WILL HACKERS MAKE A FOOL OF LARRY ELLISON?

    Larry says his company's new e-mail server--intended
         to replace Microsoft Exchange--is "unbreakable."
         But is anything bulletproof if the bad guys
         really want to bring it down? I don't think
         so. But never mind me. If the bad guys don't
         think so, Larry's bravado could be setting
         up his company and his customers for hardship
         and humiliation.

   David's mission: Work from Comdex using only
         his Compaq iPaq and wireless Net connection.
         The result? Well, let's just say he hasn't
         trashed his notebook computer yet. Find out
         what the handheld could handle and what it
         couldn't in his report.

  SOUND

   Hand-lettered labels and jewel cases just
         don't cut it. If you're gonna take the time

         them up in professional-looking garb. Preston
         find three downloads that deck out your CD
         cases with photos, colorful backgrounds,
         and funky fonts.
