After two decades online, I'm perplexed. It's not that I haven't had a gas of a good time on the Internet. I've met great people and even caught a hacker or two. But today, I'm uneasy about this most trendy and oversold community. Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic.

KDE handles many basic user interface tasks such as managing windows on the screen and letting users launch programs and switch between them.

Service Pack 3 for Windows XP is approaching. Release candidate 1 of this service pack is available in a limited distribution. You probably don't want to mess with it yet.

Some basic features are upgraded, such as Microsoft Management Console to 3.0 and WPA (WiFi Protected Access) to 2, but Internet Explorer is not upgraded to version 7.
