May 1995 / Letters

Integrating Computers in Schools	Andy Reinhardt's article "New Ways to Learn" (March) is an excellent introduction to current computer technology in schools and the possibilities it entails.
Editorializing	I found Rafe Needleman's March Editorial about the Pentium--and life for that matter--to be a great insight on the human learning condition.
8-mm Tape Blunder	Our March Lab Report, "26 Safeguards Against LAN Data Loss" does injustice to Exabyte.
Simplifying WWW Publishing with SGML	In the text box "A Vision for a More Sophisticated HTML" (News & Views, March, page 30), the idea that different browsers support different levels of HTML is just plain crazy.
The Internet Mirrors Society	In the March Commentary "Bosnia On-Line," I was dismayed to see George Bond uncritically swallow Canter and Siegel's self-serving pose as victims of "antibusiness bias.
Putting Pattern Recognition Technology to Work	Edmund DeJesus' February article "Face Values" was interesting and inspiring.
The Pentium FPU Bug Unveiled	Tom Halfhill's "The Truth Behind the Pentium Bug" (March) is the most accurate pi ece I have seen on the subject.
Native-Mode Benchmark Requests	Rick Grehan's March article on BYTE's new native-mode cross-platform benchmark suite was well written, and I look forward to trying it on several of our systems that have our new IDT/Mips R4700 processor.
Vines on the Enterprise	Your February software roundup entitled "Networks for the Enterprise" proposed to deal with the major "enterprise" NOSes (network operating systems), but it did not include an evaluation of Banyan Vines.
BYTE'S Past	I found Jon Udell's February article on NetWare informative, but my interest was piqued when I read that the original server was named Guernsey.
The OS/2 and Windows War	Barry Nance's "Big Blue's Speed Trip" (March) sounded like it was written by a politician.
Why I'm a 20-Year Subscriber	I read a variety of PC magazines but subscribe to only a few.
