 Last
month we attended a computer show in
Chicago. You probably heard about
it....the one where Bill Gates could not
get his Microsoft program to work. Over
the years this show has gotten
increasingly larger. It is hard to take
in all of the new information. But what
is evident to me is that there is room to
grow and develop and to create new ideas.
This technology and information age, that
is upon us, has created a whole new world
for those who are not afraid to dream. We
saw examples of a seamless environment
with computers, which is already
available and which will become common
place in the not to distant future. In
order for all of these visions to take
place, however, we will have to give up
some of our habits of the past. For some
it will be easier than for others. In
accepting these changes, we may stumble
from time to time, as Bill Gates did, but
that just provides us a handhold for
further change. We look forward to
watching and participating in this growth
and change. I hope you will join us. Speaking of change. Have you
had difficulty accessing all of the
wonderful sites on the World Wide Web,
including our two sites, http://www.e-tutor.com and http://www.hi-val.com. We have heard from a few
who have experienced some difficulties.
We apologize for any problems you may
have had and we may have a solution for
you. Many, we have talked to, have not
upgraded their browser in quite some
time. These upgrades are available for
users of Netscape
NavigatorTM and Microsoft®
Internet Explorer. In order to take full
advantage of the constantly changing and
growing World Wide Web and the many fully
interactive sites that are available, we
encourage you to upgrade your browser
frequently.
