The Internet is a tool that
comes with few instructions. Most of us are let loose on it while we're

Aren't ActiveX and Java basically the same

your email? Who is Veronica, and what is she doing on
the Net? Why is everyone talking about "push"? For anyone who wonders about
these things, we've prepared 20 questions and 20 corresponding answers
to help you sort through the basics.

This is a monthly newsletter
published mid-month, September through May. It is a technology newsletter
for educators, primarily in overseas schools, but it has gained a wide
readership in the U.S.A. as well. It also has a growing reader population
among non-educators as it has practical tips and information on various
technology topics, such as digital cameras, scanners, software. etc. It
is a good resource when a need arises; use the archived issues, too.

stuff is great and really admire the organization, as well as Mr. Lucas
himself! AND.. by the way...yes, I have been to Skywalker Ranch!
