***Canopus to Supply NVIDIA RIVA TNT on Spectra 2500
(September 1)Canopus has announced its SPECTRA 2500 graphics accelerator that
is powered by a fan-cooled NVIDIA RIVA TNT 128- bit graphics chip
and 16MB of high-speed SDRAM.The company has incorporated its WitchDoctor technology into the
SPECTRA 2500, giving owners of 3Dfx Voodoo1 and Voodoo2-based
boards a "reverse" pass-through connection to support both TNT
and Voodoo cards."We believe the serious gamer will like using both a Voodoo2 and
a TNT board. Our WitchDoctor pass-through technology allows them
to get the most out of both boards," said Hiro Yamada, President
and CEO of Canopus Corporation. "And now users can view their
desktop graphics at much higher resolutions without the loss of
quality caused by traditional Voodoo pass-through cables."The SPECTRA 2500 is scheduled to ship late September with a
suggested retail price of $199.99.System requirements include a Intel Pentium II, Celeron, AMD -
K6, or other system supporting AGP graphics, Windows 95, 98 or
NT 4.0, an AGP slot, a CD-ROM drive, and 16 MB of memory (32MB
for NT).http://www.canopuscorp.com
***High-End 3D Card Sales Lower E&S Performance
(September 2)Evans & Sutherland released a revenue and earnings outlook for
the third quarter. Full results for the third quarter will be
released on Thursday, Oct. 15. Based on two months results in
this quarter (July/August) and current business conditions, E&S
said it expects the third quarter to be slightly profitable at
approximately $.02 to $.04 net earnings per share on revenue of
$50 million, compared to $.40 per share on revenue of $38.5
million in 1997. The company expects a substantially stronger
fourth quarter based on strength in its simulation businesses and
partial recovery in its graphics unit.Comments from James R. Oyler, President and Chief Executive
Officer "We are seeing a decline in industry-wide orders for
high-end NT workstations with professional-level graphics
systems, starting in Asia but now worldwide. We believe this
decline started in the second quarter of 1998 and will extend at
least into the first quarter of 1999."The current quarter will be most heavily affected because the
lower consumption rate is amplified by inventory reductions among
the computer makers. Other makers of professional graphics
systems are reporting similar weakness."The effect of the downturn on our Desktop Graphics unit was
amplified somewhat by the acquisition of AccelGraphics earlier
this year. However, by far the larger effect comes from lower
royalties on chip sales both for our own board production and to
other customers."The fourth quarter in Desktop Graphics should improve because of
higher volume shipment of new products, because inventory
reductions will be largely completed at our OEM customers, and
because we have continued to expand our customer base."Outside of Desktop Graphics, our simulation business should meet
expectations for the year in both revenue and profit, and we have
very strong backlog. Total expenses are under tight control and
well below plan, with further reductions being taken.Though Desktop Graphics will lose money in 1998, we expect it to
be profitable in 1999."http://www.es.com.

***PaperFree First EC/EDI Vendor to Support Interactive EDI
Standards
(August 14)PaperFree Systems, Inc. announced the availability of UN/EDIFACT
interactive EDI standards in WinMap, the company's map
development tool. WinMap provides electronic messaging to the
travel industry's reservation systems.Prior to the release of the new standards, travel organizations
had to hard code programs to link their reservation systems. Each
had their own format, which was inefficient and time consuming.Currently there are 4 interactive UN/EDIFACT messages approved by
the UN: Reservation Request (RESREQ)
Reservation Response (RESRSP)
Availability Request (AVLREQ)
Availability Response (AVLRSP)
These messages are used between airlines and their reservation
systems, hotels, car rentals, and ferry stations. The messages
allow the agents to make a reservation and inquire about
availability in a standard message format.With the incorporation of PaperFree's standards to WinMap,
organizations can graphically map their application data
dictionaries to these standards. The standards will eliminate 90%
of the difficulty of adding interactive EDI to reservation
systems because users will be able to add business logic to the
mapping without writing code.http://www.paperfree.com
***$1.14 Billion Invested in Network Start-Ups
(August 28)More than 200 network firms garnered a total of $1.14 billion in
venture capital in Q2 of 1998, according to a Network World
Fusion study. Data for the study was compiled and analyzed by
Price Waterhouse Coopers and Network World. This tops the
previous record of $1.03 billion in Q4 of 1997.Silicon Valley and New England attracted most of the start-ups
and e-commerce firms targeting business markets. Net growth was
also seen in Colorado, Texas, and Southern California.Start-ups developing wireless communications products and
services continues to represent the most sought after
investments, with the Internet leading the way. Sixty percent of
the 209 network companies that received venture capital in Q2
were Internet-related.So far this year $2.07 billion has been invested in 377 network
companies.http://www.nwfusion.com
***Oracle Application Server 4.0 Combined with HolonTech's
Cluster Enabling
(August 25)Oracle Corp. and HolonTech Corporation announced their end-to-end
solution that offers customers application and hardware high
availability across all three tiers of Oracle's Network Computing
Architecture. The solution will be a low cost, high performance,
and scalable web-based application.Performance testing utilized four NEC ES1200 Pentium/NT servers
with 512MB of memory, the HolonTech HyperFlow, and Oracle
Application Server. Using a WebStone 2.1 benchmark application,
this configuration achieved 900 Web requests per second, roughly
77 million per day, at a total cost of under $35K. This compares
to SMP solutions that produce similar results at a price of over
$140K.Oracle Application Server 4.0 provides application high
availability, while HolonTech's HyperFlow, a cluster enabling
device, provides hardware high availability.Oracle Application Server allows organizations to deploy and
manage all of their applications on a standard server platform,
rather than on hundreds of desktop PCs. This allows client-
independent applications with the application server as a central
point of access to any database, application or legacy system.
Version 4.0 integrates industry standard technologies including
CORBA 2.0, Internet InterORB Protocol (IIOP), and Enterprise Java
Beans.Holontech's patent pending Advanced Flow Control Algorithm
provides load balancing, cluster management and control, and the
ability to add or delete servers without interrupting service.
The HyperFlow can be configured for redundancy using
Active/Active or Active/Passive fail-over architecture. It also
provides router fault tolerance.When combined, the two allow the user to assign server resources
based on specific cartridge or application utilization, rather
than applying resources globally. To achieve high availability,
the existing infrastructure can be used, and as business needs
change, low cost servers can be added to incrementally increase
scalability, performance and price performancehttp://www.oracle.com

***Next Generation of AT&T Chat 'N Talk Debuts on Lycos
(August 25)The next generation of AT&T Chat 'N Talk makes its debut on Lycos
enabling up to seven people to turn an online chat session into a
confidential, real-time voice conversation.Chat 'N Talk is the first AT&T Inter@ctive Communications program
to be featured on the Lycos website. The new program expands the
number of people who can participate from two to seven and has
the ability to allow participants to add other known parties from
outside the chat room.The enhancements are made possible due to a collaboration between
AT&T and eShare Technologies, a provider of enterprise class
interaction software and services.Chat 'N Talk will use EShare's Expressions, a server based
software solution for adding live, real-time interaction. An
Internet user will initiate a talk session in Lycos chat by
highlighting and clicking on a name. The participant is asked if
he/she wants to accept a voice chat. When the acceptance is made,
the participant will be asked to enter their phone number, which
is kept confidential.After entering the phone number, the participant's phone will
ring and the initiator of the talk session will be on the line.
The host can initiate this process with up to six chat-room
participants in the continental US.Chat 'N Talk has a set-up fee of $0.50 per participant and a
charge of $0.25 per minute per participant, all payable by the
session host.System requirements: 486 or higher PC, running Windows 95 with at
least 16 megabytes of RAM, Internet Explorer 3.02 or above,
Netscape Navigator 3.0 or above, one phone line separate from the

(August 25)The People's Bank of China plans to issue between 1.5-2 million
computerized smart cards next year. Last year, the Bank of China
engaged Visa International to develop national and international
smart card standards for the Chinese market. Schlumberger Ltd.
announced that it will provide the cards and the electronic
machines that process them, as well as train consumers and clerks
to use them.The smart cards will be wallet sized and will have an embedded
silicon chip that can store information and make simple
mathematical calculations. A consumer will be able to download
electronic cash and present the card for payment. The merchant
will run the card through an electronic reader which records the
transaction and credits the merchant's account.Consumers can also get money directly from the bank with the
cards. Schlumberger will design the cards so that other
applications can be added later such as the inclusion of medical
cards or driver license information.***IDC reports Leadership Industries for $124billion Internet
Economy
(August 25)IDC announced the industries in the $124 billion U.S. Internet
economy based on their spending for products, services and
internal staff to extend their business models using Internet
technologies.Manufacturers of hard goods are leading the spending in 1998,
with an estimated $23 billion being invested by the industry
segment in Web applications for extranet, intranets and commerce
Web sites. Next among the top five industries were
communications/media and banking, each with $15 billion to be
spent this year. Laggards among the 18 industry groups tracked
were government and education with less than $2 billion in
spending. The figures below show the top industries.1998 Spending ($ Billions)
Discrete Manufacturing $23.0
Communications/Media $15.2
Banking $15.1
Services $10.9
Process Manufacturing $10.0
Retail $8.4IDC forecasts the U.S. Internet economy--the combination of
spending to build Web businesses and applications and the revenue
from products and services sold over the Internet--to grow from
$124 billion in 1998 to $518 billion in 2002. While technology
deployment is the lion's share of the economy, significant
spending is also occurring for marketing and branding activities,
professional services, content creation, and education and
training.***Host of Companies Compete for Business Data Storage on the Web
(August 9)Companies are beginning to fight for market share in a service
called hosting, the storage of webpage text/content for computer
users. The players range from large companies like IBM Corp, and
GTE Corp to smaller ones like Sage Networks Inc. and Taylor
Group.They are fighting for a position in the industry that now has
4,000-5,000 hosting companies, which maintain the servers that
store Internet data. These companies had combined sales of $400
million in 1997, according to Forrester Research. That number is
expected to reach $1.9 billion in 1999 and $10.5 billion by 2002.This growth is propelled by the surge in online shopping.
Electronic commerce had more than $20 billion in sales last year,
2/3 of that in business-to-business transactions. Forrester
estimates that this will reach $350 billion by 2002.Some of the largest online companies manage their own servers and
networks, but often in small or medium size firms, this work is
contracted out to hosting companies. Most of the time the work is
done by Internet service providers who provide dial-up phone
connections. Along with the connection, they sell service
packages for an average of $300-400 a year to store webpages,
execute orders, and provide software to post purchases to buyers'
credit cards while transmitting deposits to sellers' bank
accounts.Seeing this as an opportunity, major business software developers
such as Lotus Development Corp. and Microsoft Corp. are market
testing their own versions of products for small companies to use
via the Internet. These products would install master copies of
specialized software and rent access to users.Other companies believe acquisitions are the answer. Sage
Networks has spent more than $20 million to buy eight hosting
companies since March. These acquisitions have helped them become
one of the top 10 hosting companies in the country and they are
planning to have between 15-25 companies under their control by
January 1999.The leader in the hosting market is Hiway Technologies Inc. which
claims it has 87,000 customers. Second is Verio Inc. with 125,000
customers buying connections to the Internet and 65,000 hosting
customers.http://www.forrester.com

(August 21)Brilliant is launching Multipath Movies by bundling Internet
enabled CD-ROMs on nearly 6 million PCs shipped worldwide by
Packard Bell NEC. They have formed partnerships with Compuserve
and British Telecom to distribute the movies over the web.The company claims that its new Digital Projector Web Tool can
deliver full screen, full motion 3D movies over the Internet,
even at slow, dial-up modem connection speeds. Users with low,
mid, or high-bandwidth connections can view 3D movies at full
screen resolution at up to 60 frames per second, depending on the
speed of their PC.Multipath movies are 3D digitally animated stories with multiple
plot alternatives that are influenced by the user. Users can
dictate the story and graphics as well as the characters moods
and actions with a click of the mouse.In order to use the pay-per-view system, a user must have a copy
of the company's Digital Projector, a proprietary tool that is
pre-bundled with existing Multipath Movie CD-ROM data. This sells
for $6.95 on the company's website.Currently the Digital Projector is free to use for previews of
the movies and can be used with Microsoft Explorer. A Netscape
Navigator version is planned for release in September.The company's title offerings include Xena: The Warrior Princess,
Ace Ventura: The Case of the Serial Shaver, Popeye and Friends:
The Rescue and Sunken Treasure, among others. New online episodes
are expected and will be initially priced starting at $2.95.System requirements are 28K modem and Windows 95 or Windows NT.

***Networking Convergence May be Limited
(August 25)Contrary to the belief that in the long term the market for
information technology will be dominated by a number of industry
players, Forrester Research is predicting that shifting buying
patterns for network equipment and the emergence of new vendor
specialists will keep the market flat.In their report, Network Industry Convergence, they predict that
although sales of network equipment will be strong over the next
five years, lower margins and the Internet's growth will change
the market dynamics.Forrester predicts that the market for local area network (LAN)
products will flatten out by the year 2002 as Etherent and IP
standards make it easy for vendors to build fast and reliable
switches with features that are less expensive than today's
offerings. As this process simplifies, new competitors will enter
the market with cheap products forcing vendors to compete with
increasingly narrow margins.Business suppliers will need to overcome these thin margins by
leveraging volume manufacturing, strong distribution, and
Internet commerce presence. Brand recognition will be a
significant factor as well.According to Forrester, the consumer market will reach $1.2
billion by 2002. This growth will keep the demand for Internet
access gear and routing switches soaring, as 2 million businesses
and 30 million customers move online by 2002.By the year 2001, Forrester expects the network equipment market
to be populated with several large generalists that succeed in
multiple markets and a number of specialists that deliver best-
in-class products to a single target market.http://www.forrester.com
***GI selects ATI's RAGE graphics chips for its next-generation

***Quark Inc. Discloses Proposal to Acquire Adobe Systems Inc.
(August 25)Quark announced that it has proposed an acquisition transaction
with California-based Adobe Systems pursuant to which Quark would
acquire a significant interest in Adobe at a premium to today's
market price for Adobe common stock.Quark also made public a letter sent to the co-chairmen of the
Adobe Board of Directors, urging the Adobe Board to seriously
reconsider the acquisition proposal made by Quark last week in a
letter dated August 18, 1998. The proposal expressed an interest
by Quark in acquiring all or a significant portion of Adobe's
common stock at a cash price that would be at a premium above
Adobe's current market price and requested a meeting with Adobe
management. Quark's proposal was summarily rejected by Adobe in a
letter dated August 21, 1998."We believe that some Adobe products would have excellent
synergies with our product lines and provide significant
advantages to both companies' customers. Additionally, the
combination we have proposed would create considerable value and
benefits through the synergies, cost-savings and cross-marketing
opportunities realizable only through such a transaction," said
Tim Gill, founder and chairman. "We are pursuing this
transaction with every intent to be fair to Adobe employees,
stockholders, and customers."The Quark proposal submitted last week also expressed Quark's
intention to commit to divest certain of Adobe's products as a
solution to any regulatory issues that may surface as a result of
the business combination. "We are committed to resolving any
regulatory issues in order to complete this transaction as we
believe the result will be highly advantageous to both our
respective customers and the Adobe shareholders. Our intention is
to enter into a friendly transaction with Adobe," said Fred
Ebrahimi, Quark president and CEO.http://www.adobe.com/
