E-mail, the computer industry's most rapidly growing application, represents a new frontier in the world of communications. Organizations face a strategic imperative to buy or build robust messaging infrastructures that integrate e-mail and electronic commerce traffic. This strategic imperative is driven by globalization, the emergence of the information economy, and social changes which are in turn driving the "reinvention" of large organizations. This book explores the e-mail markets, both for private e-mail products and public e-mail services, noting how they are following industry and technology trends. It describes e-mail technology and standards, with extensive coverage of LAN e-mail, host e-mail, and e-mail integration environments as well as public e-mail (X.400 and Internet) and directory services. It also provides practical advice to users on strategies for deploying e-mail networks. Highlights discusses the strategic importance of e-mail and electronic commerce to organizations; examines the booming, competitive private messaging marketplace, introducing the key players by market categories; explains X.400, Internet-based public service, and X.500 directory standards and architecture; covers LAN e-mail and e-mail integration backbone products from vendors; discusses EDI, work flow automation, and electronic commerce technologies in the context of e-mail; and advises users on effective organizational and technical e-mail usage and integration strategies.

This treasure-trove of stills and portraits brings to life the pictures and the people who transformed the cinema from a curiosity into a beloved institution. From the earliest Edison kinetoscopes of 1889 to Charlie Chaplin's 'City Lights' and 'Modern Times', the rambunctious, ground-breaking days of the silent era are captured in these pages. All the great stars are here - Greta Garbo, Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, and Lillian Gish, among others. Also included are such brilliant director as Mack Sennett &amp; D.W. Griffith. This year-by-year chronology provides a delightful visual guide to the fondly remembered decades that comprised the silent era. There is a short essay on the films and filmmakers of each year, as well as dozens of photos that constitute a wonderful introduction to, or a nostalgic look back at, the marvelous moving picture of these pioneering times.
