Dial 01 for confusion
Article Abstract:
The general public have been aware for some time that national phone codes will change in Apr 1995, but there was little interest in the subject until people realised that this is set to be only the first of a series of changes. There has been an outcry because people feel that they should have been informed earlier of what was really being planned, and many believe that the consultative process has broken down. The fact that the UK is running short of area codes is the result of a failure to make comprehensive changes in the 1980s when other countries were doing so.

Testing times for cable's visionaries
Article Abstract:
The vast majority of ordinary households in the UK will eventually have access to a wide range of services via the broadband infrastructure currently being established by cable companies. These will be characterised by their interactive nature, with the subscriber being able to make use of direct links with the provider of the services. Most cable companies are now running some kind of broadband trial, although they acknowledge that there would be high costs involved in offering a full service.

You really can take it with you
Article Abstract:
Purchasing a notebook PC is more complicated than purchasing a desktop computer, as manufacturers have added many features in order to differentiate their products from those of rivals. When planning a purchase, it is important to set a budget, checking what is included in the overall price of the equipment. Different screens should be tested, as they vary greatly in price and quality. It is essential to choose the right keyboard, and size and weight should also be taken into account.
