Word
PDA PDA,
short for personal digital assistant, is a handheld computing device. While
most PDA's are used as a Personal Organizer for addresses and telephone numbers,
some PDA's can function as a cellular phone, fax sender and web browser. Unlike portable
computers (laptops), most PDA devices use a stylus (pen device) rather than a keyboard for input. PDAs are also called
"palmtops" because they
literally fit in your palm. Compared to full-size computers, palmtops are severely limited, but they are
very practical for functions such as phone books and calendars.

COMPUTER
NEWS BRIEFS...
Gates
Tops Forbes Rich List
"While
Microsoft founder Bill Gates still is the richest guy on the planet, the
fortunes of several high-tech titans have fallen below the billion-dollar
mark."
Chat
Room Rants Protected
"A Los
Angeles judge dismissed a lawsuit last Friday that sought to collect damages
from "John Does" who criticized the company anonymously on Internet message
boards. Privacy advocates say the decision sets an important precedent
in the fight to protect anonymous speech online."
Microsoft
Steps Up Anti-AOL Campaign
"As
with previous Microsoft "switcher" campaigns, the new effort comes just
weeks after an unpopular rate hike by America Online. In January,
AOL raised rates for current users of its "Bring Your Own Access" plan
-- after promising not to do so four months earlier. The plan, rates for
which grew from $9.95 to $14.95, affected users of its AOL service who
connected via a local ISP."
They
Want Their ID Chips Now
"The
Jacobs family could become the first family in the world to be implanted
with microchips that contain their personal information."
Label
To Warn Of Copy Blocking On Music CDs
"Music
City Records of Nashville agreed to include a warning on its packaging
that owners cannot copy "Charley Pride -- A Tribute to Jim Reeves" into
computer MP3 files. Also, the label agreed to ensure it will not require
or store personal identifying information like e-mail and IP addresses
when album owners access a downloadable version from the Internet."
WEEKLY
IN DEPTH...
Printing a Web Page
Sometimes, when printing
out a web page, the right side of the page gets cut off by a few characters or a
few words.
If this
happens to you, the first thing to try is to look for a "PRINTER
FRIENDLY" link or a "PRINT THIS PAGE" link. Your page
should then print properly.
If
such a link does not exist, you can solve the problem by printing out the page
in "LANDSCAPE" mode.
After
choosing to print the page, go into "printer setup" and change the
page orientation from "portrait" to "landscape".
This
will insure that you won't lose words or characters when the page prints.
