That´s why many businesses are using Internet access and virtual private networking (VPN) to connect their remote users to company networks. And by taking advantage of VPN support in Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server, companies like Continental Airlines and online real estate firm eHome have saved money while gaining fast, secure and manageable remote access capabilities.

Fast, brawny 1-GHz, or "one-gig," PCs debut today, but all that power comes at a premium: Many of these systems cost as much as--or more than--a good used car.
Some one-gig PCs will cost as much as $4,500, compared to the average $1,200 most consumers pay for slower systems, according to PC makers.
AMD and Intel hadn´t planned to offer 1-GHz processors until summer, but keeping with an aggressive game of one-upmanship, Intel moved up its release plans. AMD countered by announcing 1-GHz Athlon processors today, two days before Intel´s scheduled unveiling of the 1-GHz Pentium III.
