Dow Jones Newswires -- September 11, 2000 Dow Jones Newswires Network Appliance Introduces New Data Storage Line By JOLYN OKIMOTO Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES PALO ALTO, Calif., -- Network Appliance Inc. (NTAP) introduced Monday a new line of file servers touted to have greater data capacity, accessibility and speed. The new line enables companies to use "larger building blocks" to build their networks, making them easier to manage and expand, said said Mark Santora, senior vice president of marketing for the Sunnyvale, Calif., data-access company. File servers, also known as filers, are hardware used to store, manage and deliver data over corporate computer networks. Network Appliance's new F840c filer has up to 12 terabytes of capacity when used with a version of the company's Data ONTAP software expected to be released in one or two months, said Eric Brown, a spokesman for the company. A terabyte is one thousand gigabytes. That compares with a maximum of 1.5 terabytes in the previous line, which was introduced in 1998, Brown said. The F840 model, also unveiled Monday, has a maximum capacity of 6 terabytes of information. The F840 and F840c models range from $110,700 to $1.1 million, the company said. The new filers are housed in cabinets that take up about 6 square feet of floor space and are about 6 feet tall. EMC Corp. (EMC), a data storage company in Hopkinton, Mass., has a system called the Symmetrix 8000 that supports up to 19.1 terabytes of information and occupies 17.3 square feet of floor space. -Jolyn Okimoto; Dow Jones Newswires; 650 496-1367

OT Cameras for the dad to be. Then I would buy two cameras. A point and shoot 35mm with built in flash and a zoom lense, and a Nikon or Canon "prosumer" model. Start with the point and shoot because you may decide you don't need the bigger camera. (Convenience is key for new moms and dads.) I strongly recommend the Pentax 105G. I bought one this March because I had forgotten my old Canon Z90 (on my way to the Q party in SD, but you may not remember that). I hardly ever bring out my Canon now! The picture quality, focus accuracy, zoom and flash are great for family shots (like babies) and the camera is very convenient and trustworthy. Not too good for landscapes and such. Don't go for the new Advantix film formats if you are going to scan. The S20 doesn't support that negative size. Here is a list of Pentax cameras with the 105G included. pentax.com Here is a great way to shop for the best price: pricewatch.com Of course, you will probably find this camera a Sam's, K-Mart, Walmart, or Costco at a good price. I paid $125, but could have gotten it cheaper online. But time is of the essence for you, ole buddy!
