News . com (http://news . com . com) has posted up a comparo that pits USB against Firewire to see which is the true speed king . Here's a bit from the article: USB 2 . 0, which can move data up to 480mbps, compared with the pokey 12mbps handled by USB 1 . 1, provides stiff competition ( . com . com/2100-1040-928089 . html" target="_blank">news . com . com) for FireWire, a technology invented by Apple Computer that transports data at 400mbps . Partly due to delays in launching USB 2 . 0, FireWire has gained in popularity in the past two years . But with USB 2 . 0 on the market, FireWire temporarily loses its title as the speed king . Perhaps most importantly, FireWire also represents a more costly option for PC makers than USB 2 . 0, which could undermine its acceptance .

The Inquirer has gotten hold of the very soon to be released nVidia 30 . 20 drivers and have run them up to see how these drivers solve the bug problem uncovered with the last set . Here's part of what they had to say: The updated driver appears to deliver 500+ 3dmarks compared to 28 . 32 and that difference with and without the splash screen is quite small .

56644	2002-06-24 04:23:00	Why don't you do a find/replace, replacing "http" with "<url=http" and then typing ">%SiteName%</url>" in. <> are obviously replaced with []. Or you could write a simple app which searched for a URL in a text doc (http*), displayed it and requested an input (name, and then performed the conversion. Not very hard to do at all. No, I am not voluntaring - too much else on. G P	Graham Petrie (449)
