Bye!
diary, Hi! PDA

Dear Diary,
You
were either handed down or were a sweet gift given by a friend. I
jotted down all my private thoughts on your pages, scrawled the
addresses of my friends was well as a lot of other information. You
served me for a number of years and when it was difficult to find any
more space, your sister took over. This cosy arrangement continued for
a number of years till your stepsister PDA came into the picture. I no
longer experienced the tactile inputs of hand-made paper in which each
page had a different feel. The pleasure of permanent black or royal blue ink, flowing across
the paper was gone too. Life would never be the same again. |

Malaysia

FROM
a Third World country to a knowledge society in under two decades! Is
it possible? Malaysia dreams of it and believes can reach there by
adopting a route that relies on attracting hi-tech and talent,
building its own talent base and setting up the infrastructure that
makes all this possible. This south-east Asian
country of 22.6 million with 83 per cent literacy, which was created in
1963 and has a multi-racial population, is moving over from its
traditional dependence on rubber and tin to IT and knowledge. For
attempting this leap into the unknown, it is using its industrial,
agricultural and petroleum revenues to help make the jump. |

WHAT
does a teacher do when one of the students embarrasses him in front of
the class by correcting the tutor's pronunciation? Either the slighted
teacher snubs the student for correcting him publicly or buys a latest
phonetic thesaurus available in the market to work on the diction. In
some cases, he does both.

PURCHASING
a computer for a common man is not an easy task. An ordinary man wants
to have a PC that can perform tasks at a good speed, including Net
surfing, on which kids can play games and that doesn't pinch the
pocket. The very task of purchasing is, however, confounding.

CHEAP

junket if you're a computer programmer in India. In their tussle to
dominate the emerging industry for Internet-based services, industry
giants Microsoft Corp. and Sun Microsystems are doling out incentives
as they woo programmers worldwide to back their rival software.
