Ham University - Morse Training and Testing
QST Review by Dan Miller November 2001
Actual Morse code lessons are accessed by clicking on (Lessons.¦ You must first put a Lesson Plan together. This is easily accomplished following the directions guided by Morris the Cat˜an animated cat who assists by describing each function the mouse pointer indicates. My favorite method is the (Exercise¦ approach done by copying with the keyboard. What you type is shown in the lower panel. At the end of the exercise, you can compare what you typed with the sent message displayed in the upper panel. Variables that you can manually adjust include speed in words per minute, character speed, message length and word length. In addition to all this, Ham University offers a Morse game called PENTODE. The object is to build a large number of points in a short period of time. These points are received by connecting two or more tiles (the more the better), each containing the same character, as a diode (side by side), triode, tetrode or pentode. Personally, I found the game far less exciting than the speed exercise to copy Morse on the keyboard in the shortest possible time.
Conclusion
Ham University is an excellent tool for anyone wishing to use a computer to study for an Amateur Radio license, regardless of which level they wish to pursue. Of course, my recommendation is to use such a program in conjunction with a class. In the absence of such a class, Ham University provides everything you need to go from ground zero all the way to Amateur Extra+in the comfort of your own living room.
I¦d be remiss in this review if I neglected to mention something else. Displayed at the top of each page of the instruction booklet is a flag of a foreign country. Next to the flag is the appropriate country name, accompanied by its latitude and longitude, CQ Zone number and call sign prefix. This is a very nice touch, adding to the educational and instructional factor of the Ham University program.

AllSync is the professional solution for your data synchronization and backup needs on individual workstations, laptops, or throughout your entire network. AllSync performs synchronization, updating, duplication, archiving and backup of files and directories under Microsoft Windows. It supports all file systems which can be accessed via drive letters or an UNC path. With AllSync you also have the option of previewing the copy operations and adapting them as needed. This ensures that the copy operation goes as you intended. There are a number of preconfigured copy modes available to you for your copy tasks which can be individually adapted as needed. The settings required for a specific copy operation are stored by AllSync in a copy profile. AllSync Scheduler enables you to automatically run your profiles at a specified time. The various filter options offered by AllSync enable entire folders or individual files to be excluded from a copy operation. In the interest of data protection you can have all the files which are deleted or overwritten by a copy operation moved to the Windows Recycle Bin or a separate backup folder.

Take control of the hardware and software on your networks, ensure software license compliance, and provide better support to your end users.
Built using industrial strength MS SQL Server 2000 databases, Enterprise Server provides core functionality and services, for a variety of tightly integrated modules, that allow you to collaborate with co-workers, manage your IT Assets and maintain a help desk to support users both within and outside your organization.
ENT Server was written, from the ground up, using distributed technologies and each of the modules in ENT is designed to be accessible both in an Intranet LAN environment and over slower Wide Area Network (WAN) or Internet connections. The server can be accessed via a web browser or using the windows clients that we have developed for ENT server, via the HTTP protocol, which means that minimal or no special configuration is required in order to use this software over a WAN, where firewalls and routers may exist.
The ENT Inventory module for ENT Server can be accessed using our windows client, (ENT NetCenter), which includes a number of advanced network auditing capabilities. Using ENT NetCenter you can remotely collect detailed hardware and software information about the machines on the networks that you manage and post this information automatically to your ENT Inventory. This audit process makes uses a service called WMI, which is built into the Windows operating system, so you don't have to deploy any software on remote machines to be able to audit these. Additionally, communication with remote machines is made using the HTTP protocol, so little or no special configuration is required in order to audit machines over a WAN, where firewalls and routers may exist.
Machines which are not connected to the network can also be audited using EntAudit.exe, a command line auditing utility that is provided with ENT NetCenter.

Erase your tracks.
MyPrivacy, a new free software from Omniquad is a privacy tool that helps you maintain your privacy by cleaning up all traces of your Internet and PC activities. It helps you erase data you may have entered like personal information in online forms, Urls in your browser address bar, files you searched for, etc. Data that otherwise would be exposed to other users of your computer. It also helps you clear the files from both the Temp & the Temporary Internet Explorer folders.
Preserve your privacy.
Your Windows PC and Internet Explorer Browser have several helpful features that help make your computing experience easier. Windows lists the recently viewed files so that you can re access them easily. To make your Internet experience more hassle free, Internet Explorer prompts you with previously used entries while you fill a form online. It remembers previously visited websites and displays them all on a drop down menu each time you try to type something new in the address bar.
But the price you pay for these features is a lack of privacy. Anybody who has access to your computer can pry into what you were doing both on your system and online.
The documents you worked on, the images you viewed, the applications you used, the websites you visited, even the files or text you searched for ? all these details are exposed for any one interested enough.
Clean up your act.
MyPrivacy lets you do routine tasks to maintain your privacy like cleaning up the AutoComplete & IE histories, deleting Temp & temporary internet files, managing cookies, clearing the lists of recently used files, etc from one location.
You can use this to clear up the Windows Run, Find Files, Search Text, Media Player Recent File and URL list menus. In addition it lets you disable AutoComplete & AutoSuggest options. There is an option to configure the Windows Media Player not to display the list of recently accessed files.
