A site to behold
Article Abstract:
The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a useful tool for creating WWW pages, despite HTML's limitations. HTML editors ease document generation by running faster and supplying built-in tags. HTML converters convert word processor files to HTML automatically. HTML's relative tags strong and emphasize enhance users' display preferences. Hypertext links are created by surrounding the text to be highlighted with link tags and adding the address of the page to be linked. Web images typically come in GIF or JPEG formats, which work best for crisp line art and photograph compression, respectively. Several links, or 'hot spots,' are created within a single image using a mapping utility that coordinates and links the hot spots to a specific URL. While browsers display few files directly, they launch helper applications automatically to access linked files. QuickTime, AVI and MPEG's software playback version are good programs for creating video clips. Users should be alerted to the size of external files, and file editing and compression are appreciated.

7th annual design awards
Article Abstract:
Award winners in Publish's Seventh Annual Electronic Design Contest are presented. There were over 1,000 entries in categories that included books, annual reports, brochures, catalogs, corporate identity designs, covers, disk-based publications, display ads, magazines, logos, infographics, newsletters, posters, technical documents, and packaging. Although the three judges who selected the finalists and winners awarded no prizes in the categories of presentation, illustration, table of contents, typefaces, newspapers, and two-page spreads, they praised the overall level of imagination and quality. At the same time, they noted that they were not impressed by splashy digital effects that overwhelmed the subject matter, and in this sense adopted a more conservative approach than was the case in previous competitions.

Beefing up the Mac clone market
Article Abstract:
Umax Computer rolled out its two Macintosh clones in Jun 1996, the $4,395 SuperMac S900L and the $3,495 SuperMac S900D, both based on the 150MHz PowerPC 604 processor. S900L comes with 16MB of RAM, a 2GB hard disk drive and an IMS 128-bit graphics accelerator with 4MB VRAM. S900D also comes with 16MB RAM, but without the hard drive and video card. Another Mac clone maker, DayStar Digital, sensing a soft market, reduced the price of its Genesis MP 600 from $13,069 to $11,999 and its Genesis MP 528 to $9,999. DayStar's Genesis MP 600 has 32MB of RAM and a 2GB hard drive, while the MP 528 comes with 16MB of RAM and a 1GB hard drive. The company has also introduced bare-bones models of Genesis MP 600 and MP 528 without the RAM and hard drive, priced at $10,971 and $8,971, respectively.
