We Have A New Club-Owned Projector for Our Meetings
With the successful contribution campaign, topped off with the raffle of Microsoft Office software, we had accumulated sufficient funds to purchase projector The projector selected in our price range is an Optomo EP719 projector. It is an XGA, DDR, DLP projector capable of 1024 x 768 pixel projection. Come and see it at the September meeting.
What? Rootkit Again?
In the last issue we carried an article which discussed a new threat which currently may be going undetected even by latest antivirus programs and firewalls.

Anyone for an ADSL Router?

Tacoma, according to the hype, "America's Most Wired City". In the article Why Would I need a Router to Connect to ADSL? an Australian author discusses the use of a router with ADSL to increase online security. Those of you who live in outlying areas not served by Comcast or Click! may find this article pertinent to your situation.
This Month's Potpopuri
We know every article won't appeal to every member so we attempt to cover a wide range of interests in each issue of the newsletter. Besides the Rootkit article which is a followup on one of last month's articles, and one from Down Under on ADSL routers, we have two beginner articles, four more in the Communcations section and two which talk about hardware features. We hope we are hitting the highlights of those areas that are of interest to those of you who make up our membership.
Occasionally we run across an article on subject matter that would not ordinarily come up in our meetings, so we include it to broaden our interest and, hopefully inspire some of you to pursue it further.
