All present and high-tech

Article Abstract:

The 1998 Christmas season was symbolic of the presence of high technology times in the 1990s. Computer stores have products for every age group and their prices are well within everyone's budget. Personal organizers start at around $20. Computers three to four times faster than last year's models are affordable and would make suitable gifts for anyone.

Article Abstract:

About 2 million Australians own shares directly, and almost everyone has managed funds directly or through superannuation. Eventually, these investors will seek more control over their investments and lower fees through the Internet. Most investing sites charge as much as $29 for a $10,000 share trade. E*Trade and others charge as little as 0.1%.
