Dillard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Netsites Discussion Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 07:17:46 -0700 Subject: [netsites] ARTICLE: Business Air Travel in an Age of Vital Elect ronic Equipment Transport and Airport Security ARTICLE: Business Air Travel in an Age of Vital Electronic Equipment Transport and Airport Security When executives and other important corporate employees travel, they may carry with them vital corporate information and trade secrets in electronic devices like laptop computers. This article discusses ways that airport security checks can be handled in such a way as to reduce risks to the vital electronic tools transported with the business traveler. One consideration not mentioned in the article is to be careful of the content on the laptop, personal digital assistant or other electronic device. Reduce or eliminate corporate information on the software and hardware in these devices themselves and use resources that the computer can link to via the internet when at meetings or events or a work station at the travel destination as the information sources of confidential information and data. Intranets, extranets and private password protected websites are sources not on the hard drive of a laptop and the data cannot be stolen with the theft of the laptop if it resides in these locations. This is particularly the case if the password to such resources are not on the laptop or are well encrypted to protect them from a user who has stolen the electronic device.

Merrimack, New Hampshire, September 10, 2002: Ken Winograd and Space-Time Associates announced today the release of version 2.0 of an exciting Macintosh game called Brickles3000. Brickles3000 is an all-new game based on the 'ball and paddle' game called Brickles, which was first offered in 1985, shortly after the introduction of the first Macintosh. Brickles3000 is not your typical 'ball and paddle' game. Brickles3000 features adjustable colors and patterns, adjustable ball and paddle sizes, adjustable speed and window sizes. Even the number of paddles in the game can be changed. Brickles3000 is suitable for everyone from the very youngest children learning to use a mouse, to fast-paced arcade fans. The new Brickles3000, aside from being optimized for the PowerPC, also features much smoother animation than in days past. A new toolbar allows for rapid personalized game customizations, making it a snap to adjust speed, ball and paddle sizes, game colors and window sizes and shapes. Brickles3000 v2.0 is the first version to be 'carbonized' allowing the game to run natively on both Macintosh OS 9 and OS X. This version also includes other playability and cosmetic improvements. Brickles3000 requires a PPC Macintosh with a screen resolution of 800x600 (or more), and OS 9 or OS X. Brickles3000 is available now for a free trial.
