Dial-Up
Access

Refers to connecting a device to the Internet via a modem and a public telephone network.

Dial-up access is really just like a regular voice phone connection, except that the parties at the two ends are computer devices rather than people.

Because dial-up access uses normal telephone lines, the quality of the connection is not always good and data rates are limited.

The maximum data rate with dial-up access is 56 Kbps (56,000 bits per second).

Since it takes 8 bits to create one character (letter) and 2 more bits for communication "overhead", those 56,000 bits equal about 5,600 characters per second (56,000 divided by 10).

A. Glad you like it. Remember, to "steal" it, just RIGHT CLICK on the photo (after you enlarge it by normally clicking on it) and from the menu pick SAVE IMAGE AS. Accept the file name and take note of the folder to which you are saving it. Now you own it and can attach it to an email for sharing with your friends. Enjoy!

P.S. - Are you remembering to save the music each day? Just RIGHT CLICK and choose SAVE LINK AS.

Windows 95 was aimed at the home consumer. It was a replacement for the original Windows 3.1. Windows 95 was available in three versions.
    The original version
    Windows 95 OSR2 (an updated version)
    Windows 95 OSR2 (with USB support)

Windows 98 was a follow up from Windows 95 with various improvements and enhancements. It comes in two versions:
    The original Windows 98
    Windows 98 SE (Second Edition)

Windows ME (millenium Edition) is the latest version of Windows and will be replaced by a brand new version of windows late in 2001

Windows CE (Compact Edition) is the version of Windows that you may find on a palmtop or handheld computer.

Windows NT or ‘New Technology’ is really aimed at the corporate market. (It comes in two versions, Workstation and Server.) For the home consumer It can be complicated to use although there are similarities between Windows NT Workstation and Windows 95/98/ME.

Windows NT Server is the software that large organizations use to run their computer networks.

Windows 2000 comes in various versions and is again aimed at the corporate market but it’s look and feel is the same as Windows ME but with NT technology and features built in. This version is plug and play unlike previous NT software.

Windows XP (previously codenamed Whistler) will replace all versions of Windows and is due to be release on 25th October 2001. It will come in a personal version to use at home and more advanced versions that can be used within the workplace.
