03 PopChar X 5.2 fine-tuned fonts
PopChar has been around since almost the beginning of
the Mac. Ergonis Software has done a swell job for frequent
font users, and now had PopChar X 5.2, a new version for
finding and inserting special characters. PopChar X 5.2
focuses on metrics and font size. The most prominent change
is a new slider at the bottom of the PopChar window that
allows you to customize the display size of individual fonts
in addition to the global setting in PopChar s preferences.

10 Internet Discrimination
The Internet, as we have come to know it, is one of the
ultimate forms of democracy and expression of free speech.
However, as soon as we begin creating haves and have-nots
in cyberspace, we turn loose of some of our freedom.
Impending Threat to Technology Growth? Part 1 of 3, is by
Leo Wrobel
