The links that will revolutionise PCs

Article Abstract:

It is likely that digital audio technology will make it possible to transmit CD-quality radio into the home in the background while the computer user is surfing the Web or e-mailing, according to 3Com Pres and CEO Eric Benhamou. He believes that more rapid Internet access will make computer users reconsider how they use their computers and the way in which computers communicate with each other. He feels that home networking will offer a valuable opportunity for multi-PC households to share files, peripherals and an Internet connection.

The clock is ticking, minister

Article Abstract:

Local and national government in the UK could be extensively affected by the year 2000 computer date change problem. There are strict limitations on spending in the public sector, and this means that the resources required to address the problem may not be available. It is also possible that local and national government may not have sufficient time to address the problem, as priorities are dictated by political developments. There may also be a lack of staff to cope with making the necessary changes to computer systems.
