I f possible, put your computer on a
dedicated circuit. A dedicated circuit is a
power line back to the drcuit breaker in the
fuse box that you use for nothing but the
computer system. If you can't set up a

problem transients photocopiers, motors
and so on on different drcuits than your

Noise
Electrical noise is the most sinister power
problem. Noise can be damaging your
c omputer w i t h ou t g i v in g a n y s i g n .
Photocopiers are common sources of noise.
Noise can creep past your coxnputer's
defenses todo damage. The power supply
filters can mistakenly think noise is a data
agnaL Once inside a cotnputer, noise causes
erroneous data transmissions between
system components. Noise can destroy
stored data. Even worse, certain highfrequency noise can travel through circuit
paths, destroying integrated circuits and
printed circuit board substrates.0

CENTRE OF LEARNING
These days, with computers appearing on the desks of more and more professionals, the need for computer training has never been greater. At ANO we have
always put a high value on training. That's why have two 16-system classrooms at
our Richmond site equipped with nothing less than 386 Computers with SuperVGA
monitors.
We know how important it is to get not just training, but goodtraining. With
that in mind, we have inked a deal with Drake Computer Training making our Richmond site a Drake Training Centre.
Drake offers courses in General Computers, Windows, WordPerfect, Lotus
123, Excel, Accpac Plus, Dbase, MSWord, Pagemaker, Quattro Pro, CorelDRAW!,
HarvardGraphics,Novell N etware and more!

Wouldn't it be nice if the technicians
came to you? Well they will! Even if you
didn't buy your computer from ANO, we' ll
send our techs to your site.
All you need to do is purchase a
Security Support Plan. Call for details!
Our two Richmond classrooms can also be rented out during. the day. Need a
site and equipment to train your stafP. Contact our Training Co-ordinator in Richmond to find out our rates.

signals generated by the computer into
analog signals which can be transmitted over
a telephone hne and transforms incoming
analog signals into their digital equivalentL
The specific techniques used to encode
the digital bits into anafog signals are called

modulation protocols de6ne the exact
methods of encoding and the data transfer
speed. Infact,you cannot have a modem
without modulation protocols. A modem
typically s u pports m o r e t h a n one
modulation protocol.
The raw speed (the speed without data
compression) of a modem is determined by
the modulation protocols. High-speed

Data-compression Protocols
Besides errorwontrol protocols, all cuxrent
high-speed modems also support datacompression protocols. That means the
sending modem will compress the data onthe-fly and the receiving modem will
decompress the data to its original foxm.
MNP4 and V.4Rbh
T here ar e t w o s t a ndards fo r d a t a compression protocols: MNP4 and CCHT
V.42bis. Some modems also use propxietary
data-compression protocols. A modem
cannot support data compression without
udlizing an errorwontrol protocol, although
it is possible to have a modem that only
supports an errorwontrol protocol but not
any datawompression protocoL A MNPW
modem requires MNP 4 errorwontrol
protocol and a V.42bis modem requires
V.42 errorwontrol protocol.
Also note that although V.42 includes
MNP4, V.42bis does not indude MNP4.
However, virtually all high+peed modems
t hat s u ppor t C C I T T V .4 2 b i s a l s o
inco orate MNP4.
e maximum compression ratio that a
MNP4 modem can achieve is 2:1. That is to
say, a 9600 bps MNP4 modem can transfer
data up to 19200 bps. The maximum
compression ratio for a V.42bis modem is
4:1. That is why all those V.S2 modem
manufacturers claim that their modems
provide throughput up to 88400 bps.

Berkeley Softworks has come out with a new
Geoworks application and has made both
GeoManager and GeoWrite available as
separate packages. What is even more
interesting is that Borland has made a
Geoworks-compatible version of their
spreadsheet program Quattro Pro.
In Conclusion
While several of the applications need
improvement, Geoworks'program and file
management features are fast, easy to use,
and ficxible. GeoWorks is very simple to
install and requires no optimization. MS
Windows, on the other hand, can require a
fair degree of knowledge to optimize for a
given machine. Furthermore, MS Windows
requires a fast machine with lots of memory
to really run well. So unless you need to run
a Windows-based application, you are far
better off buying GeoWorks. 0

Apple Canada Launches 7Week PowerBook Promotion
MARKHAM, ONTARIO, FEB 7 (NB) Now
that Apple finally has a contender in the
notebook computer market, it wants to
make up for lost time. So Apple Canada is
setting out to get the attention of portable
computer buyers with an aggressive price
promotion of the PowerBook 100, the lowend model in its notebook line.
From February 10 to March Sl, Apple
Canada is offering the PowerBook 100 at a
suggested retail price of C$1,799. That is
t4900 less than the regular retail price of
C$2,699. The special price also indudes the
System 7.0 Tune-Up (an update to the
M acintosh o p e r atin g s y stem) a n d
AutoDoubler disk management software
from Salient Software.
In addition, company spokeswoman
Franca Miraglia told Newsbytes, Apple
Canada has arranged for a number of other
software vendors to make their products
available at special discount prices when
purchased along with a PowerBook 100.
Apple dealers will be able to offer customers
assoxted software discounts depending on
their needs, she said.
Apple said it shipped more than 100,000
PowerBooks worldwide during its Srst Sscal
uarter, which ended December 27. No
ata is available on Canadian PowerBook
shipments, Miraglia said.
The PowerBook 100 uses a i&megahertz
Motorola 68000 processor and comes with
two megabytes of random access memory
and a 20snegabyte internal hard disk drive.
An external diskette drive is aho provided.
The PowerBook 100 weighs 5.1 pounds. A
sealed leaded battexy provides two to four
hours of use before recharging, Apple said.
Salient's AutoDoubler software packs
more data into a given amount of hard disk
space by compressing iles.

Intel has announced it expects to introduce
as many as SO new processor chips during
the next few months. Most people agree this

settle on four or five chips selected from this
group. These new chips wiII be comprised of
both S86 and 486 designs. At the same thne
Intel is expected to cut the prices of the S86
chips by another 20 to SO per cent. This will
place their price at half that of the 1990
price. By March, Intel will be offering
several complete 486 PCUs.
It has been speculated that Apple may
discontinue the original Classic at the same
time it converts the Macintosh LC to the
680SO chip. This would make the complete
product line consist of 680SO and 68040
processors. If the Classic is dropped, the

The panelist seemed to think the product
was a crossbetween a drawing program, a

panelist called Thinx an 'interesting mental

would use the product.
Newsbytes went to the Thinx and spoke
to Bill McGrath, who said that the product

The session concluded with a brief

Nlajor Improvements
Did the new version S.O address these
concerns?
you bet your sweet bippy, and
much, much more. The interface remains
much the same for ease of transition by
current users, but subtle changes make the
program more accessible to the new user
who expects certain Mac constants. Now
there is a font menu (alas buried two
sub-menus under the Options menu), the
menu items are generally more intuitive,
configuring printing to practically any
printer is a brief and painless exercise and
an online help feature with good topic and
sub-topic organization means less need to
reach for the manuaL And, what a change
to the manuall to give you some idea of
the changes, the index of the previous
version's manual was eight pages, and the
new manual sports nineteen pages. Overall
the manual is better organized, the writing
is crisper, and when you need it, it is
genuinely helpful. The buttons now work
like you would expect (they didn't before),
there are a host of user conflgurable
options, e.g., determining whether the
return or tab key moves you from field to
field, set the date feature to display and
print
th e
Canadi a n
f or ma t
(day/month/year), and set a "billminder"
to remind you of post-dated cheques and
scheduled transactions when you either
turn on your computer or run Quicken.
