CHANGES WITH ME AND COMPUNOTES|
-------------------------------
    You may have noticed a few changes with CompuNotes. This week marks
the first attempt to handle the publication through Pegasus Mail, SMTP
and a dial-up PPP connection. We'll see how it goes!
    Also, notice there are new subscribe/unsubscribe commands. Please us
these in the future!
    A few changes have occurred in my life as well that I want to pass on
to all the readers. I guess the biggest is that I have secured a long
term contract with a consulting company. This means that my time during
the normal business hours to handle CompuNotes business is being
curtailed. It's the money you know :-) If you're used to me immediately
responding ot your messages relax a bit. It may be a few days before I
get back to you. Of course, if the new company I am working for ever
gets me a computer or even a desk to sit at it may be quicker . . .
    The BBS is down for good. Long story, but suffice to say that
sysoping will always take a bunch of time.
    My 9th anniversary is Tuesday. I can't believe it! It seemed like
just yesterday when we celebrating number one. Of course, know we have a
daughter, Cassandra - 5, and much more responsibility. I tell you this
so if a CompuNotes is missing next week you'll know why.
    Have a great week!

Buy My Booklet, Please! |
-------------------------
    How is that for selfless self promotion? I have just finished a new
booklet called "10 Huge Mistakes Every SOHO Business Owner Should
Avoid". How's that for a title? They have been sent to the printer and
will be available in a day or two.
    This booklet details the ten huge mistakes that every SOHO business
owner could make and how to avoid them! Instead of simply telling you to
avoid the mistake, the booklet details how to recover from each mistake
if you happen to make it!
    Our normal price for the booklet is $10.00, but since you are a
CompuNotes reader we'll sell it to you to for $8.00 plus $2.00 shipping
and handling. Just kidding. $8.00 gets your own copy of "10 Huge
Mistakes Every SOHO Business Owner Should Avoid" and a free trial
subscription to SOHO News, a new newsletter for the SOHO business owner.

QUARTERDECK AND HAYES HOOK UP!|
-------------------------------
    MARINA DEL REY, Calif., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Quarterdeck Corp.
(Nasdaq: QDEK) today announced the first phase of a strategic
relationship with Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. with the signing of
an agreement to bundle Quarter-deck's InternetSuite 2 and WebTalk with
Hayes bps ACCURA consumer line of modems.  Terms of the agreement
between Quarterdeck and Hayes were not disclosed.
    The modem/software bundle will provide users with a complete, one-
stop solution for getting online, browsing, and talking on the Internet,
since InternetSuite's Connect and Play feature will allow them to create
an account with a major Internet service provider in minutes.  Hayes
will sell the modem/software bundles through its own channels and
Quarterdeck will provide 90 days of free technical support to the user.
The bundle will be followed by joint sales and marketing efforts by the
two companies.
    WebTalk is a full duplex, real-time voice chat utility, allowing two
Internet users to talk with each other over the Internet and
incorporates a proprietary technology called Codec.  This technology
enables the user to adjust audio compression to fine-tune sound quality
depending on modem connection speed and line noise.
    InternetSuite 2 is a complete suite of utilities for navigating the
Internet through a simple point-and-click interface.  It comes with
Quarterdeck Mosaic for browsing the Web, Quarterdeck Message Center, a
news and mail reader, QFTP for file transfers, QTERM for remote login,
and Global Chat, an Internet Relay Chat client for multi-user text chat.
    "This deal is very important because it will help us to make WebTalk
the standard for voice chat over the Internet," said Gaston Bastiaens,
President and CEO of Quarterdeck.  "Hayes is a recognized product and
market leader in the communications market, and bundling WebTalk and
InternetSuite with their modems, opens a huge market for our products.
This will offer customers a powerful, single-source for getting onto the
Internet."
    "Hayes invented the PC modem and it's a natural combination to
bundle the product that created the on-ramp to the Internet with the
high-quality, innovative Internet software applications from
Quarterdeck," said Dennis C. Hayes, CEO of Hayes.  "We consider our
agreement with Quarterdeck a very important aspect of our ongoing
company strategy to provide home and SOHO users with the applications
they need and want -- from Internet access to voice mail messaging."
    The Hayes/Quarterdeck modem and Internet application software bundle
will be available in March 1996 for an estimated street price of $199
for the desktop modem bundle and $179 for the internal modem bundle.

-------------------------
    REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:

convenient, one-stop access to the most up-to-date drivers and
components available for Microsoft's popular Windows 95 operating
system.  The Service Pack will be automatically sent to corporate
customers who have purchased volume licensing through Microsoft's Select

    -- New components.  Also included are Service for NetWare(R)
Directory Services, 32-bit data link control (DLC) protocol support, and
infrared device support.
    -- Tools.  The Windows NT(TM) Server network operating system
management tools, enhanced network installation tools, and updated
versions of the Windows 95 Hardware and Software Compatibility Lists are
included.
    -- Device drivers.  The entire Windows Driver Library will be
included on the CD-ROM version of the Service Pack, allowing users to
install the latest drivers easily for their hardware devices.
    The Service Pack is designed to install easily on an existing
Windows 95-based system or to be integrated into a shared network setup
directory.  Customers will be able to determine easily whether the
Service Pack has been installed on a system and to ensure that all the
latest components are applied.
    Customers who are enrolled in Microsoft Select, TechNet and
Microsoft Developer Network Level II will automatically receive the
Service Pack with their next scheduled edition.  Users can also download
the Service Pack over the Internet at no charge (other than the cost of
connect time, where applicable) from the Microsoft Windows Web page

REVIEWS OF THE WEEK | Interesting software/hardware you may need . . .

Product:        How Animals Move (Windows 3.1)                   |
Reviewed By:    Steve Lozowski (slozowsk@locke.ccil.org)         |
------------------------------------------------------------------
    How Animals Move is an interactive CD-ROM encyclopedia of animal
movement from The Discovery Channel and Maris Multimedia. It allows you
to explore specific areas as you would go to a section of an
encyclopedia, or run a Guided Tour, which is a multimedia presentation
on a specific topic. This CD-ROM would be a useful to someone interested
in animal movements, including how humans move. It is not a general
encyclopedia on animals. Nor would it be suitable for young children
without an adult's help.
    The system requirements are listed as a 386SX or higher (for IBM
compatibles) and a double speed CD-ROM drive. Based on the performance
on my system (see above), I would recommend a quad-speed CD-ROM drive.
At times it seemed that I spent as much time waiting for CD-ROM access
as I did viewing the information presented. I do not have access to a CD
drive faster than double speed, but I would assume that would only help.
This was the only major problem I had with this program. Delays waiting
for information from the CD really took away from some nice features,
such as the Guided Tours. There would be a few second delay between each
video clip where there was no narration, and no pictures or video to
look at.
    This review was done under Windows 3.1, but How Animals Move also
runs on a Macintosh or Power Macintosh. Quicktime for Windows 2.0 is
required, and is included on the CD. I did not install this option, as I
already had it on my computer. For best results viewing the pictures, it
is suggested to set your monitor (video driver) to thousands of colors.
I changed my driver from 256 colors to 65K colors, as the pictures were
distorted at 256 colors. I would recommend also doing this if you are
going to purchase this program. Before you buy it, make sure that many
colors are supported by your video card and monitor, especially if you
have an old system.
    One of the best features is the Guided Tours. You can start one of
these and just sit back and watch the small videos while the narrator
presents information on a particular topic, such as "walking and
running". I found this to be a very effective presentation method.
Learning the difference between walking, trotting, and galloping gaits
was easy when you can see the movements on your screen in slow motion.
You can also step in and take control of the guided tour by skipping to
the next tour section, or stopping and exploring the detailed
encyclopedia section of the program.
    Exploring different topics on your own gives you a hyper-text screen
with either videos, animations, or pictures to illustrate the topics.
The hyper-text links let you get more detailed information, link to a
related topic, or even highlight an area on the picture that the
sentence is describing. Also included are a glossary, index, and the
ability to search for topics. You can also create bookmark lists of your
favorite places.
    Additional features are games, simulations, experiments, an
interactive graphs. These are another effective method to learn while
having fun. But I wish there was some more indication for how to succeed
at the games. I never could get my gazelle to escape that cheetah!
    While running under Windows 3.1, this is not a true Windows program.
You cannot iconize How Animals Move to go and do something else in
Windows. You can alt-tab to another application, but How Animals Move is
always in the background in full screen. A menu bar allows access to the
useful options in the program. But it sits at the top of the screen,
over the main display, effectively cutting off some of your view.
Luckily, hitting the spacebar will hide or reveal the menu toolbar.
    This CD-ROM does contain a wealth of information about how animals
move. If you are truly interested in animal movement you may want to try
this product. But make sure you have the system to make the most out of
your experience.

Product: Timeslips Deluxe 6.0 for Windows                            |
Reviewed By: Richard Malinski (richard@acs.ryerson.ca)               |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Requirements: A 386 processor or higher with at least 4 megabytes of
ram, a 3.5 inch floppy disk drive, at least 18 megabytes of space on a
hard disk for full installation, a mouse, MS-DOS 3.3 or higher and SHARE
or VSHARE.386.
    If you want to track the time you spend on a project so that you can
bill a client and keep control of receivables, this package is for you.
This database package also enables you to analyze these three operations
so that you can understand the financial al and performance aspects of
your business.  The introduction notes that this Deluxe version can
accommodate up to 250 users handling 30,000 clients with up to 250
distinct activities and expenses.  This is a powerful software package
for all sizes of businesses.   My single user edition permits up to 8
timekeepers!
    In order to learn how Timeslips works I installed it, ran through
the tutorial and then set up a current project.  As a new user I was
interested in how much difficulty I'd have getting started and producing
something useful from it.
    The directions for installing the software are clear and simple; put
in disk 1, from the Program Manager in Windows run a:install and respond
to the prompts!  Loading the original version and a maintenance release
is problem free.  The manual is very g good but if you're like me I like
to jump in and learn online.  The first 16 pages of the manual are
useful for getting started but once you've got the software running the
online tutorial and help can take over.  The manual does comes into
prominence, however, when you get to the intricate setups like Canadian
taxes or want to look at sample reports.
    The supplementary text called 'Getting the most from Timeslips
Deluxe' is definitely a valuable read.  It provides many insights and
practical hints that you don't find in the manual.  Don't forget to look
through it.
    In this version there are six main interconnected programs.  The
TSReport creates reports and bills.  The TSTimer records time and
expenses.  The TSLayout formats the reports and bills.  The TSImport
retrieves time, expense and client data from other s systems such as
DacEasy, Peachtree or M.Y.O.B.  The Navigator Editor provides for
customizing the Timeslips Navigator.  The Script Editor is for writing
scripts or mini programs to automate frequently repeated commands or
functions.  These are all detailed in the manual and the online
tutorial.
    Of the many fine features in this package, two are really excellent.
The first is the tutorial, called Explore.  If you get this package,
spend the 20 to 30 minutes and go through the tutorial because it is
really a treat to go through such a well des designed tutor.  The tutorial
is easy to enter and exit so you can always go back into it and walk
through a topic.  The combination of this with the context sensitive
online help make this very complex package straight forward and useable.
    The second feature is called the Navigator and it is truly an
excellent interface for the new user.  It is a graphical interface to
the various operations of the package.  It streamlines setting up new
users, clients and activities, speeds entry of dat a or selecting and
changing preferences and eases reporting and billing.  This package
would not have be as interesting or as readily useful if this Navigator
were not present. The Navigator of this Timeslips Deluxe version will
probably be a gauge a gainst which to measure other interfaces.  I will
certainly use it when I look at other pieces of software!
    There are numerous other features that should be mentioned.  There
are default setups such as those for lawyers, accountants and
architects. These populate the database with field names that fit these
particular businesses.  Nevertheless, customizing th e names is quick
and once down is reflected in all the layouts.  There are also 30 or 40
templates which speed up data processing and report production.  The
billing assistant is another strong feature in that it aids bill
production and editing.  The re is also the ability to set password
protection for private data.  The script language is extensive but for
the novice looks daunting if not intimidating!  It is curious that there
is no capture facility so that you can easily carry out a task and re
cord keystrokes and mouse clicks in a reusable macro.  Various tax
calculations are also included, e.g., the Goods and Service Tax
calculations for Canadians and Value Added Tax rates(in the UK version
only).
    It does not take long to install and to work with this package but
to really understand it will, no doubt, take working through a couple of
projects from start to finish.  It is a credit to Timeslips that they've
developed a program that is easy to start but contains tremendous depth,
flexibility and potential.  It is no great surprise that there is such a
large following of the Timeslips product.
    These few comments just scratch the surface of Timeslips Deluxe.
For more information check the Compuserve or America Online forums.  You
might want to try the Timeslips BBS (508-768- 7581) if your not too far
away.  Better still, have a look at t he Timeslips web site
(http://www.timeslips.com). At the site there is the usual publicity
material outlining all the good features.  More importantly, there is a
demonstration version of Timeslips Deluxe that you can download.
Download it and take it for a drive, you won't be disappointed!

Book:       The Digital Economy - Promise and Peril in the Age of  |
            Networked Intelligence                                 |
Author:     Don Tapscott                                           |
Review by:  Jeffrey Bloss <jbloss@meadville.com>                   |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
    Don't be totally misled by the title.  Even though it's geared
toward business owners, management, and those simply interested in the
effects an ever changing technology revolution has on the way business
is done, "The Digital Economy" is an honest and practical look at a
phenomenon that's been compared to the industrial revolution itself.  An
analogy I believe more now than I did before I read this book.
    Consider an estimated 600% increase in the Pacific Rim's
contribution to the global economic output attributed to "virtual
aliens", those internet connected foreigners doing various jobs for U.S.
and other companies without so much as a virtual green card. If food is
more your fancy, maybe you'll want to order some high-tech bread from a
"Boutique Bakery" that accepts interactive orders complete with your own
customized ingredients, and delivers your loaf to a limited area within
hours. Understand that "limited" can mean within a 20 mile radius from a
point on the other side of the planet.
    These are just two examples of how business is changing, and causing
change.  A general impression I get from "The Digital Economy" is that
each new process or idea often generates the necessity for change as
those people who reap the benefits of such dynamics thirst for more.  A
more or less vicious new cycle of supply and demand that exists
independent of a particular product... or a product that IS the process
of making and delivering goods and services.  The "digital" part of the
new economy in a nutshell friends.  We're moving away from the age old
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality to a necessary "If you don't
keep fixing it, it's going to be broken very soon" method of preventive
maintenance.
    If the present reality of the beast boggles the mind, what about the
future?  How would you like to shop a virtual mall, spy a nice sweater,
and have the ability to try the thing on a 3D, full motion model of
yourself?  Worried about your academic future?  Maybe Sun Microsystem's
"Virtual university" will provide the blueprint for the next generation
of Ivy League institutions.  It seems to work for Sun anyway.  On an
average their employees spend more time networking than anyone, and
they're among the most productive on the face of the planet.
    It's Mr. Tapscott's observation that this process of change is being
fueled not just by ever expanding information superhighway, but by the
ease of use that an interactive, multimedia environment provides.  If
the internet itself is analogous to the paved roads that fueled an
industrial revolution, the World Wide Web, or whatever it may become is
the internal combustion engine that makes a trip from Podunk to Peking a
possibility for the average traveler.
    For the businessperson this change presents two problems.  The first
is how to use information technology to their benefit without falling
into any number of gaping holes.  Beyond the obvious mechanics of
installing a reliable network that's usable enough to blend the thoughts
and ideas of many into a collective intelligence, business must address
topics like security, continuing education, "virtualization" of existing
data and methods, and the often times incredibly short shelf life of new
products that until modern times would have become standards.
    The other side of the proverbial coin is the consumer. The very same
thing that can be used to energize a business, is the businessman's
worst enemy.  An average virtual "Joe" isn't encumbered by corporate red
tape.  The ease of use, accuracy, and speed of the highway itself allows
consumers to have megabytes of information at their disposal faster than
you can say "in the blink of an eye".  Consequently, the old style "buy
me now, I'm magic" infomercial is receiving a thorough thrashing at the
hands of a more educated public.  Not only does business have to rethink
it's internal mechanism, but also the way it dresses a product for the
wedding between produce and consumer.
    "The Digital Economy" is both a broad overview of the vitality of a
new economy, and a fairly deep dissertation on what can be done to leech
some of that vitality for yourself and/or your company.  It covers both
the good and bad of the monster, and does it in a language that's
completely readable.  Information is laid out in a very structured,
point-by-point way that makes this book usable as a reference tool as
well as a good read.  In short, it's a 342 page gem of knowledge no
bookshelf should be without.  Buy this book... read and learn.

                      THE BREAKING EDGE OF CHANGE

    Innovations come at us like great, crashing rollers. The pace of
change is hectic. Innovation is rampant and chaotic. How do we stay on
top? How do we ride these waves and keep abreast of all that is new?
    Leading organizations forward during these times requires a
risk-taking, forward-leaning style which is the antithesis of
bureaucratic, status-quo maintenance and management.
    "Leading Edge" fails to capture the challenging, questioning spirit
required.
    "Bleeding Edge" is entirely too negative and too limited a metaphor.
    "Breaking Edge" cuts in many directions. The leader is riding a
wave. The leader is breaking through. The leader is challenging and
questioning. The leader is out in front and on top.
    How do teachers and library media specialists and technology
coordinators and tech coaches and directors manage this feat? This
article offers more than a dozen strategies to see the waves coming and
catch rides on the very best of them.
