| Nexterna Dispatches Dispensers
OMAHA, Nebr. -- Nexterna, Inc., a leading provider of wireless Mobile Resource Management solutions, announces Dispenser Services Inc. (DSI) has entered an agreement to deploy the Nexterna Clearview Field Resource Management system. The system will enable DSI to provide better customer service by using real-time GPS to optimize their dispatch process. Dispenser Services is a full service provider of beverage dispensing machines, products and services. DSI installs and services beverage equipment in hospitals, schools, hotels and other institutional accounts. The bulk of Dispenser Services revenue comes from providing coffee, juices and other products dispensed by this equipment. When the equipment doesn't dispense, not only are customers unhappy, but product doesn't get consumed, and therefore, reduces DSI's product revenue.

Virtualize this: The pleasures of a virtual PC
However, you can't create your own VM with Player; to do that, you need VMWare Workstation 6, the feature-laden granddaddy of the category with a price to match (US$189 online after a 30-day trial). Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows and Linux supports a long list of Windows and Linux operating systems and has a free 15-day trial period, after which it costs a reasonable $50. Other virtualization apps include Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, a free download that offers VM support all the way back to Windows 98 and OS/2 Warp (but no Linux), and Symantec's Altiris Software Virtualization Solution 2.1. Whichever app you try, expect to spend a bit of time getting it up and running. Then go out and have a little virtualized fun! .

A Modest Proposal: Get Rid of the Useless Jets
They are the second-most popular NFL team in a baseball/basketball region. They never win anything. They don't bring dollars into New York City. And most important for me, they hold their practices and press conferences far away on Long Island late in the afternoon, during rush hour. I know there are readers out there who are doing the math and thinking: You want one football team and three hockey teams? But each of the hockey teams targets a specific audience. The Devils get points for trying to make a go of it in Newark. Hockey teams play five times as many home games as football teams, so they become more a fabric of their communities. The Jets must go, and I think the bye week would be best. Nobody would notice except Joe Benigno. .
