Since the beginning of time, nobody has seen an industry grow as
quickly as the Internet, save perhaps David Hasselhoff's European
music career. As the net continues its growth, largely unregulated,
many grass roots community groups, government institutions and concerned
citizens are crying "Wolf!" over net personal rights violations.
In this issue of Anvil, we're going to take a look at Internet security
and privacy. What are your rights as a consumer? Marketer? Pedophile?
How safe is your credit card number online? We may actually decide
to answer a few of these questions. If you aren't 100 percent satisfied
with the contents, we will give you a full refund.

In the last issue of Anvil, we explored many of the technology issues
facing us in the coming Millennium. In this issue, we will explore
one of these issues close to hearts of 99 percent of the U.S. population:
television. Specifically, the Federally-mandated transition from
analog television to digital television (DTV). If you don't know
about DTV now, you will shortly. Digital will allow theater quality
picture and sound, including high definition (HD) and interactive
television. If you ignore it long enough, you could be literally
left in the dark early in the next decade. After perusing this issue,
you will know how the digital revolution with affect you and what
you can do about it.

Multimedia. It's the catchphrase of the 90's. But what is it? In
this case, we're not referring to a group of reporters or where
artwork is created, rather we're talking about electronic media.
Most of us have a basic idea of what electronic media means today:
audio and video in some sort of combined presentation. In the days
before the Web, multimedia was confined to CD-ROMs and video games.
With the advancement of bandwidth, standards and technologies, multimedia
has exploded on the Web, from interactive games to banner advertising.
In this issue of Anvil, we will explore the many facets of modern
multimedia.

As the new Millennium draws near, most of us are thinking "Am
I really going to party like it's 1999?" The answer, unfortunately,
is no. For many technologists, 2000 is Armageddon, as embedded systems
must be modified before they crash. For the remaining population,
ignorance is not bliss. In this issue, Anvil takes a look at the
Year 2000 Bug or "Y2K."
