Articles by Alan Zisman 1997
Following the sale of the Vancouver Computer Player to The Computer Paper/Canada Computes ,
I
began
writing three monthly columns: Softwary appeared in the
Vancouver edition only. You Asked Us: PC, responding to
reader technical questions, appeared in both Toronto and Vancouver
editions, and TechTalk appeared in Canadian Computer
Wholesaler. As well, I wrote many other articles, which appeared in
various editions, including in Quebec Micro (in French translation)
My High Tech Office column continued in Business in Vancouver ; 1997 columns
are linked here .
