I'm off to Los Angeles this week to spend a few busy days in the bowels of a hotel convention centre. Of
course with me going out of town, the product we want to show still being debugged, and brochures and other
travel supplies still to prepare, the server that hosts my company's site decided to have a hardware failure
two days ago, so getting the backup server online, and then fixing the main system has resulted in this issue
being a little late. Fortunately our authors came through with a bunch of good articles for you all this month.
Thanks to them and to our sponsors.
I'm still working on the eComStation 1.1 preview, hopefully that will get done before the product gets released :-)
I've been playing with it a bit, and so far I like the improvements I see. Hopefully more next month. I'm starting
to sound like Chris Wright near the end.
This Month
Douglas Clark ponders the future of Virtual PC and gives us an overview of interfacing Rexx with other applications,
John Bijnens looks at Electronic Teller, Isaac Leung tells us about DrawIt 3.5 and gives us a look at his desktop
and how he made it, Bas Heijermans talks about NFS and firewalls, and Tim Swank provides another couple of cool
looking desktops.
