoften seen in CD encyclopaedias

The disc contains over 1000photographs from the Guinness collectionincluding what must be considered some ofthe most unusual and fascinating picturesassembled in one publication The majorityof photos and videos are very high in qualityand in the case of the photos these can beprinted

My only disappointment with theGuinness Multimedia Disc of Records is thefact that it did not have a country specificsupplement The thing I liked most aboutmy 1979 hard copy version was the 30 pagesof Australia-only records at the back Evenso the multimedia version is every bit asentertaining interesting and informative asI had hoped it would be With the addedadvantage of film clips sound and greatsearch capabilities I think it is better thanthe hard copy version Now if I can onlyremember some of those unusual facts andfigures I might be a much better TrivialPursuit player

So here we are - itrsquos about 930 amon a fine Sunday morning and Irsquomcruising along the 210 freewayeastbound from Pasadena on the

way to the computer marketplace atPomona The traffic is light moving freelydown the 6 lanes between 70 and 80 mph(forgive the non-metrics therersquos a lot ofcatching up to do here) The speed limit wasincreased from 55 to 65 mph after the oilcrisis was ldquooverrdquo and the highway patroltend to frown on anyone faster or slowerthan 65 to 80 The radio is tuned to K-Earth1011 ldquoOldiesrdquo radio (appropriate for me)the Big-O is extolling the virtues of PrettyWomen and all is right with the world

Irsquove done my homework the day beforeby visiting FRYrsquos Electronics in Burbank -a huge high-tech megastore with a computersection roughly the size of David JonesThey are generally in the lower range ofcomputer retail prices - so it is worth seeinghow they compare to values at the Pomonamarketplace

Some example of prices at FRYrsquos (forsome things I was thinking of buying) are

Tape Backup unitsIomega Ditto 2Gb - $150 (Aus $207 after825 CA sales tax and conversion at 1275)Connor 32Gb - $229 A$316HP Colorado 32Gb - $209 A$288

Back to Sunday and thehardest part of the trip is theU-turn into the LA County

fairgroundrsquos car park - there are 6 entrancelanes with only 2-3 cars in each so gettingto park is pretty painless except for the $5parking fee Ouch A dollar up since lasttime Then another shock to the wallet -entrance fee has increased from $7 to $8for adults (and no Seniors discount) So atotal of $13 A$18 before making it into thefirst hall A friend and I discussed theentrance price and concluded that it mightbe a cunning psychological plot - Itrsquos costso much to get this far that one should reallybuy plenty to make it all worthwhileEverybody wins organisers and dealers thatis But itrsquos certainly possible to recoup theentrance money with a purchase of aCDROM For example MS Encarta 97 wasgoing for $26 (A$36)

There is at least one and sometimes twocomputer shows somewhere in LA eachweekend but this I think this one is thebiggest It is held in two large halls(sometimes three) Each hall is capable ofeasily accommodating around 150 largishstands with 10-15 foot aisles Therersquos 4 or 5radio stations here - at least 2 broadcastingand the rest handing out various ldquofreebiesrdquowhile relaying their station overloudspeakers Add to that various spruikersshouting their wares (ldquoNo CDs over $5 onthis tablerdquo ldquoLowest motherboard prices atthe showrdquo) numerous ldquomultimediardquo demos

and a few thousand people trying to makethemselves heard It is pretty noisy

I checked with the organisers and theysaid that they average around 8000attendees per day - so up to 20000 over agood two day weekend show It surprisedme that is was that low as it can get reallycrowded (2 or 3 deep at some stands)

There were over 300 dealers that day -about average However every 2-3 monthsthe organisers run 20-30 short seminars inconjunction with the market at the Sheratonsuites on the fairground complex On thoseoccasions the attendance at the marketincreases by 30 or more

So why do people keep coming back tothese shows Are the prices so much betterHere are a few examples

The only direct comparison with FRYrsquosprices was for the HP 32 Gb tape backupunit - $209 at FRYrsquos - $149 at the marketSo it can definitely be worth the trip BUTsome of the dealers may not be around toolong to honour warranties and there aresome definitely ldquoshonkyrdquo practices goingon An example is the almost universalpractice of breaking up CDROM ldquobundlesrdquoto sell separately a practice much frownedupon by OEMs Caveat Emptor

So what was hot or different at thismarketplace

Well the new ATX format motherboardsand cases seemed to be selling well Forthose who donrsquot know - ATX is the new

mechanical layout with some electricalimprovements agreed by the major man-ufacturers (the first major mechanicalchange since the original PC) The mostobvious difference in the new motherboardsis on-board connectors (including USB andIR) and externally removable panels on thecases (you need a new case and Powersupply with the new motherboards) Butthere are many more changes infunctionality including ldquogreenrdquo systemPower supply control - never turn the system

off (except by unplugging it) Boards were$150 A$207 and up and cases with PSUsaround $75 A$104

Recordable CDROM drives were sellingwell with media down to $8 A$11 Didnrsquotsee any of the new DVD CD-ROM drivesbut these shows are not generally ldquocuttingedgerdquo more concentration on lower (slightlytrailing edge) prices

But I tried on a great pair of LCD 3Dglasses with modified game software - veryimpressive results The glasses switch 48times per sec (some noticeable flicker) andcome with a CDROM which include driversand some modified ldquoshoot-em-uprdquo gamesDescent 3D Nukem Doom etc for a totalof $99 A$137 The same stand also sold a4MB 128 bit Video card with hardwareMPEG2 decompression for $159 A$219Terminator-2 at full screen and full ratelooking better than your average TV

I even saw a $999 A$1378 home-use2-axis VR - that is Virtual Reality - chaircontrolled by the joystick It is quite quiet(as far as I could tell in amongst the racket)and apparently air driven with 50 degreesmovement in pitch and 55 degrees in roll

The monitor mounts in front of your kneesand the keyboard (for an optional operator -or simulation controller) behind the seatback There were speakers and joystick builtin also It seemed to be very fast and wasquite nauseating to watch Combine thiswith the 3D glasses for a total experience(if your stomach could take it)

There are probably more software thanhardware stands with CDROMs from $199up to $199 A$275 for Office 97 Pro upgrade(probably another unbundling job) Also 3

or 4 book stores - selling at coverprice less 25 for one book to coverprice less 35 for 5 or more books

Not all the stands are totallycomputer oriented There are a fairsprinkling of chiropractors (on thespot diagnosis) ldquoself defenserdquostands (mace amp pepper sprayselectric stun guns and (strangely)large knives) Cell phones pagerscigars and jewelry etc - you nameit A pretty large curtained off area(over 21 only) had several dealersselling thousands of ldquoadultrdquoCDROMs and videos A nice

change from the ldquooldrdquo days when that stuffwas included on most stands One of theradio stations was giving out ldquoEarthquakepreparationrdquo leaflets - modern times in LA

What did I buy Well - very restrainedfor me Only 16 Mb (2 X 8 Mb EDOSIMMs) of RAM - name brand (Toshiba) at$38 (A$52) each Also an HP Deskjetprinter colour refill kit At $55 (A$76) it waspretty expensive but it is supposed to refillcolour cartridges up to 24 times and B ampW up to 6 times so it could well be worth it- came with a package of business card paper(my choice parchment) also Oh and a W95or 31 Wincheck Version 40 softwarepackage at $1495 A$21 - I couldnrsquot resist

So after 2 12 hours I had taken a quickcheck around all the stands with no repeatsand I was out of there - all computered out(at least for one day) Irsquove been to that showat least 6 to 8 times before plus othersaround LA and I still get a mild adrenalinerush when going in - calculated to causeshopping frenzy


Confused aboutYoursquore not alone

By Nhan Tran

Getting onto the InternetYoursquove heard about the informationsuperhighway and you want to know moreYour kids want to get on the Internet butyou donrsquot know how to give them a driveYou have been using the Internet but whenyou asked for help you could not explainyour problems to the experts This article(or maybe a series of articles) gives you thewhole picture and some explanation on thevehicle you use to get on the superhighway

The SuperhighwayThe Internet is a complex (and sometimesconvoluted) network of superhighways Theroads may be a six-lane freeway a four-lanehighway a side street or even a narrow alleyThey may be on the ground above groundunderground at the bottom of the seas orflying high with the satellites in space

On top of that you donrsquot actually driveyour car It is driven by an automatic driverwhich is nearly blind and canrsquot see fartherthan the next turn It is weird It is unnaturalwhich may be the reason why it works andthe other ldquowell-designedrdquo networks failedThe whole network is based on the conceptof ldquobest effortsrdquo That is the robot driverswould try their best but not guarantee thatthey would take you to the destination

They try to find the best route for you Itmeans that if the road is too congested theymay make a U-turn get off the freeway andcrawl through a labyrinth of cat alleys Theroads are like the real ones sometimes thereis almost no traffic at all other times theylook like a huge car park The matter getsworse when you take into account of thedifferent timezones around the world Oneorsquoclock in Australia may be the rush hourin another country and if you want to getinformation from there you get caught inthe traffic

Because of these characteristicssomeone (I think it was Mitch Kapor thespreadsheet inventor) has made a comment

like ldquothe information superhighway is a ten-lane freeway in one direction and an ox-cart path in the otherrdquo

But if you can go to where you wantwould you care I donrsquot I treat the wholenetwork like a fuzzy cloud that magicallygives me the new freedom the newcommunity and the new set of problems

The Highway RampSo how do you get on this super highwayThere are places which are connected to thehighway network on one side and entrancesfor you to enter on the other They are calledservers Normally what you see on theInternet is what is stored at these serversbecause most people like you donrsquot wantstrangers to access your PC (I wouldnrsquot leta stranger into my house) Luckily there aremany servers with many goodies to look ator play with

Getting onto these servers is not easyYou use a modem connected to a phone lineto call the modem on the server When theserver modem answers the call they wouldstart the process of synchronisation Toomany standards and too many brands If youare unlucky your modem may refuse to talkto the other modem and you would spendhours of frustration and get a huge phonebill

The high pitch tone you hear from themodem is this process When both modemssatisfy that they can reliably talk to eachother the noise stops Then itrsquos the butlerrsquosturn

The ButlerThere is a very important program for yourInternet access It is a program that asks the

modem to make the call to the server andwhen connected requests a login on yourbehalf to the server

What is a login You come to a friendrsquosplace knock the door or ring the bellSomeone in the house would ask ldquowho isthererdquo and yoursquod say ldquoitrsquos just merdquo Yourfriend recognises your voice opens the doorand let you in If you work in a securedenvironment every morning when you enterthe building you would show your ID cardto the security guard

Your username (or user ID or login ID)and your password are equivalent to the IDcard If you get the dreaded ldquoaccess deniedrdquoit means (a) you (or the program that doeson your behalf) entered incorrect username(b) you entered wrong password or (c) youran out of access hours or the accessexpired or your PCUG membership

expiredThis program is

always there rendashgardless of how youstart your Internetsession Some

access the Internet by Eudora some byMicrosoft Internet Explorer some useNetscape They either have a built-inprogram to do this job or automatically callthis program to make the connection Evenif you donrsquot see it on the screen it is runningin the background The popular PC prondashgrams that can do this task are TrumpetWinsock (or TCPMAN) Shiva Chameleonor Dial-up Networking Connect etc

Once the connection is established thisprogram will take on the task of a butlerserving other programs Letrsquos look at thefollowing analogy

Letrsquos assume that you (or to be precisethe PC programs such as Eudora MSInternet Explorer Netscape etc) were aninvalid confined in a room You would needa butler to help you getting things outside

ldquoThe roads may be a six-lane freeway a four-lanehighway a side street or even a narrow alleyrdquo


the Internet

the room When you (Eudora InternetMail Netscape Mail) wanted to checkyour mail yoursquod ask the butler to checkthe letter box and bring letters to yourbed When you wanted to send lettersto friends or relative yoursquod ask thebutler to take it to the post office

When you (Free Agent InternetNews Netscape News) wanted to readnewspaper yoursquod ask the butler to goto the newsagent and buy newspaper foryou When you (Internet ExplorerNetscape Opera) wanted a book or avideo yoursquod ask the butler to buy suchand such books or videos for you

It is so important that without it youcanrsquot get anything f rom thesuperhighway So if you started yoursession from Trumpet Winsock whenthe connection has been made (ie whenyou see the message ldquoMy IP address is2031076xxxrdquo) donrsquot close or exit theprogram Minimise it and let it run inthe background so that it can serve otherprograms Otherwise you would getstrange and incomprehensible errormessage such as ldquowinsockdll missingrdquo(trust a programmer to tell you whatrsquoswrong in the program he or she wrote)

Thatrsquos enough for the boring stuffNext t ime wersquo l l ta lk about emai l(eletronic mail) news World Wide Web(if the Queen is doing it so why canrsquotwe) and other mysteries of the Internet

The Internet Clinic


A t the start of this year I startedto get interested again in an oldheroine from days of misspentyouth in the rsquo70s New York

underground poet-turned-singer Patti Smithldquothe Bob Dylan of the punk scenerdquoThought Irsquod see whether there was anythingon the Web and found anexcellent site at httpwwwoceanstarcompatti Tomy astonishment I found thatshe was in Australia on her firstmajor tour anywhere in years mainly for theBig Day Out outdoor concerts

I had heard of the Big Day Out tour viaTriple J but this was the first Irsquod heard ofher being on the bill After seeing other re-formed punk heroes Radio Birdman and theSex Pistols in 1996 was it possible I couldmake the trifecta Alas the Sydney eventhad been booked out for two weeks

Via the JJJ Web site httpwwwabcnetautriplejdefaulthtm I found theBig Day Out Web site httpstarbaitbdocomaustarbaitbdo and loand behold they were having live conndashnections to the Melbourne concert on the25th January via the Internet with the

assistance of a US-based organisation calledThe Campus (wwwthecampuscom) If Icouldnrsquot be there in Sydney to see Patti inperson this would be as close as I couldget In addition I had always seemed to findout about real-time events on the Web justafter theyrsquod occurred and here at least wasan opportunity to be in at the start it wouldbe an interesting technical exercise ifnothing else

First choice was browser InternetExplorer 3 or Netscape Navigator 3 I gatherIrsquom not unlike many in having been initiallybowled over with IE3 then finding that itwas less robust and in particular made fargreater demands on temporary storage thanNetscape With little free disk space and

being about to try all sortsof new things I decided toplay safe and use Navigator

The Big Day Out Website (figure 1) was well done

and looked great including animatedgraphics and good use of frames but wasif anything as the British say ldquotoo cleverby halfrdquo For example you selected optionsvia a Shockwave animation of ducks in ashooting gallery click the mouse on a duckwhen an alternative was highlighted yoursquodhear a BANG the duck would flop overbackwards and yoursquod be off to that optionVery cute very clever and very slow andfrustrating for actually going anywhere Inaddition it appeared that when you went tosome pages they called up some trick Javacode which brought up Netscape sessionsin what looked like Kiosk mode no menusLooked neat but again a nuisance The sitehad its own mascot a sort of anime-stylekick-boxing heroine called Miss Starbait (Iassume a risque in-joke try saying the namequickly)

Once you got to it the information wasthorough and well laid out A list of artistsincluded links for those who had Web pagesThere was a page on the Auckland concert(first in the series) with photos etc For eachcity on the tour the site had links to maps ofthe venues and also timetables I foundfrom this that in Melbourne Patti Smithwould be on Stage C 540 PM for an hour

There were two main components to theInternet part of the day a Real Audio feedwith both backstage comments and the

This is the era where everybody createsPatti Smith - ldquoSo you want to be a Rock n Roll Starrdquo 1979


stage and a new form of conferencingsoftware called The Palace where artistswould come for QampA sessions with fansIrsquod experimented with Real Audio but notto any great depth and had never even heardof Palace and I had to get this all togetherin a day Fortunately there were direct linkson the Big Day Out Web site

While I had a Real Audio stand-aloneplayer one page on the site came up with ablank expecting a Real Audio plug-in Ontothe Net to the Real Audio page todownload Real Audio player version 3Install restart Navigator back to the pageand voila A Real Audio control in themiddle of a Web page Painless

Then to work out which ISP to useUnfortunately the weekend was the onebefore the ldquoearly birdrdquo credits expired forTIP and I presume because of this it wasalmost impossible to get on One time whenI did get on I tested the Real Audiobackstage feed from Melbourne and foundI was only getting a 144k stream and poorquality at that I had a second backupaccount with Access One with a higherspeed (and far more expensive) networkand found that I could get a stable 288kReal Audio stream so that was going to be

what Irsquod have to use Not to mention thatthe time Patti Smith would be on would bepeak time anyway

Next step was to find Palace again viaa direct link from the BDO page to httpwwwthepalacecom I had used forms of

3D interactive software but Palace wasdifferent much simpler just 2D backndashgrounds Really a sort of IRC withbackdrops and sound effects For the BigDay Out the organisers had produced theirown backgrounds and sounds and I had todownload those as well from their siteHowever there were no instructions on howto set them up so it ended up being trialand error until I got it to work puttingimages and sounds in separate subdirndashectories under the Palace directory

Finally I had Palace running with the BigDay Out backdrops and found myselfoutside a circus tent which included livelinks to the Big Day Out and Campus Webpages (figure 2) Moving ldquoinsiderdquo the tentgot me to an area where I could don aparticular costume however choices werelimited for non-registered users andappeared to reset so I had to be content withthe default avatar a soft of sphere with aface on it (figure 3)

Finally there was the conference tentitself guarded by a fearsome lookingdoorman who asked for a passwordClicking on his lady companion told you tolook in the log Once Irsquod figured out howto do that I found it ldquomama cazrdquo Typedthat in response to the doorman and whoafound myself in this psychedelic room whichwas to be the conference area (figure 4)

Figure 3

Figure 2


I knew when Patti Smith was going tobe on stage what I didnrsquot know was whenshersquod be in conference in the Palace I waslistening to the back stage chatter via RealAudio this time more organised as Campuswas acting as ldquoon line radio stationrdquobroadcasting to the USA ldquoAustraliarsquosLollapolloozardquo and in the middle of this Iheard them give times for different artistsbeing in the virtual tent with Patti Smithroughly 430 Problem solved

430 arrived Back on line into the tentanother band (Supergrass) being inndashterviewed The conference area is now fullof faces with a still photo of the band downthe bottom left-hand corner Irsquove had verylittle experience with IRC and this seemsvery similar hard to follow with variousthreads of conversation going on sindashmultaneously but I gradually tune in to itTherersquos a thread going about problemspeople are having with reliably picking upReal Audio - oh dear As well as a fewAustralians there are a couple of Americansin there and a South African Then see thatPatti Smith is about to come on And sureenough C 440 the picture changes and thereshe is

Unfortunately the session is a bit of ashambles Unlike the younger artists (sherecently turned 50) she does not appear tobe familiar with the technology andsomeone else is doing the typing for herslowing down and complicating exchangesSeems to be the passing of the torch - a bitof a fish out of water in the environment ofa younger generation The bass player ofher backing group had suffered concussion20 minutes before from a collision with arogue door hence her lateness Thingsfinally get under way (one person ldquoa fanfrom WAY backrdquo says ldquonot many questionsjust adorationrdquo I can relate to that) but justas itrsquos building up a head of steam she getsa long phone call (presumably about the bassplayer) and has to call it quits prematurely

Irsquoll just have to wait and see if theconcert is any better

Well the concert is indeed better In factwhen I can hear it clearly (see later) itrsquoswonderful She starts with an early poemroaring it out with authority then afterthanks to JJJ who are handling the broadcastto the Internet and to the absent bass player

launches into the concert proper a greatblend of old and new

The sound quality is to put it mildlyvariable It was much better in earlier gigsthat day with Australian bands but itappears to drop off markedly on this onePerhaps too many people on at onceAmerican fans connecting in to hear one ofher first big shows in years Checking withstatistics in Real Audio shows theconnection approaching 20 loss in someearly songs leaving a very jerky soundFortunately it improves later with lossesdown to around 4 and sound quiteacceptable (People dropping out infrustration) However later on a fewoccasions the sound drops out completelyand I have to wait while it restarts somendashtimes for a couple of minutes

Then just as the concert comes to ashattering climax heading into one of myfavourite songs of hers a demolition of VanMorisonrsquos Gloria the Real Audio feed goesfor me at least dead Stone cold dead It islike the other times when it has dropped outbut this time it wonrsquot recover BummerAfter several minutes I can get the feedagain but just get an empty stage waitingfor the next band

So that was it a frustrating end to afrustrating but fascinating day At best thesound quality was am radio standards Butthen again these are very early days and Ican remember worse am radio sounds ontransistor radios as a kid in the lsquo60rsquos Avideo feed would have been real nice butone thing that is obvious from this exerciseis that live audio let alone live video ispushing current Internet technology to itslimits and beyond with a large numbers ofsimultaneous users in a function like thisSo as with so much on the Net wersquore seeingthe first glimpses of something that will takeanother generation of technology to becomepractical But hey this is the world of theNet and another generation could be onlysix months away

Later that night I connect to the Palacesite again and find a note at the tent to sayit was all over and to check up next week Ido indeed and they reckon over 100000people worldwide connected to the site thatone day and that the live broadcast of PattiSmithrsquos complete concert was a world firstApart from catching up with an old idol Irsquodseen a glimpse of a communications futureof being part of an event shared interactivelylive world-wide yet another step towardsthe Global Village

THE

INTERNETPROJECT

By Iain Gould

Welcome to TIP-TNG (The NextGeneration)

In case you hadnrsquot noticed yet TIP isnow connected to the rest of the world via ahigher speed (double what we had) link Weare now firing the electrons up and downthe pipe at 256k (thatrsquos 3 noughts -thousands in other words) bits every secondWhat this means in real terms is that ournewsgroups are updating more frequentlyweb pages and file transfers are much fasterand those of us that need to log in remotelycan do so with much less delay Boy are weimpressed

If you have not bothered to try TIP for awhile do so as we have seen a markedimprovement in the service provided afterthis upgrade and the installation of the extra12 modems in February (much less waitingto get on)

ANNOUNCEMENTSThe last two months has seen much goingson within the Internet Project ManagementCommittee For the uninitiated the IPMCis a caucus of techno-nerdygeeks tasked withthe onerous duty of ensuring that membersof the PCUG and AUUG have adequate andcomplete access to the wider resources ofthat part of the Information Super-highwayknown as simply The Internet Anyway wedecided on a lot of things recently Here theyare

1) Commercial Web Advertising Upuntil now TIP placed a restriction oncommercial advertising (that which wasobviously out to make money for the owner)- namely that only corporate members ofeither PCUG or AUUG could placeadvertising on their web pages We have

now opened up such commercial activitiesto general members of both organisationsFor the same fee that we currently charge tocorporate advertisers any individual cannow advertise on their web pages Refer tohttpwwwtipnetautipwebspacehtml fordetailed information and charging rates

2) Account Terminology The termslsquoAdvanced Accessrsquo and lsquoBasic Accessrsquoaccounts were deemed to be confusing (wehad too many requests for information onbasic Advanced access and training foradvanced Basic use) The accounts are nowreferred to as lsquoFull Accessrsquo and lsquoLimitedAccessrsquo respectively The use of the termsAdvanced Access hours and Basic Accesshours will continue for the time being untilwe sort out exactly what we want to callthem and where we need to changereferences to them The most obvious placethat this will change immediately is on theapplication form

3) Multiple Users of Accounts One ofthe regular lsquocomplaintsrsquo that we have beenreceiving has been on our policy to restrictaccount use to the account holder only Howmany of you out there realise that if youallowed your spousechildrenacquaintancesto have access to your password then youwere breaking our rules We donrsquot worrytoo much because we are now changing ourpolicy to open up account usage undercertain guidelines Namely

a) The primary account holder (the onewho originally applies for the account) willbe deemed ultimately responsible for anyuse of the account Heshe must still signthe Acceptable Use Policy and follow thoseterms and conditions and then ensure thataccount lsquodelegatesrsquo behave themselves too

b) The primary account holder mayallow use of hisher account by other familymembers The family members must benominated and lodged with TIP on a newlsquoAccount Delegationrsquo form

c) Only one login name and emailaddress is allocated (as currently) - ifadditional email addresses are required thenthey must be applied for as separateaccounts

d) Normal single user limits (accesshours disk quotas) still apply

We believe that this will allow familygroups some access to the Internet withoutneeding to sign up every members of thehousehold with TIP This policy will beelaborated on the web pages in the nearfuture for further information

4) We are still investigating methods ofproviding help guidance and assistance tousers who are new to TIP andor the InternetWe have been looking at newer lsquofool-proofrsquofirst time kits automated email helpresponses regularly published FAQs(frequently asked questions) and attractingmore volunteer helpers To achieve this lastgoal we are hoping that we can set up aregister of volunteers similar to the HelpDirectory published in Sixteen Bits forspecific areas of Internet use If you feltreluctant in the past to have your name listedfor fear of being asked questions outsideyour particular area of expertise interestthen let us know what you ARE willing tohelp with Are you a Netscape guru Or aWindows 95 Dial-Up Networking hotshotDo you think that you know a fair bit aboutIRC Then let us know

Internet Joke of the MonthAnother engineer joke (apologies for thereferences to USA - insert your favouritelocal university as applicable)

Three men were vacationing in CentralAmerica They were arrested for minor illegalactivities and because the dictator of the countryhated foreigners the punishment was death

The three men were marched to thechopping block The dictator of the countryasked the first man if he had any last wordsbefore they chopped his head off The man saidldquoThe only thing I can think to say is that Irsquom analumni of Notre Dame and we have the bestfootball players in the worldrdquo The dictator thensaid ldquoOff with his headrdquo When they pulled therope the blade fell but it stopped inches abovethe manrsquos neck The dictator said ldquoThis is anomen from God we cannot execute you Youare free to gordquo

The dictator of the country asked the secondman if he had any last words before theychopped his head off The man said ldquoThe onlything I can think to say is that Irsquom an alumni ofIndiana University and we have the bestbasketball players in the worldrdquo The dictatorthen said ldquoOff with his headrdquo When they pulledthe rope the blade fell but it stopped inchesabove the manrsquos neck The dictator said ldquoThisis an omen from God we cannot execute youYou are free to gordquo

Finally the dictator of the country asked thethird man if he had any last words before theychopped his head off The man said ldquoThe onlything I can think to say is that Irsquom an alumni ofPurdue University and we have the bestEngineers in the world and if yoursquoll just tightenup that bolt up there this machine will workrdquo

TransAct BroadbandCommunications Network

The ACTEW Corporation has recentlyconducted a feasibility study into buildinga broadband communication network inthe ACT It is claimed it would enhanceACTEWrsquos core business and provide theACT region with an economically viablecommunications network

The network would be funded throughoutside financing As there would be nocross-subsidies between varioustelecommunication business and theelectricity and water businesses therewould be no impact on electricity andwater bills now or in the future Known asTransAct Communications the feasibilitystudy was to be completed by March1997 ACTEW Corporation Board willmake a decision on the business caseduring April A key component of thestudy was to be community consultationand market research If the results werefavourable construction should commencein July 1997


I was consulted in their telemarketingresearch and talks have been held with thePC Users Group Aurisa Institute ofEngineers Australia and the BusinessCouncil of Australia The network couldcarry voice(telephone) video(TV) and data(intenet) over a high range of frequenciesand the cost of services would bedependent on the service providers ieTelephone companies Pay TV companiesand internet service providers ACTEWexpected that prices would be similar tocurrent prices for these services andsuggest that a single broad-band networkwould offer competition between serviceproviders

The network could carryvoice(telephone) video(TV) and

data (intenet)

Two companies have been shortlisted andtheir solutions are being costed to get anaccurate picture of the total cost ofbuilding the network The two companiesare Philips which has offered a HybridCoax (HFC) system and BroadbandTechnologies which offered a switchedbroadband (SDB) solution

The HFC solution as offered by Philipswould differ from similar cable systemsbeing strung in other parts of Australia inthat it would take optic fibre down toserve 60-90 homes per node rather than500-1500 homes The SDB solutionwould be unique in Australia (In use inparts of USA Korea and France) it takesoptic fibre to serve 32-40 homes per nodeBoth solutions have the ability to runadvanced interactive services By the timeof publication a further update may beavailable atwwwactewcomautransactinterhtm
