Hubba Bubba Chewing Bunnies - They Glow
---------------------------------------
Welcome Back Notified Ones!
Several weeks after N+I in Atlanta and I'm still scratching my
head. Shows are a great way to learn about new products hitting
the streets, and to play with some of the latest tools. Yet,
one must ask -- what is it with a trade show that makes some
vendors lose their mind? Two issues to consider. Spiffs and
bunnies.
You know, spiffs. All those goodies that vendors bring to the
shows to try and lure you into their booth. Unfortunately, it
seems that some vendors just don't understand the value of
time.
Networking professionals go to the shows to learn about new
products. Are spiffs a good thing? Sure. Offering a cool spiff
or a contest is a great way to get people into the booths to
watch the latest product demo. Exactly who thinks of these
things though? Here's a tip for the vendors - buy a new barrel
and stop scrapping at the bottom of your old one. I mean, if
you're going to offer spiffs, at least come up with something
better than a glow in the dark button. One vendor decided to
give out toe-nail clippers. Sure, they're useful and all, and
maybe it's just me, but there's something kinda funky about
giving out toe-nail clippers. It just seems, well, ummm, gross.
Then we get to the bunnies. They'll try to lure you into the
demos, ram literature (and other foreign objects) in your face,
and generally just stand around trying to look pretty. Although
there are exceptions, most bunnies have the collective
intelligence of a snow pea.
Being a bunny is a tough job though. Certified with St. Johns
Ambulance, I decided to put my emergency first aid skills to
good use by offering a bit of advice. Cassandra, a bunny at one
booth, appeared to be in serious danger. The poor girl had to
stand around all day, with her chest pushed out to the other
side of the conference center - now that can't be good for your
back. So, being the nice guy I am, I rushed to her side. Psst,
Cassandra, you know you're going to destroy your back doing
that. While chomping on what appeared to be a full pack of
Hubba Bubba, she asks - "Doing what?" Sighing, I hand her the
glow in the dark button and walk off into the sunset. Hey,
maybe the glow will shed some light on a few things.
Oh well, enough babbling.

NT 4.0 Users - Consider Yourself Warned
---------------------------------------
Users of NT 4.0 Server and Workstation, a word to the wise.
Do NOT run the ROLLBACK.EXE utility. This utility was
designed to help OEMs to preinstall NT 4.0, and to allow
end-users to perform final configuration according to the
desired role of the computer. By running this utility, you
will undo all configuration completed within the GUI portion
of the Windows NT Setup. There is no way to recover any
information deleted by this utility.

Cutting Your Spam Intake - From the Editors of NetNotify
--------------------------------------------------------
If you've been hit by unsolicited advertisements in the
past, you are more than likely familiar with the workings of
Cyber Promotions (cyberpromo.com). The gang at Cyber
Promotions recently issued a statement to inform the
Internet community of their alleged good intents, and their
"desire" to ensure that no one receives advertisements they
don't want. Within this statement, they provided
instructions on how you can add your email addresses to
their master "REMOVE" list, ensuring that you no longer
receive unsolicited ads from them. For your benefit, we have
included the two options below.
1. You can send an email to mailto:remove@cyberpromo.com
and type "REMOVE ALL" in the subject or message field.
2. You may also send an email to
mailto:manremove@cyberpromo.com and type as many email
addresses as you wish in the body of the message, each on
its own line, without any comments.

four new reviews are now available. At present, reviews are

not only will you be able to read them through the web, but
you'll be able to request copies - through email - for
automatic deliver.

The Winners Circle - Current Contests
=====================================
From the contests in our past edition, we have some winners
to announce!
First, the BDU Awards contest. Judging this contest was a
tough one for our team. So many funny entries to choose
from. Trying to pick just one was impossible - there was a
tie for first. Instead of just drawing one of the two names
out of a hat, we have two winners this time. Charles Rose
for his story about the Labrador puppy chewing through the
network cabling, and Frank Pietersen, for his story of the
file servers that weren't just down - they were stolen!
Second, the contest for a free 3 month subscription to
Novell's Support Encyclopedia. There were many entries, but
there can only be one winner. That winner is <drum roll
please> - Marie James of Pomona, CA.
