Prodigy Goes Multi-Lingual
Prodigy, Inc., is going global, and plans to offer multi-lingual
programming on its Prodigy Internet service, which it launched in
the U.S. last year. Alex Gray, vice-president of business
development, says they're "...going after the 80 percent (of
the world) that isn't well-wired". Content will be offered
in the native language of the various countries prodigy is
entering.
Year 2000 Problem
So, you think that just because you have recently purchased your
computer that you're immune from that dreaded Year 2K problem?
Well, consider other places where you'll find microprocessors
that perform date/time functions: microwave ovens, fax machines,
electronic thermostats, VCRs, elevators(maintenance checks), even
the electronic control for your lawn sprinkler system!
Card Slot Camera
While building your Web page, don't you wish that you could just
snap the photo you need, instantly upload it to your computer,
and place it on your page? Or transmit a color copy of a print to
a photo editor? Or a concept sketch? Well, Nikon's new Coolpix
100 can do just that. It's a digital camera (512 x 480 pixel
resolution) that can be inserted into the PCMCIA slot of most
laptops (and any PC that has a card slot) to download the photos
from the camera directly to the computer. The camera's flash
memory can hold up to 42 images in normal mode. If you want more
image storage/features, there're two other models as well. Visit
it at http://www.nikonusa.com/products/electimage/bg/digicam_printer/coolpix.html
