Happy May 1st, Labor Day.
Anyone march ? When I was a kid we used to get a day off school, so we
could march.

*nobody* runs OS/2 anymore, right ?
The Office of Surveyor General are in the process of purchasing a 4th
GPS base station to compliment the current network which has sites
located at Ballarat, Bendigo and Melbourne.
The current base stations are running under OS/2 Warp 3, we intend to
run Warp 4 on the new PC.
Peter Oates from State Data Centre is putting it in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
John Fairfax Limited (of SMH fame) have been testing OS/2 for use as
desktop platform.
Whilst is seems, due to change in application they use, they might not
implement it, the MIS people who were evaluating it told us:
It's an excellent system, extremely relaible, we really like it.
We wish we would be using it.
but you wouldn't read about it in the SMH, would you ?

sorry, no picture of Sarah Lillan Newman in this issue:

When I can afford a scanner ;). I will have to bring her in instead!
Cheers,

Alex, last weekend, I was trying to put Roman (2 2/12yo) to sleep in his
cot, 30 seconds after I put him in the cot and lifted the side, he was
running along the corridor, with a huge GRIN, calling: I GOT OUT ! I GOT
OUT !
So I took him back, and said: show me how you got out, and with even BIGGER
GRIN, he did.
Oh well, no more cot...

****Internet Framing and Copyright****
soon change. In February 1997, a Complaint was lodged by The Washington
Post, Time Inc, Cable News Network, Times Mirror, Dow Jones and Reuters New
Media against Totalnews in the New York District Court. The plaintiffs
claim that Totalnews has, by "framing" and "linking" to their content on the
Totalnews site, amongst other things, misappropriated valuable commercial
property, engaged in false representation and advertising, committed Federal
Trademark dilution, infringed their registered trade and service marks and
copyright (including domain names). Totalnews, which was launched in
October 1996 has stated its intention to defend its actions. The outcome of
this case will be important in shaping the future of the use of trade marks
and copyright material and the "linking" to same on the Internet. As income
derived from advertising on the Internet continues to grow, so to do the
risks and potential damages which may be awarded against an infringing
party. As with all other forms of media such as books, films etc permission
should be obtained from the author prior to using the work in any way to
avoid risky and expensive litigation.

IBM will introduce a version of OS/2 Warp Server next week at
its Technical Interchange conference in St. Louis, optimized
for network computing. Bluebird is a derivative of OS/2 Warp
Server that stores as many as six different desktop
configurations on the server. Those client systems are pushed
down to desktop computers when users boot up. The server also
stores data files and the user's access to network services.
terminal emulation, a browser desktop, a DOS/Windows 3.1
desktop, or a slimmed-down version of the Workplace Shell and
Presentation Manager. All client systems include the Java
Virtual Machine, so every desktop has Java application
support, according to Steven King, product manager for Warp
Server at IBM's personal software products division in
Austin, Texas. Bluebird will support multiple network cards
in one PC and automatically perform load balancing to
maximize network throughput.
and all client systems are small enough for a 486-class
machine, IBM officials say. IBM expects to ship Bluebird
around the Comdex trade show in November. -- Andy Patrizio
