Pentium rules!
Article Abstract:
Intel produces its own system boards using the Pentium chip. Intel forecasts shipment of 15 million system boards in 1995, and it is currently producing over one million each month. In the past, Intel sold the bare chips to vendors who used them in their own boards or to third parties who created system boards. The Intel boards offer reasonable prices, standardization and good quality. The downside is that third-party manufacturers will not be able to compete and will go out of business. The survivors will have to differentiate their products by adding SCSI-3 or Ethernet capabilities. Intel's own products are not infallible as the Triton chip set's lack of RAM parity checking proves. Intel will give the next version of Triton the ability to ensure that data in the memory is not corrupt. Intel also plans to put its forthcoming P6 microprocessor on a system board. In the meantime, falling prices make Pentium systems worth the small price differential.

Excuse me, but which way to the Internet?
Article Abstract:
Lawyers logged onto the Internet or World Wide Web can gain access to a wealth of information services, many of which provide hypertext links to additional information or other sites. The FedWorld Information Network at http: www.fedworld.gov is the bulkiest of the sites and contains everything related to government legal resources available on the Internet, as well as the full text of congressional bills. The National Federation of Paralegal Associations at http: www.paralegals.org supplies career planning and development information as well as an events schedule of interest to legal professionals. Various law schools maintain their own Web sites for legal researchers and discussion forums. Those interested in Canadian law can check out Alan Gahtan's Legal Resources on the Internet at http: www.io.org ^agahtan master.htm.
