...also unveiled its new "My Calendar" feature, which permits users to keep their datebooks online. The idea is that you won't ever have to be worried about forgetting your datebook at work (or wherever) since it will always be available to you on AOL 's servers. This might work for you, but I don't like Net-based calendars. Computers have revolutionized the way we do just about everything, but I've yet to see an improvement over the pencil-and-paper platform for schedules--it simply takes too long to input stuff on PCs. After all the connecting...
...seems that almost everyone won something from the meeting between Teamster president JAMES P. HOFFA and President BILL CLINTON last Thursday in New York City. Clinton secured Hoffa's backing for HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON's bid for a Senate seat. Hoffa was publicly accepted as a national labor leader--or at least one with whom you could be seen in public. In fact, it was Clinton, not labor, who pushed hard for the invitation. If there was any loser, it was AL GORE.

...live it. Nobody takes the time to do things right. Look at those guys." He indicates three boats that have appeared on the river.

Beware, though: the FDA is warning that pet chews, as they're known, may be contaminated with Salmonella infantis, a bacterium that won't harm man's best friend but can cause vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain in healthy humans--and be life threatening to those with compromised immune systems. What to do? After tossing a chew to Rover, wash your hands thoroughly--and have your kids do the same...
...what's not to like? Apple's iMac is supposedly so well engineered it doesn't need a cooling fan, and the silence truly is golden. But run your hand across the top and it feels, well, hot. Apple swears that the heat--the mortal enemy of microcircuitry--won't fry the computer over time, but it makes me nervous. Also, although the lozenge-shaped mouse has been redesigned somewhat, it's still way too small and has got to go. Fortunately, you can swap it for something more ergonomic. The only real problem with the Mac, frankly, is finding...
