WHAT IS WEBWARE?
Webware: This is any application running directly in your browser.
Usually it doesn't require any special installs -- although small
utility downloads may enhance the webware tool. For Ali's webware
recommendation of the week, visit this page:

Becky's Show Notes for February 2, 2001...
************
REFRESH RATE FOR LCD
************
Pete from Knoxville, TN writes "When would I use a 60kz setting vs
a 95 kz setting for my lcd monitor. What's the difference?"
LCDs don't refresh the way CRT or regular Desktop monitors do.
Infact, there is no refresh rate. Even if your display settings
gives you the option to change your refresh rate, it will hav eno
effect for an LCD.
If you want to know how to set the refresh rate on a CRT, check out
this article

FIREWIRE WEBCAM
************
Yurei writes "hey guys..... I have a Canon Ultura Digital Camcorder which is
hooked up to my computer
through firewire can i use my camcorder as my webcam and view it on
realtime???"
So far, it's impossible to set up a video camera with FireWire as a
netcam. You
can work around this problem, though, if you use a video capture
card. This
enables the camera to do the digital-to-analog conversion. Just
make sure that your digital camera has an anaolg out. It will
probably be a small plug that connects to your VCR or TV via an RCA
cable (the white, red, & yellow jacks).

One note, the folks at FreshGear offer this suggestion:
"We found a FireWire netcam from ADS Technologies, the Pyro 1394
Web Cam. The FireWire connection offers a much sharper image than comparable USB
cameras, and at 30 frames per second, the video is almost broadcast quality. The
Pyro 1394 Web Cam costs about $140 and is available now."
************
ONLINE BILL PAYING
************
Jay from Macon, Georgia writes: "Web Bill Pay!!! Is it safe?"
I use an online bill paying service and it's great. They have
secure servers and I trust the service implicitly. I review my
bills online at the end of each month which gives me the same
sense of control I have with regular paper bills- only difference,
I can't lose them.
A few services we suggest: Yahoo Bill Pay and PayMyBills.com
