Dear l\ilr. Baker,

My apologies for the late reply as I was away from the office to attend the WSC (World lnternet Security
Conference) in New York.

With regard to your proposal 0f a possible collaboration between Security Systems and SafeNet t0 co-develop
a new lnternet security product, I find it somewhat interesting. The reason is because, as you may well know,
SafeNet is a company that specializes in lnternet security appliances, especially in the area of firewall applications,
and we are currently looking for some new technology that could add to our protection on a network level.
Therefore, lwas glad to receive an email message from you. I know that with lntemet security protection 0n both
the application and network level, we could introduce a phenomenal product by w0rking together.

After talking to some 0f my colleagues, I learned that Security Systems has done some outstanding research
and development in the area of lnternet security on the netw0rk level, especially in host prevention systems. We
currently have a working relationship with a vendor doing similar protection systems on Linux-based systems. This
does not necessarily imply that we cannot work together with Security Systems. ln fact, if everything worlG out, we
are more than willing to switch over and let you handle all the work in the future.

Please send me a roadmap of our product development, a business proposalwith details 0f possible collaboration,
and also full product details with technical specificati0ns and a brochure to start with,

l'm looking fon ,ard to your reply.

Ouestions 181-185 rerer to the following announcement and e-mail message.

illorse in Franklin

The Franklin Museum of Telegraphy in Philadelphia will present an exhibition on the

li{e and invention of Samuel Flnley Breese Morse, the inventor of Morse code. ln those
days, the transmitting of in{ormation using short signals or binary code was impossible.
Samuel F. B. Morse's invention brought about the enhancement of telegraphs, the further
development o{ binary code, and the adoption of electromagnetism into this transmission
technology.

Models of the first telegraph and the early days of the electrical telegraph will be displayed
at the exhibition. Portraits and paintings of historic scenes by Samuel F. B. Morse will be
on display as well. We will be giving free demonstrations of Morse code transmission and
providing a full explanation of the development of binary code. We will also be giving out
small booklets on Morse code to children to understand Morse code in a fun way.

There will also be some film clips and talks that will give visitors a deeper understanding
of Morse's life. lt will be shown to visitors at the end of the tour so that everyone can fully
grasp the meaning of the exhibition.

The exhibition will commence from May 1 through July 30 at the Franklin Museum of
Telegraphy. Tickets are available at $20 for adults, $10 for children below the age of 12,
and a group rate of $'100 for '10 or more people. Children below the age of 5 get in for
free. Please contact us at Morse@franklin.org for further inquiries.

Dear Franklin Museum,

A group of 12 pe0ple, including my family and friends, is looking foMard to visiting the l\,4orse
exhibition. However, I was wondering if the exhibition is handicapped friendly and provides easy
access to wheelchairbound people like my brother, We also have a friend from China who is
visiting us and will come along to the exhibition. He is not very familiar with the English language
and American culture. May I ask if there are brochures or explanation materials in languages
other than English? Are translations provided during the video clips and talks as well?

Thank you,

Ben Hawkins

Adventurer's Camping Equipment

New York, NY 10025

Dear Adventurer's Camping Equipment,

I went to the lrvine store located on Hanison Street last Friday after I saw lhe sales ad on the paper
and was hoping to pick up some items for my summer camping trip. (l have attached the ad to verify
the validity of the sales promotion on a nationwide level.) lwanted to spend some time shopping at
your store, so I left my office early. But to my dismay, instead of a wonderful shopping experience, I
found the promotion ad not entirely valid and a poor customer service store attendant.

From the printed ad, I was led to believe that every item in the store was 20% off the regular price.
Unfortunately, I discovered that items that were on discount applied only to those that were labeled
with a "SALE'sticker in the store. ln this case, not more than ten ilems were on sale. lthought this
contradicted to the ad published. I therefore challenged the store attendant with a copy of the ad I
had brought. To my surprise, I was told that the discount on all items was not applicable to the store
on Harrison Street. I was then referred to the store manager after insisting that the ad mentioned a
nationwide sale. The manager did not bother to resolve the issue but insisted, with a very unwilling
attitude, that the ad was a mistake! I left the store fuming without a single purchase.

I have been a faithful customer of your store for a very long time, but the experienc€ I had, along
with my encounter with the staff at the store on Harrison Street, is just not acceptable.

To Mr Vincent,

I have been a faithful reader of "lT's lT Technology Review" every week, and I want to voice my disagreemenl about
the Smartech T20i printed in your last issue. I received the T20i as a gift two months ago. I must say il really is an
expensive giftl I would not have bought it for my own usage had it not been given to me as a gift. I think it ls overpriced!

I must, however, agree that the device does quite an aMul lot for its size. As a technical user, I still find some limitations
of the T20i. The pictures I took were fantastically clear and crisp with its 8 megapixels. However, it does not have lhe
anti-shake feature which is present in most standard digital cameras. I am not able t0 take any pictures as long as I am
in motion, and I mean even the slightest movement. The cable connection interface to the computer is really unstable.
I was trying t0 connect my T20i for more than an hour just to download one picture! The connection was intermittent

with an unslable connection. For the price you must pay to get the T20i, I would not recommend buying it personally.
