FireWire

A new, very fast I/O (input/output) standard that supports very fast data transfer rates for externally attached devices.

Products supporting the FireWire (IEEE 1394) standard go under different names, depending on the company. Apple, which originally developed the technology, uses the trademarked name FireWire. Other companies use other names to describe their 1394 products.

A single FireWire port can be used to connect up 63 external devices.

The main difference between 1394 and USB is that 1394 supports faster data transfer rates and is more expensive. For this reason, it is expected to be used mostly for devices that require large throughputs, such as video cameras, whereas USB will be used to connect most other peripheral devices.

ExciteNews (May 15, 2001) - When computer users install the next generation of Microsoft's Windows operating system this fall, they will get an Internet chat program automatically. Plus a new security program, a DVD player and software to make personal CDs.

Rivals and some state attorneys general are complaining that with its Windows XP system, Microsoft is engaging in the same sort of product bundling that gave rise to the current federal antitrust case involving the company's Internet Explorer browser.

AOL Time Warner, the world's largest Internet provider and the maker of two competing Internet messaging programs, was so upset that it provided a private briefing in March to the attorneys general of the states that sued Microsoft in the case now before a federal appeals court. AOL officials outlined what they believe are new anticompetitive practices that are bad for consumers.

AOL's position is that at first blush it looks like ease and convenience and simplicity for the user, but in the long run it sets off alarm systems of stifling competition and higher prices.

AOL suggests that, in a nutshell, it's the same game that Microsoft played with its Internet Explorer. If it's sitting there and it's built in and you have to put a lot of work in to use another product, you don't do it.

Have you ever downloaded a program, only to find you weren't paying attention to where it was being stored? Have you lost a copy of a crucial document or resume?

Chances are that they are still on your hard drive. Without spending precious time to investigate each folder on your system, you can quickly uncover those lost files in no time at all.

To find files fast, follow these steps:

1. Hold down the Windows keyboard button and the "F" button at the same time, or click on the Start menu and locate "Find" (in Windows ME it's "Search") then "Files or Folders."

2. In the "Name" field, type the name of the file you'd like to find (or any part of the name).

5. This will bring up a list of all the files on your computer containing the text that you had typed.
