Trevor: It was your first time in Australia, wasn't it? Pat:

Oh, yes!

It's an amazing country! Their summers are in winter. Australian animals are pretty funny. Their bears live in trees and are vegetarians.

Trevor: They are probably kept as pets.

Trevor: And what Pat:

are your first impressions of Australia?

Pat: No. The Australians keep duckbills as pets.

Trevor: What's a duckbill?

Pat: A duckbill is a mammal that lives in the water, lays eggs, has a duck's bill and sings like a nightingale. Trevor: Something like 'get three for the price of one'! Pat: Exactly. And Australia has the biggest grasshoppers in the world.

Trevor: Really? What are they called? Pat:

Kangaroos. The Australians hunt them with boomerangs.

That's why male kangaroos are called 'boomers' in

Australian slang.

Trevor: What's a boomerang? Pat: It's a kind of a coat hanger. You throw it away and

it comes back.

Trevor: What language do the Australians speak? Pat: Their own variety of English. Australian English is spoken

all over the country.

Trevor: Is Australian English different from British English? Pat:

Mmm Yes, as different as British English from American At least it's easy to understand. In Australia

English. The basic language is the same but the accent is different and some words and phrases are different.

someone who is not particularly smart 'doesn't have enough brains to give himself a headache' or is 'lamb-brained'.

Trevor: Pretty straightforward, isn't it? Are you going to write an article about Australia today?

1. For the last generation, Silicon Valley and Tokyo have been working to design computers that are ever easier to use. There is one thing, however, that has prevented the machines from becoming their user-friendliest: you still have to input data with a keyboard, and that can require you to do a lot of typing and to memorize a lot of elaborate commands.

2. Enter the clipboard computer, a technology that has been in development for the last 20 years but took hold in the mass market only in 1993. Clipboard PCs – which, as their name suggests, are not much bigger that an actual clipboard – replace the keyboard with a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and an electronic stylus. Users input data by printing individual letters directly on the screen. There are two technologies at work in a clipboard PC: one allows raw data to get into the computer to figure out what data means. The first technology relies principally on hardware and varies depending on the particular computer. In one system, marketed under the name GRIDPad, the computer’s LCD screen is covered with a transparent conductive coating. Voltage is sent across the glass in horizontal and vertical lines forming a fine grid, the voltage is slightly different. When the stylus – which is essentially a voltmeter- touches the screen, it informs the computer of the voltage at that point. The computer uses this information to determine where the stylus is and causes a liquid crystal pixel to appear at those coordinates. The position of the stylus is monitored several hundred times a second, so as the stylus moves across the glass, whole strings of pixels are activated.
