Hawkins' strategy is to stay just ahead of his competitors -- whether they are PCs, CD-ROMs or video-game systems. So his next project is a plug-in device called the M2 that turns the 32-bit 3DO into a 64-bit system -- yet still plays all the old software. That's if he makes it through Christmas...
Then again, it should only be fitting that Bettman pull the plug on the season since it was his idea to start the lockout anyway...
Finally, I'd like to make a plug for a rather unusual recording of the Sibelius concerto on the Swedish label Bis by Leonidas Kavakos, Osmo Vinski, and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra.

Japan has been building up its research capabilities for years, and it is being joined by the so-called Tigers of Asia -- Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. They are collectively plowing billions of dollars earned selling cars and computer parts into their technical universities and research institutes. Their goal is an ambitious one: first to catch up in scientific fields pioneered by the West, then to dominate...
