Week of 10/19/97:

A Whole New BrowserTune: I’m gearing up for a whole new version---Browsertune98! You’re one of the first people on the planet to know about this, and you have first crack at defining just what you want in BrowserTune98. Join the free discussion here and tell me what you want to see!

Fire Up Your Flame-Thrower: The address above also serves as the launching-pad for free, general discussion of browsers. If you feel strongly about IE, Nav, Communicator, or another browsers, or want to hear from people like yourself who have learned the ins and outs of one of another browser, join in!

You’re Wasting Your New Modem: Today’s high-speed modems (33.6, 56, ISDN…) have resurrected a hardware bottleneck you probably thought was dead and buried. You’re probably NOT getting all you could from your new modem! To learn about the problem---and see what you can do to solve it, check out my weekly online column at http://content.techweb.com/winmag//bbs/columns/ this Monday (10/20---the column stays up all week). The solution I’ll discuss can deliver impressive results---I’m getting 140-150Kbps from my ISDN line now, instead of the 80-90Kbps I used to.

Great New HotSpots Lineup: Some great HotSpots in this week’s lineup:

  • Sunday: Dry Canadian humor.
  • Monday: A relative rarity--- a good *hardware* oriented web site.
  • Tuesday: Something you don't see every day.
  • Wednesday: Incredibly stupid! I laughed out loud!
  • Thursday: Handy, clever, and free!
  • Friday: What to call up when you're caught surfing on company time.
  • Saturday: Great weekend resource.

And if you missed last Saturday’s (10/18) site, check it out: It contains hilarious audio---but not for the easily offended. That and all past HotSpots sites are available here .
