Isolating or Integrating

My recent absence from these pages (in case anyone noticed), has been 
brought about by the combination of final exams where I attend school 
(as a "non-traditional," old student), and the concluding acts of 
writing of a book. They both went well, and assuming Peter doesn't 
mind, there'll be something about the book at the end of this column. 
This will also partially answer the question I've been flattered to 
have been asked a number of times by readers, here, i.e., what else 
have I written?

Now on to New Business.

I have made a habit -- as many of you likely have -- of watching the 
MSNBC program, "The Site." I also watch "60 Minutes" and see an almost 
incredible similarity between the latter's Andy Rooney and the 
former's Cliff Stoll.

OK, Stoll doesn't have the eyebrows and doesn't appear committed to 
offending a different group in nearly every appearance, but there are 
a great many similarities, otherwise.

Both take a slightly off-center approach to their subjects and are 
unquestionably entertaining. But, I often find myself, after a session 
watching one or the other, shaking my head and saying either, "Andy, 
Andy, Andy," or "Cliff, Cliff, Cliff."

More has been written about Rooney to make further discussion of his 
commentary unnecessary here, but there's something about Mr. Stoll's 
point of view that merits treatment (probably by one or more of my 
betters) here.

Stoll frequently makes the point that use of computers generally, and 
the Internet in particular, are isolating acts. Wouldn't it be far 
better, he frequently asks, to meet with friends, go out and toss a 
Frisbee or a baseball, etc.?

He occasionally makes me feel guilty for being interested in and 
active on the Net.

But he's wrong.

I have had contact (sometimes through response to this column) with 
people I would never have, were it not for the Internet. I have 
"spoken" with people in Greece, the People's Republic of China, Great 
Britain, Australia, and throughout the United States.

And these discussions haven't been of the variety that people used to 
have with "pen pals," about what the weather is like, what everybody 
has as a hobby and so forth. I've spoken with people about the nature, 
quality, and problems of pluralistic democracy, for example.

I've communicated with friends who have moved away. At present, 
besides corresponding with a former teacher who is still living 
locally, and a former boss who is likewise nearby, I regularly send 
and receive e-mail from a former supervisor who is now attending 
school 3000 miles away, a fellow professional writer who now lives in 
New England (I'm in Arizona), and a former co-worker now resident in 
Houston and working in banking.

Isolating?  I think not.

Granted, I spend a good deal of time at the keyboard, only part of 
which is for utilization of the Internet. Being a writer, if personal 
computers had never been invented (Heaven Forbid!), I'd be spending 
time at a typewriter. I agree that I probably wouldn't spend as much 
time there, because -- put simply -- writing at a computer is a good 
deal easier than writing at a typewriter.

Actually, that's created a whole new set of problems. Some people who 
can't write anything more complicated than recipes assume they can 
write because they know how to type. And, many who can write well 
become wordy (not this writer, of course), because it's so easy to 
manipulate text. But I digress.

I would spend nearly as much time writing at a typewriter, isolated 
from friends and family as I do at the computer keyboard. Writing is 
not social.

The Internet, however, is.

While looking at web pages may not be the equivalent of a town 
meeting, the e-mail that we send and receive certainly qualifies as 
social communication. Likewise, corresponding with fellow members of 
mailing lists brings us into contact with vastly more people of 
similar interests than would be likely to occur in the Internet's 
absence.

Moreover, to the extent we do involve ourselves with others, by way of 
Internet-based communication, we are (at least those of us who aren't 
disguising ourselves as someone else) communicating in pure form.

You don't know how tall or short I am unless I tell you and you 
believe me (I'm extremely tall, as it happens, often having to lower 
my head so as not to scrape paint off of acoustic ceilings). You don't 
know whether I'm fat or thin (I used to be one and am now the other), 
or young or old (I'm middle-aged, I suppose, but I look incredibly 
youthful).

In-person communication may be seen by some as better (though I 
suspect it's so viewed because it's what they're accustomed to), but 
all of the above factors and more affect how my thoughts are 
understood by you and how yours are taken in by me.

That seriously pollutes the content of what we try to say to each 
other, but when we communicate by e-mail or when you view my web page 
(I don't actually have one yet, but we're working on it, so stop 
nagging), we are communicating ideas, whether significant or trivial.

So yeah, I still play racquetball from time-to-time, and I often talk 
to my wife, watch TV and go to the vitamin store, but the Internet 
gives me a window on the world, through which I can view the thinking 
and humor and vitality of others, and through which my ideas, no 
matter how unimportant (and this writing may exemplify that) can be 
understood.

Alienation and isolation can happen (and they often do) in a crowd of 
other people. When they don't really listen or don't really 
understand, there's no socialization to speak of. Real communication 
doesn't depend on how well you throw a Frisbee or how I drink my tea, 
or whether your hair is well-combed, or if you have any.

If the Internet is isolation, I'd like to order a little more.

And speaking of ordering, and as mentioned earlier, I've recently put 
the finishing touches on a book. It's not the Great American Novel 
(modesty forbids my mentioning my other book in *that* realm), but is 
a handbook for health care providers, e.g., M.D.s, chiropractors, and 
hospitals.

The book is called "Stop Losing Money on Liens," and if you understand 
by its title what it's about, you're probably in one of the applicable 
fields. If you don't know what the title is talking about, it's not 
something that would interest you.

Nevertheless, to explain it a bit, the handbook provides information 
to its target audiences about how to stop losing money on the accident 
cases which health care providers treat and on which they take a lien 
against the recovery of their patient in the patient's personal injury 
case.

The book provides forms and explanations and is written (I hope) in a 
breezy, understandable, and sometimes humorous manner, avoiding the 
"legalese" and "technobabble," which some handbooks display.

Enough explanation/promotion. I won't go into pricing and ordering 
here, but if you or someone you know would like more info, here are 
the access methods: a) Write me an e-mail: jbush@goodnet.com b) If 
you're in central Arizona, call and leave a message at: 602-530-8694.

Thanks for listening.

4=> Product: Extensis Intellihance Version 2.0.1 - graphics/utility
Reviewed By: Richard Malinski, mailto:richard@acs.ryerson.ca
Reviewed on: 586 PC/133mhz and with 16mb Ram and Adobe Photoshop
MSRP: $149US or directly from Extensis for $99 US

Intellihance from Extensis is a bundle of filters which once invoked 
from Adobe Photoshop or some other application automatically improves 
the image that you are working with. It does this by analyzing the 
image and applying filters to optimize contrast, brightness, 
saturation, sharpness and despeckle.

The installation and use of this software is on the whole 
straightforward and uncomplicated. The installation wizard takes only 
a matter of a few seconds to transfer the program to your hard drive. 
Once there, it is ready for integration into Adobe Photoshop. The user 
manual details this installation process as well as outlines the 14 
files that are stored in three directories. Even if the uninstall does 
not work it is not difficult to do a manual erase with this file list. 
The uninstall did not work when I tried to use it. I could not figure 
out why it did not work but then I had the list. Linking Intellihance 
with Pagemaker was not as easy as with Photoshop but was not difficult 
in the end. The manual does caution the use of Intellihance with other 
applications so take note.

The use of Intellihance can be automatic, using the default settings, 
or it can be customized to your particular taste. You open Photoshop, 
bring up your RGB, CMYK or GS image, open Intellihance from the filter 
list and click on the Enhance Image in the dialog box. This applies 
the default settings and enhances the image. You can also use the 
Preferences button to have a before and after view of your image. This 
enables you to see what changes the default settings of Intellihance 
makes. If you prefer, you can choose to alter the default settings at 
this time by bringing up the preferences box and adjusting the filters 
until they are suitable. This latter task is achieved by clicking on 
the filter that you want to adjust and choosing the level of change. 
For example, in the contrast filter you can select from Normal (the 
default), off, soft, snappy, hard, flatten shadows or flatten hilights 
(highlights). The two flatten choices are added for special publishing 
applications; the first for printing on newspaper and the second when 
you want to push some shadow noise into the blacks. Needless to say, 
you have to see the impact of each of these but they do give a 
considerable amount of choice for fitting the image to your purpose.

The other filters work in a similar fashion. Once example that might 
be important to users is the despeckle filter. With this filter the 
photograin or scanner-induced noise can be removed while still 
preserving detail. The dialog box gives access to four choices; off 
(the default), overall, dark tones only and light tones only. These 
last two permit you to restrict the filtering to the darker or lighter 
areas of the image.

The Fine Tune dialog box is another feature which allows those of you 
interested in modifying specific values within the image added 
control. For instances, if you have an RGB image, you can adjust the 
R, G and B values of the image by using the slide controls provided 
for each of the filters. This is not a novel method but very 
effective.

There are other features which make this piece of software another in 
the grab-bag of useful tools for image enhancement. You can use the 
PixelCraft ColorAccess professional colour conversion table included 
to convert RGB to CMYK images ready printing. You can compensate for 
over saturation or over exposure that often occurs in photo CDs. You 
can also generate a report of the changes that you've made so that you 
can keep the levels right with your print.

The manual also gives many hints on when to choose a filter and what 
to watch for as you apply them. This part of the manual is also very 
useful in giving insights into evaluating your scanner, on determining 
the need for despeckle, giving tips on the use and affect of the 
filters, and setting the lines per inch of your output image. There is 
also a handy glossary of terms. All in all, a handy booklet of only 
some 33 pages.

Having said all this about the software, the real question remains, Is 
it worth the money? Intellihance is a capable piece of software that 
allows a great deal of modification of graphic images. It plugs right 
into Photoshop with no problem. However, these days as the number of 
digital cameras increase, there are growing numbers of software 
filters. You get filter software with the cameras. You get the filters 
built right into the graphics software. You can download shareware 
versions from the internet. Intellihance does provide convenience 
because it bundles effective tools into a reliable plug-in for 
Photoshop.

For information on the new Version 2.0.3 check out the Extensis home 
page At the same time you can also find out about their good products 
and even some free software.

5=> Program: Artisoft I.Share 2.0 - network/resource sharing
Reviewed By: Tim Mullenniex, mailto:nrider@eskimo.com
Requires: Windows 95/NT, WFW or Lantastic Network

This product is designed and used for making one computer in your 
network a server for access onto the Internet.

Installation: I.Share comes on one CD with a written manual that takes 
you step by step through the install process. When you put the CD in 
the drive it begins the installation. It comes up with a menu of 
different programs you can install, featuring I.Share as the main 
program. On this release it has Eudora Light, AOL PressTierra 
Highlights, NetCentric FaxStorm, Kali '95 and Free Agent. These are 
all utilities that can be used on the Internet, from e-mail to web 
publishing.

I found this program a breeze to install and configure for my network. 
I already had my Internet service installed using Dialup Scripting in 
Windows 95 and the program found the dialup without problem. The 
machine that I tested it on is a 486-DX 100 with 16 Megs of RAM. This 
program did not slow it down and took up very little resources. It is 
possible to install the server portion of the program across the 
network, which is a handy feature if you only have one CD-ROM on the 
network to work with. The Windows 95 CD-ROM is necessary for the 
installation (for some of the drivers and files), so keep your 
operating system disks handy. If you do not have the Dial Up Adapter 
and TCP/IP installed, it takes you step by step through the process of 
getting it working with your Internet provider.

When the server boots up, I.Share is automatically invoked in the 
background and there is nothing else to setup after initial 
installation. An icon on the task bar pops up to show that the program 
is running. There is also a menu on the I.Share server program, making 
it possible to dial up your service without installing the client 
portion on the server machine. An important limitation is that 
concerning the single dial-out. Only one dial-up connection to the 
Internet can be used at a time, unless you have more than one modem 
with server installed and separate phone line. Basically, the first 
client on an I.Share server gets to pick the resource. This goes for 
the people on the network client side as well. If any of them try 
logging on while you are on a service, I.Share will only let them log 
onto the service that you are currently using. Warning messages will 
appear if they (or you) try to change Internet servers.

The meat of the program is that only one modem is necessary on a 
network for everyone to log on to collect their e-mail or browse. It 
might be worthwhile to install a single ISDN modem, instead of a 28.8 
for each individual machine on the network. The system will support up 
to 32 simultaneous connections using one modem, Ethernet, or corporate 
Intranet connect. I.Share can also dial out on demand.

Security is good because it has a built in firewall, password 
protection and a restricted i.Watch program. With the i.Watch program 
you have a list of URLS that can be accessed by all or some of the 
users. This program allows you to designate different levels of access 
for individual users; this can be as specific as allowing only certain 
pages of a site. If you can type in the address, you can censor it. 
This is very good if you have kids or employees you wish to protect 
from unsuitable sites. The logging support is excellent. I.Share even 
includes a macro for Excel, making report headers easy to understand, 
as well as contributing to an overall readability.

6=> Product: Sacred Ground: Santa Fe Mysteries - game/mystery
Reviewed By: Don Hughes, mailto:dhughes@wwdc.com
Requirements: 486, 8 MB, 2x CDROM, SVGA, soundcard

Sacred Ground is a who did it mystery where you get to play the 
detective and have five days in which to solve the case. Randa Tasker 
has been kidnapped and as the rookie detective must find the evidence 
leading to the guilty party--save her life, not to mention your 
career. During installation you have two choices, play the game in 
Windows 95 or MS-DOS mode. Sacred Ground by Activision has very 
specific hardware requirements for it to work on a computer system 
using Windows 95 or MS-DOS, so make sure you have what it needs before 
you buy it.

The test computer was Pentium 100 MHz PCI bus, 16 Meg of ram and an 
ATI WinTurbo graphics card (2 meg of ram on each card) and a Creative 
lab AW32 sound card and an 8X CD- ROM drive. Having all the 
requirements necessary I started to install the game, and the DirectX 
software. With the game finished installing I checked my system and 
discovered DirectX had altered my ATI graphics card setting-- removing 
the ATI setting tabs from Display/Start/Settings/control 
panel/display).

To start game insert CD disk number one into the tray and close the CD-
ROM door. Sacred Ground will AutoPlay and take the user to the main 
screen. The main screen offers three choices; "Play" for a new game, 
or "Restore" or "Exit."

In the bite size manual supplied with the game, Activison states: "We 
recommend that the save the game often so you can go back to an 
earlier point in your game rather than starting over from the 
beginning." I also urge any user of this game to do this very often, 
just in the game hangs or locks up.

Problems encountered with the game: After playing Sacred Ground for an 
hour or so, the sound distorted, then game locked up solid. Rebooting 
Windows work and returned me to main screen, next I restarted the game 
and got an error message saying the sound driver could not be found. I 
decided to completely uninstall, and reinstall the program. Once 
completed game returned to normal operation, only to crash again, but 
at a different point in the game. I contacted ATI and downloaded a 
newer version of video drivers hoping this would end the errors 
encountered running the game. With the drivers installed, I rechecked 
my settings, and found the ATI tabs returned too normal.

Back to playing the game as while into day three without an error 
cropping up. A few days later, my spouse was holding a party for her 
staff, and a few of them asked if they could see the Sacred Ground 
mystery game. Soon the computer became a gathering point with one 
person operating the computer and seven more guessing the clues. 
Murphy's law struck again with the error, only this time on day four.

A quick reboot brought the computer back to life and the same error 
message with no sound. Later , I decided to try this game from DOS and 
see if it would run any better or would the same type of error crop 
up. True to form the program error (only this time on day four) and 
kicked me out to the DOS prompt"no sound errors this time. Unable to 
contact Activision by phone, a couple of weeks ago I then sent a fax 
to the company explaining the errors. To date I have had no response 
from Activision.

However, in spite of its faults Sacred Ground is a fascinating game to 
play. Although I will admit not to being a fan of detective stories, 
this game caught my interest. The interactions between the player and 
on screen actors are first rate and you can check out the scene for 
clues. But, you need to save many times during a game should an error 
appear you can reboot and go right back solving clues.

Make no mistake about this is not an easy game to play, and the player 
has a tendency to observe the actor's action and not pay enough 
attention to the soundings. During the game you get to met a vast cast 
of characters, from the spouse, servant, doctor, activists, and town 
gossips. Embroiled in background of this mystery is the white man's 
treatment of native Americans, other minorities, and the rich verses 
the poor.

Activision's Sacred Ground is fertile in details, clues and a never 
ending line up of suspicious characters, whom all seem to have a 
motive for kidnapping Ranada Tasker. Just when you think you have a 
suspect for the crime, the game throws in a bizarre twist or two. You 
and your partner (John Night Sky) are given a PDA (Personal Digital 
Assistant) by the chief to keep track of you are, evidence, case file, 
and e-mail. The chief of police pops up from time to time just to 
remind you and Night Sky about the case and give you words of support.

When you start Scared Ground the game looks simple and limited in 
playing flexibility. However, those type idea changes as you progress 
with the game. To solve the crime in Sacred Ground you need the skill 
of Sherlock Homes, and the patience of Dr. Watson.

The game, its features and interactive video make Sacred Ground a 
first class product. However, the errors encountered do take away some 
of the games playing enjoyment. All of the women attending the staff 
party had not seen this type of computer game. They gave high marks to 
Activision's product, and some of them intend to return and finish 
playing the game. Just one more note About Sacred Ground. If you do 
not solve the crime within the five days (computer time not actual 
days) you are taken off the case and assigned to a desk job till your 
detective skills improve. Not to worry though, you can have the desk 
next to mine.

7=> Product: DeskVoice 33.6 Voice/Fax/Modem - hardware/modems
Reviewed By: Doug Reed, mailto:dr2web@sprynet.com
Requirements: free ISA slot, DOS 5.0+
MSRP: $109

Every once in a while you get a product to review that is just 
perfect, that you look at and say - "You know, they got it right". 
Actiontec has long been known as a manufacturer of PC card modems - 
modems for laptops; the Deskvoice is their first venture into the 
realm of the desktop computer. The Deskvoice meets all the criteria 
for a superb piece of hardware - it is easy to install, easy to use, 
and never gives you a lick of trouble (at least, not so far!). 
Combined with a price that is on the low end for a 33.6 modem and 
Actiontec has a very hot product on their hands.

Like most hardware manufacturers today, Actiontec states that their 
modem is "Plug and Play" (or "Plug and Pray", take your pick). For 
once this isn't a load of you- know-what; I put the Deskvoice modem 
into it's slot, turned the computer on, inserted the disk when Windows 
95 asked for it, and that was it. No IRQ conflicts, no missing 
drivers, no problems at all as a matter of fact. Although it seems 
almost pathetic to cheer when someone gets plug and play right, 
nevertheless Actiontec has found some way to manage it. Congrats!

Actiontec also comes with software courtesy of Cheyenne - their superb 
Bitware program that includes both software for using the modem as a 
fax machine and for voice mail. The latter feature is where the 
DeskVoice gets it's name - the DeskVoice can function as a voice mail 
utility with up to 30 mailboxes. I didn't get around to testing this 
feature - I spent all of my time insuring that the modem functioned 
well in the one area I considered most important: connecting to the 
Internet. I am quite happy to report that the DeskVoice functions very 
well in this regard!

Modems that function at 33.6 are still new enough that not all ISPs 
support them. When I first got the DeskVoice, Sprynet did not support 
33.6, but luckily for me that changed during the course of my review 
and I was able to test the modem at it's designated speed. 
Occasionally with my old modem I would get a message back saying that 
the network I was attempting to connect to was incompatible with the 
setting I had designated - forcing me to stop the connection and 
restart it. I thought this was a problem with Sprynet, but this little 
"bug" has not appeared during all the time that I have been using the 
DeskVoice. I did my best to get the modem to fail - I tried everything 
I could think of it to get the modem to fail - at one point I was 
downloading two different files simultaneously, all while chatting on 
Yahoo and retrieving my email. The fact that I accomplished all of 
these feats - without a huge cost in performance or a corrupted file - 
was amazing to me.

Actiontec's DeskVoice modem is a definite winner! If only the rest of 
my hardware had been so easy to install! Kudos, Actiontec!
