VirtualCourthouse November
1997; Issue 2.9 A Review Time flies when you're having fun -- and technology falls into that
category. Enthusiasm soars when the idea light comes on. So many tasks become
easier. The virtual courthouse is coming closer to reality. It is time for a review this month. No test is on the horizon -- so relax.
Over the past year, we have covered a lot of ground. All prior articles are
accessible on the Internet -- yes it's time to connect. What you will find below is a series of webpage links. If you are still
living in a paper world, the links will not be as helpful as they will be in
the electronic world. In the paper world, you will make a photocopy of this
article, if you think it will be useful in the future. Then you will file the
photocopy in one or more files and hope you or your secretary will be able to
find it one day in the future. How many times have you said to your assistant
"Remember that article on webpage links -- where did we file it?" However, in the electronic world you will merely double click your mouse on
the web address and voila you have that webpage on your
computer screen. If you want to save the webpage address, you merely click you
mouse on "Add Bookmark." Then in your bookmark file you create
subtopics for your own filing system. The hotlink is created through the
marking ability of HTML -- Hyptertext markup language. Before we go to the Review, let's go through some of your Bar Association's
Webpages. As I have said before in this column, Don Patterson deserves 10 gold
stars in his column for starting up the Webpage at no cost to the Bar
Association. Next time you see Don, give him a great big THANK YOU!! Better
yet, employ him to develop your webpage. Call him at 301-449-1200. Some Bar Association Webpage links: President Sam DeBlasis' Message
