...easy to use as household appliances. The best computers at the turn of the millennium combine solid fundamentals (a fast processor, a roomy hard disk and a great screen) with a choice selection of new technologies, like rewritable CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM and digital video editing. DV cameras can output footage to PCs through a single, fast cable called FireWire from Apple and i.LINK from Sony, the two companies that integrate DV editing into their machines. The trick, of course, is to determine which of the new technologies you need or just have to have. No matter what...

And while Digital8 has better resolution and color saturation than Hi8, it requires twice as much tape: a 60-min. Hi8 tape will record only 30 min. of digital video...
...RDAs for many vitamins, including A, B, C and E, as well as nutrients such as iron, by 10% to 80%. The < RDA would also acquire a new name: the Reference Daily Intake, or RDI. (On food labels the RDI would be listed as the Daily Value, or DV.) "By using the old RDAs, you're trying to make the entire population consume more nutrients than it needs," explains John Vanderveen, director of the FDA's nutrition division. "Young males need more nutrients than women, children and the elderly...
