Men tend to be briefer and more utilitarian. A study from a cross-country wedding party illustrates some of this. A bridesmaid compiled e-correspondence into a book. About 90 percent of it was messages among the bride and her bridesmaids - a lot of wedding trivia, but a lot of personal chat, too. But some researchers are finding that e-mail allows men to convey thoughts and feelings they d probably never express aloud or in other ways.
Women add a question, tweak a thread or make things more complicated.
A San Francisco lawyer says she and her fianc find e-mail a good way to handle difficult discussions because it s less confrontational. A recent survey found that security is a key consideration of systems administrators when they consider new storage functions. It is that concern which is addressed by a new product of SecureAgent Software and StorageTek. SuperVision allows system-wide control of data storage and other functions from a central control point. Virtual Storage Manager uses virtual tape technology to free up space in a data center, to eliminate tape cartridges and storage racks and to improve processing and utilization of tape storage.
