Road worrier
One of my staff recently described my fetish as
an "uncontrollable lust for electronic personal
organizers and information management
devices." This month, I decided to splurge and
get the granddaddy of all PDAs (personal digital assistants): the Newton MessagePad 2000, I
actually went out and bought one for $1,S49,
including akeyboard, spreadsheet and zippered case.

don't know of too many vendors who would be wIUing to accommodate their customers to that extent.
It seems that Seagate thinks this deceptive practice is perfectly acceptable and that I have no reason to feel short changed. Unfortunately for them,
I don't share that view! In spite of your Editors'
Choice, Seagate will not be my choice this time.
Your nther Editors' Choices will get my consideration. However, I will be ncaking sure that there is
only one version of the drive I decide nn.
John Jeninga, East Selkirk, MB, via email

conn<<cd(s. First, he seri<I that you are canal: that tice

pointed uut tlrat a clrange was made at somepaint during tire product's life <Tele. Xnv product docuncentatfon

Inci de<etr)fy,
< the drive you refer to is <r 1995 ucodel, and
is no longer in prod<tiun, crccurdlng to Seagate.
But urure to your concern, Lamont sai<f the reuse>

The plmuibllity of this was cunfirrne<f by our Lab

excited about.
The cache on thehurri dn've is nutlring more tharr a
)card<vore version of a su/hvare-level cache such as

movements of the heads. I the

practically Instantaneous. If the cac'heis small let's say

and you open up <r file that's 1.5 MB in size,
only the first 128KB of tlrat large file will be cached.
One should never forget that above all, the spin rate

As for
the600 and 800 models,theseareEpson's
latest models, andwill print at resolutions of up to
1440x720 dpi.The estimated street price for the 600
is about $450, while the 800will likely sell for $650.
The 800 is slightly faster than the 600, and is
designed for business, with network interface and
PostScript options available.
As to your question about ink cartridgesdryfng from
underuse,Epson's latestmanual(forthe600)suggests
that cartridgesmay haveto bereplaced after six months,
even if they still contain ink. It says the signs
areprints
that don't look as good asthey usedto, or print quality
that doesn't improveevenafter head cleaning.

Contrary to what you say, you CAN obtain

even if you' re not an AOL subscriber. Just go to:

Frleeeds of digital TV
Microsoft, Intel and Compaq are moving into
the digital TV business in a big way, but they
claim they want to do it in partnership with
the I'V industry not by competing against
it. At th e 1997 National Association of
Broadcasters convention in I.as Vegas, the
companies outlined their intent to "work
cooperatively" with the broadcasting and
cable television industries "to realize the full
tually pioneered the whole portable computing market and once held a vice-like grip on it.
"We are dedicated to re-establishing ourselves
as number one in portables,'" he said.
Winkler said that since the introduction
of an earlier range of value-priced notebook
computers last summer, the company has
already made some strides in regaining market share
claiming a number one position in
recent market surveys of $3,000-plus notebook computers (which are primarily those
used in business and by corporations).
The new Armada 1500 machines come in
three models and offer a choice of Intel's
Mobile Pentium Processors in either 120 MHz
or 133 MHz; 16 MB of RAM (expandable to 80
MB) and either a 11.3-inch color passive
matrix or a 12.1-inch color active matrix display. Also included in these machines are
either lithium-ion or enhanced smart nickel
metal hydride batteries, two Type ll or one
Type III CardBus PC Card slots, four user-programmable keys and a touchpad-style pointing device. All models include an integrated
10x CD-ROM drive, an integrated 33.6Kbps
data/faxmodem, and sound capability.
ln recognition of the fact that many corp orate customers have no t m o ved t o
Microsoft's Windows 95 computer operating
system and are instead opting for the newer
Windows NT 4.0 operating system, Compaq
has pre-installed both operating systems on
the Armada 1500 and users may choose
between them.
One option not currently available on
these lower-priced systems, however, is Intel's
new MMX multimedia computer processor.
Compaq is protnising it will introduce an
Armada 1500 notebook early in the third

Meanwhile, the pre-flight and post-flight
they start trying to use their notebook computers on the plane. Whether the ride is a

and accomplish all those things that fall into
the category of "I' ll do it on the plane."

ble-hinged plate that protects the LCD display when your Newton is not in use. When
you unlatch it, it conveniently swings to the
back of the unit and snaps into place. It can
also be removed.
The MessagePad 2000 is powered by four
AA alkaline batteries, which will give you
anywhere between three to six weeks of intermittent use, There are also the options of
alkaline rechargeables or a n i ckel-metal
hydride (NiMH) pack.
The LCD panel is noticeably larger and has
a higher resolution than in its predecessors. The
480x320 pixel, 14.9 cm (5.9-inch) display has a
resolution of 100 dots per inch and is capable of
displaying 16 levels of gray. It also has a backlight that you can use at your discretion.
System software
T he operating system t hat d r ives t he
MessagePad 2000 is Newton OS 2.1, and it has
come a long way since 1993. It was specifically designed from the ground up to support
robust communications capabilities. Apple
has spent a lot o f e ffort improving the
Newton OS, and its performance really shines
on this greatly enhanced hardware.

Some people buy the HP-200LX handhelds for the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet. Others
buy Windows CE devices for Pocket Excel.
There's nothing wrong with that, but if you
prefer one device, don't dismiss it just to
avoid learning a new spreadsheet syntax.
Modern spreadsheets are so similar that learning another is not really a problem.
You may find graphing capabilities useful.
If so, look for a spreadsheet that supports this.
Also n3D" inter-page referencing is a useful
feature that can be used to maintain small
spreadsheet layouts over larger data systemsbut eventually, you start losing track of the
data as you do with large single sheets.
Speed
We tested the speed of several PDA spreadsheets for horizontal and vertical calculations.
The "horizontal" and "vertical" refer to the
order the cells are calculated. The test sheet is
made up of successive cells, each multiplying
the previous cell by 1.001.
For the horizontal test, cell "Bl o is equal
to nA1'1.001". ln the "vertical" test sheet cell
"A2" is equal to %AI"1.001". Each test sheet
contains 400 calculations. Numerical formatting for the main test is fixed formatted with
- two decimal places. Final answers are reported at full precision.

If you have a special need, then you will probably narrow down the selection easily, but
overall, any of these devices provide good

awlessly.
I only have a few criticisms of this unit: the
LCD screen, even with backlighting, is difficult
to see in extreme lighting conditions; the aluminum touch-screen pen should have a rubber
grip as it's sometimes difficult to grasp in dry
conditions; and it takes a bit of getting used to
writing on the slippery screen surface. If Apple
could make the experience more like writing
on paper it would be a great advance.
summary
At a mere 675 g (1.5 lb.) with batteries, it is
arguable that the Newton MessagePad 2000
is the most powerful and sophisticated
handheld computer in the mainstream market today. It is ideally suited to situations
where mobility and ease of data entry are of

Processors
One exciting development is the use of leading-edge chips in mobile systents. In the past,
there was a significant lag in the movement of
high-end chips from desktop to notebook systems. However, the systems we reviewed this
month are sporting the latest MMX-enhanced
chips with clock speeds of up to 200 MHz.
Both heat and power requirements influ-
processor speeds.

Display screens
In the recent past, notebooks had very limited
graphic capabilities. Today, the quality of flatscreen displays has vastly improved, Still, buyers must remember that unlike desktop models, the laptop's display is a keeper. You may be
able to upgrade most of your notebook's parts
with the exception of the display. Fortunately,
LCD flat-panel technology has progressed so
rapidly that the best displays are of equal quality to their desktop cousins.
Common to all the systems is the incorporation of larger screen sizes. Some of the systems are pushing 14 inches at the time of this
writing. In addition, almost all of our tested
systems use active matrix TFI' rather than
older, passive matrix (DSTN) display technology. The benefits of active matrix over passive
matrix are sharper picture quality and the ability to view the display at a variety of angles.
Active matrix machines can give viewers the
benefit of millions of colors, with instantaneous response times, which are essential for
multimedia presentations.
The active displays also differ from passive
displays because you do not need to have a
direct, head-on view of the screen to see the
images clearly. For people using their systems
for boardroom presentations, this latter capability is of upmost importance
However, there is one key drawback to
active matrix displays price. Active matrix
displays are still rather expensive, so users who
are looking for a mobile system with cost as a
Storage
Processor and processor-enabling technologies
are not the only advances in this round up of
notebooks. Storage and connectivity devices of
all kinds are appearing in notebooks.
Storage capacity is no longer an issue for
these top-of-the-line systems. Hard drives
designed for notebooks have grown in capacity
and' continue to be more compact. A 2.1 GB
hard drive is standard in this month's round
up, with one particulat modei sporting a 3.1
GB drive.
Several systems offer space for an
additionai internal hard drive.
Again buyers should be aware that hard drives designed for mobile systems are much slower than their desktop cousins. This is due to a
mmbination of compact system integration,
slower transfer rates, lower spindle rates and
higher access times. This is a key reason why a
typical desktop machine will almost always outperform a similarly configured notebook.
ln addition to hard drive improvements,
this month's tested notebooks have some of
the most up-to-date storage features, like 10x
CD-ROM drives, and PD (phase change dual)
drives, which have only recently appeared in
desktop systems.
Aald-ons
In addition to built-in storage, manufacturers
are increasing their use of drive bays and PCMCIA slots, allowing for the inclusion of numerous "extras," such as moderns, network cards,
and exotic storage devices.

Component integration
The key variable in determining the quality of
notebooks is component integration. The
fastest processor in the world will be next to
useless if the system's hard drive is of poor
design. The widest active matrix screen wiB fail
to impress if the system lacks a quality video
subsystem. Our Editors' Choice systems are
those with the best holistic designs.
The tests
they would consider their current "topwf-theline" notebook. To some, this meant a 133 MHz
machine, while others quickly jumped at the
chance to send their latest 200 MHz MMX systems loaded with 64 MB of RAM and enormous
hard drives. Our benchmark suite was run on
each machine at a resolution of 800x600, with
a 16-bit color depth, or 65,536 colors. To minimize the possibility of system crashes and
inconsistencies, each notebook's power savings
features were disabled, and all of the systems
were tested using their AC adapters.

Systems from Dell are well known to us
here at TCPLabs for their high-quality designs
and overall system performance. This month
was no exception, with the LM M166ST coming in second place of all the 166 MHz systems.
If you' re looking for both quality and performance at a competitive price, Dell shouM definitely be on your list.
Eurocom 6200T
Eurocom has recently made the headlines by
being one of the very first manufacturers'to put
out a notebook with Intel's 200 MHz processor.
If you' re looking for a notebook to replace your
desktop computer, Furocom had you in mind
Deewoo CPC-7$$0
Another new contender to our Test
Labs is this slim
C PC-7550 f r o m
Daewoo. It features
a Pentium 133 MHz
processor, 16 MB of
RAM, a 1.44 GB
hard drive, a video
accelerator with 2 MB of video RAM capable of
resolutions up to 800x600, a removable 6x
CD-ROM drive, floppy drive, and 16-bit sound
system. The unit weighs just over 2.25 kg (5
ib.), making it the lightest one of the bunch.
This was another machine that didn' t
have an external cache, and as a result, its
performance suffered. If your main concern is
portability, this is definitely a machine you
should consider,

are no strangers to
us here at TCPLabs,
although
we ' re
more familiar with
the company's line
of desktop computers. The unit we received this month featured a
150 MHz Pentium processor with 32 MB of
RAM and an external cache of 256KB. The display on the notebook is a 12.1-inch TFT, with a
maximum resolution of 800x600. The 2.1 GB
hard drive will provide ample storage space for
ali your multimedia applications, while the 10x
CD-ROM can help reduce the loading time.
For an additional $60, you can buy an
externai floppy drive that plugs into your parallel port, saving you from having to swap back
and forth with the CD-ROM drive. The use of a
150 MHz processor in this system can be an
ideal solution for someone looking for a system
with plenty of processing power, but without
the costs of processors in the 166 or 200 MHz
range. The estimated street price for this model
is $4,500, with a one-year parts and labor warranty, extendible to three years.
Deli Latitude LM M166$T
Dell's latest in its notebook line is the Latitude
LM M166ST. It's powered by a Pentium 166
MMX processor, 256KB of secondary cache and
24 MB of RAM. The display is a 12.1-inch active
matrix TIT, with a maximum resolution of

P.C0
this month's survey. Although some may wonder how a 166 MHz MMX machine can outperform a similarly configured 200 MHz model, the
answer lies in tight integration, and the use of
the highest-quality components. In the game of

it's the type of RAM, the make of the hard drive,
the type of video accelerator and especially the
construction and layout of the motherboard

built-in microphone. Performance was good,
with a score of 123, but had the machine been
equipped with 32 MB of RAM or more, that

Performance
As always, our performance award goes to the fastest system. This month,
to our surprise, the fastest system was not a 200 MHz MMX system, but
NEC's Vera 6200MX with a 166 MHz MMX processor. This machine managed to outperform all of its competitors with an overall score of 146 on
our benchmarks, thanks to its excellent design and engineering.

Word of mouth lt is a cliche but an accurate one: word of mouth is the best form of
advertising. The more people promote your
business because they know you or are satisfied customers, the more sales you are going
to make. Personal testimonials are very persuasive and credible. Attempt to cultivate positiv'e and respectful customer relations at all
times. Remember, the customer is always
right, even when the customer is wrong. One
dissatisfied customer can taint your goodwill
to many other people. You should therefore
deal with any customer complaints in a
prompt and efficient manner.
Brochures Brochures and posters can be very
effective and relatively inexpensive. Some of the
advertising uses of a brochure are: leaving it with
a prospective customer; distributing it at a seminar, presentation, trade show, or other distribution location; sending it as part of a direct mail
campaign; and mailing it. after a written or
phone request for further information. Always
obtain competitive quotes on brochure production and printing, as prices can vary consider- .
ably. If you want color printing done, ask the
printer to do it at the same time as they are
doing the same color run for others. This should
save you money, if you can wait for a few days.
- :
business location, business cards and stationery, the clothes you wear, the personnel
you hire, how your phone is answered, and
how quickly you respond to queries. Other
influencing factors include: the nature and
form of your advertising, promotion, staff
image, sales presentations and contracts,
quality of sales and service, site management
and customer relations, and problem solving.
Here are some low-cost effective options
to consider:

PowerBook 3400c
Apple's full-featured laptop packs a 24Q MHz punch
or years, the promise of desktop performance in a notebook computer has
never quite lived up to the hype. The
compromises have generally been related to
issues such as power consumption, heat dissipation in the CPU, and bus design constraints
in trying to accommodate full-featured circuitry into a portable package. The good news
is that the wait is finally over.
Performance
Industrial deslein
The case design of the 3400c is distinctly different from the 14Mc model. Apple decided to
throw in more smooth curves and give it a more
"muscular" look than the squarish 1400 design.
There are two raised speaker grilles on the
cover that house pseudo sub-woofers in addition to two smaller speakers at the top of the
keyboard. This four-speaker system offers the
best sound I' ve heard on a portable model, but
audiophiles will still prefer to use the 16-bit/44
KHz audi+nut jack to their stereo.
An integrated microphone enables sound
recording or the utilization of Apple's speech
recognition software. Below the middle of the
screen are two convenient slider controls for
volume and brightness. The 3400c shares the
same great full-spaced keyboard and precise
trackpad as the 1400c. A single lithium ion battery provides two to four hours of use on a single charge and recharges in a couple of hours.
One drawback to the 3400c is that it's not
requires some disassembly with torx screwdrivers. It's dimensions are 6.6x29.3 x24 cm
(2.57x11.42x9.36 in.) amd this entire package
weighs in at 3.3 kg (7.26 lb.) That's heavy as far
7.6
is bundled
with this unit.
Summary
Expansion
There's lots of expansion ports on this baby. A
clever i n n ovation i s a comb i n ation
Ethernet/33.6Kbps faxmodem port that can be
accessed simultaneously. Add to that two PC
card slots for support of Type I, II and III cards
(with the bottom slot supporting "zoom
video," a method for displaying full screen
videoon externaldisplays).
There is also an external VGA monitor port
to hook into a second display. It only supports
video-minoring and not the tiled video capability that Mac users have become accustomed to.

Xerox color laser hree4s $$,000 price herrler ~ Xerox Canada has announced what it claims
is the least expensive, fuU featured color laser
printer yet, "designed to bridge the gap between
low-speed ink jet machines and high-end productian color systems." The Xerox DocuPrint CSS
Color Laser Printer is a 12 page per minute (three
pages per minute for color), 600 dpi printer with a
street price around $4,900. With a footprint of
only 47x42 cm (18.5x16.S in.), the CSS is also the
most compact color laser on the market. The base
model comes with 30 MB af memory (6 MB of
Flash ROM, and 24 MB af RAM), and support for
PCL A higher end model, the CSSMP, comes with
Adobe PastScript Level 2 built in, and an Ethernet
networking card for a street price of about $6,100.
Xerox claims a host of innovative new features
with the CSS, aU aimed at lowering cost of ownership and increasing efficiency and ease of use. The
ImageFix feature automaticaffy corrects low-quality digital photos, the Fax-Friendly Black feature
converts colored documents into black-and-white
patterns that are readable after being sent through
a monochrome faxing machine, and the Hold Job
Function gives users a grace period to load special
media or pick up sensitive documents without
being buntped out of the print queue.
The CSS also incorporates (ntefligent Color
3.0, which applies the best imaging techniques to
particular document elen>ents such as photos,
charts and other graphirs. Xerax CentreWare DP
network printer management software and
CentreWare Internet Services software for arcessing the printer via Net connections with a browser interface are also available for use with the CSS.
Ron Pratt, the vice-president of the Xerox
Canada Channels group, claims "The DocuPrint
CSS is the first of a new generation of color laser
printers and the flagship of the Xerox networl
printer line. It is differentiated by its productivity
and value, providing ingenious solutions to
everyday business problems..The color market is
growing rapidly as more workgroups integrate
color into their documents nd the DocuPrint
CS5 will reinforce Xerox's position as a color
leader fran> the desktop ta the production environment."
Pratt says that in addition to a lower sticker
price, the C55 has greatly reduced cost of ownership, 'due to simple network integration, lower
cost supplies, and higher reliability.

Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show in Las
Vegas, Adobe Systems unveiled the latest version of

of Pentium MMX processors.
It is expected to ship by June, and two versions will be available: the Standard Version with
afl the basic tools and features will have a list
price of $995; while the Production Bundle, with
high-end features such as Motion, Keying and
Distortion, will sell fo r $ 1,995. The new

announce an upgrade program for registered
users when the products ship. (Ilobal Village

Digital audio tape (DAT) is an older technology that has been adopted by the computer industry as a means of data storage and
backup. And the newest thing in this category is something called DDS-3 (Digital Data
Storage-3), which allows up to 12 GB of
native data (24 GB compressed) to be stored
on a single tape.
Coupled with average data transfer rates
of up to 2.2 MB per second, you' re looking at
very impressive performance from a tapebased system, Compared to other backup
systems in this article, DAT machines remain
at the wallet-straining end of things for the
time being, so they' re unlikely to show up
near the computers of the masses in the near
future.
Removablecartridge
There isn't much to say about removable cartridge systems because they constitute little
more than the creation of an infinitely sized
hard drive. They work like hard drives,
they' re just about as fast as hard drives and
their c'apacity exactly matches however
many of the removable cartridges you can
afford.
The drives themselves come in internal
and external versions and the cartridges are
small and relatively cheap to buy. They are
recognized by backup utilities and their speed
means you can run anything from them.
Prior to the introduction of PD and the fixing
up of CD-R, these were definitely the way to
go for just about all storage and backup needs

desktop or portable. Another
point that Wheelwright makes is that the
resulting CD-ROMs are a preferable medium
because they can be slipped into high performance CD-ROM drives for even faster access
to the data stored... yet another advantage to
consider.
Remov
abledisk
exflyer 230 MS and
sujet1.S CB
so here's a recap.
The 230 is available in either a SCSI II or
parallel port version, the latter being the configuration I received. Where the parallel port
was intended really only for printers or scanners or other peripherals sans celerity, the
SCSI interface was built for speed, Specs on
the two versions reflect this: a sustained data .
transfer rate of 1.2SMB per second on the parallel version, but a possible 2.4MB per second
from the SCSI.
Throughput is limited to 25 M B p er
minute on my parallel version but can reach
60 MB per minute if you go with SCSI. In

And, following in what has all the earmarks of a trend, the syJet can be adapted to

necessarily be reduced by about 50 percent.

almost identical to the ezflyer and even

you know you' re dealing with something else
when you compare their relative cartridges,
which are quite different in appearance and,
of course, capacity.

backups, while Zip, the product Iomega submitted for the first roundup, is its modest 100
MB removable disk system and remains
included here as a current and still very popular product,
The specifications for the SCSI version
of the Zip I received give an optimal sustained data transfer rate of 1.4MB per second and a throughput of 60MB per minute.
As usual, expect about a 50 percent drop for

The Zip 100 is a pleasant little machine
to install and use. Again we have all the
software and documentation bundled onto
the "free" cartridge that comes with the
drive and Iomega recommends that you
keep that cartridge uncorrupted for future
installations. The software bundle is called
ZipTools and provides you with everything
you'll need to backup, move, catalogue,
secure, share and transport all your stuff
100 MB at a time through an icon-based
interface. A very nice utiiity called Guest
allows you to temporarily install drivers and
software from a 3.5-inch floppy onto any
computer that you just quickly want to
inject with data from one of your Zip 100
disk cartridges.
The Zip 100 is economical, light and simple to use while the cartridges, though of limited capacity, are affordable enough to let you
separately move or store multiple directories

built to be inexpensive and run on less powerful computers than professionals use.

Last try: "the quick Brown box jumped
over the lazy." STop DicTATIoN
That was 10 seconds, and as you can see
the program thought the last word odogo
was "dot e and, thus, that is where the sentence ends.
Here is another test of voice recognition. Without worrying about speed I will
dictate a line from the theme song of one
of my favorite old television shows, and
Office 97, you must either use the specialized, and quite good, WordPad that comes
with the program or the Quick Dictation
window that will take your work and when
you are finished dump it i nt o the open
word processor.
As you would expect, VoiceType allows
for templates and macros. Using templates
is especially useful where a business or
institution routinely re cords the s ame
information. Also, in this scenario the pro-
continuous speech programs at the consumer level in the next year. This is possible a year in this industry is a long time.

An excellent
space CD-ROM
history of humans
and dogs in space
BY RO$$

nveterate readers of my
CD-ROM reviews will
already know my history
of skepticism r egarding
what most publishers try to
pawn off a s m u ltimedia
products and the concomitant proportional raves I
have for those who actually
do it r i ght. Among my
favorite publishers have
been Dorling K indersley
and, of late, FlagTower, from
w hom I h a v e s o f a r l o o ked a t T h e
Unexplained and The History of Medicine.
Well, here's a third, The Space Race, which
is executed with the same high production
values and flair the company brought to its
two earlier titles. As you might guess from the
name, The Space Race covers the history of
competition between, initially, Russia and the
United States to gain political and strategic
advantages over one another in the realm of
the great beyond. In more recent times, the
French, Indians, Chinese and several others
have stepped into the picture so the whole
issue has become rather complex, not to mention moot.
Which is where FlagTower's The Space
Race makes for such a handy reference. In
simplified, but not oversimplified, terms, the
political, economic and scientific implications of both early and modern space exploration are presented and explained from within the context of the Cold War, the state of
scientific research at given points in time, and
even the personalities involved.
Handily enough, this history can be
examined in linear fashion from beginning to

by the W3C in January. As member organizations of W3C, both Microsoft and Netscape
are expected to implement the group's standards within their Web browsers (Internet
Explorer and Netscape Navigator respectively). One of the most important changes to
HTML is covered here: the CSS specification.
CSS provides the Web page designer with
more direct control over such things as colors,
white space, multi-cdlumn layouts, fonts, and
much more. It is not one of the easiest aspects
of HTML to understand, but if you are interested in its nitty-gritty aspects
down to the
browsers' level of how it is supposed to interpret a tag, then look no further.
Along with the HTML 3.2 specification,
this issue of the Journal features articles on the
latest multimedia standards plus an overview
on GIF animation, Java, a look at h ow

</SCRIPT>
This code makes the initial layer visible on
the Web page, and hides the rest until called
for.
Now we need something to trigger the visibility of each page. This can be accomplished
with a Java applet, plugin or a form. In this
case we will use a simple selection form so
that users can choose which layer will be visible. The following code (which also makes
up its own layer) does the trick:
<LAYER NAME="formlayer" LEFT=500
<P>
Make a selection:

Time bandits
In the case of network computing, freedom to
compute ultimately belongs to whoever owns
or controls the network, and more precisely,
the network server. In recent years, big business has begun to pay excruciatingly close
attention to what employees do with their
networked PCs. Software that allows management to track, observe and restrict employees'
Internet use is selling briskly. A whole indust ry fo r c o mputer-based monitoring o f
employee behavior has sprung up. The concept of "time theft" has become the buzzword
for the employers' mania for squeezing every
last second of work, every last keystroke, out
of fewer and fewer employees. After all, managers reason, if I pay you for every second
you' re in the office, then every second you
aren't actively producing for me, you are actually stealing my money (in the form of your
unearned wages) from me. And, with network
surveillance technology, the boss can cheaply
construct employee activity profiles that target the goof-offs for the next round of downsizing. One of the intangibles that may be
ignored in the drive to sharpen profits is that
the most productive workers are those who
are creative, highly motivated, engaged in
lifelong skill upgrading, and who eagerly
learn and communicate well with customers
and co-workers.
I worry that the elites who run governments and large corporations will find netw orked computer technology a tool f o r
increasing their power and wealth at the
expense of the less powerful. Also, I think that
in countries without strong legal and social
support for free speech, collective computing
technology is much more susceptible to centralized censorship and control than personal
computing. Even in the liberal democracies,
there are unceasing attempts to diminish free
