Milt
Hull in the News
Milt has been in the News in several forms over the
years. Below are just a few from the Sacramento Bee...
BIG BANKS RULE THE WEB
MAJOR INSTITUTIONS LOADED WITH MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS SWAMP
START-UPS
- Published on April 30, 2000, Page H1, Article 1 of 9 found,
1144 words.
Milt Hull used to lug his papers to his car, drive to his bank and
then wait in line just to make a deposit, cash a check or do other
routine banking transactions. That, says the Sacramento resident, was
frustrating. But fortunately for him, those days are gone. These days,
Hull goes to his computer and logs onto his banking Web site. A few
clicks with a mouse and his bills are paid. A few more clicks, and
money is transferred between his accounts. Investment analysts once
figured that people such a

COMDEX IS A SORT OF PC PARADISE
ANNUAL EXHIBITION'S POPULARITY EXPLODED
- Published on November 14, 1999, Page E1, Article 2 of 9 found,
732 words.
To show how far Comdex has come in the last 20 years, one needs
only to recall that Bill Gates' father ran the slide projector at the
Microsoft founder's keynote address in 1983. These days, Gates' annual
keynote in Las Vegas is a multimedia extravaganza, run by legions of
technicians and attended by thousands of devotees who've lined up
hours before this evening's start. And that reflects the overwhelming
spectacle that the nation's largest trade show has become. With more
than 200,000 at

CHERNOBYL VIRUS DOES LITTLE HARM
PROBLEM NOT WIDESPREAD AS FEARED
- Published on April 27, 1999, Page E2, Article 3 of 9 found,
496 words.
The Chernobyl computer virus, which was predicted to wreak havoc
nationwide Monday, apparently caused very little trouble. In
Sacramento, computer experts reacted with a shrug when asked of the
effects of the virus. And the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT)
at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, which monitors computer
viruses, said it had only received reports of 37 computer infections,
compared with more than 100,000 for last month's Melissa virus. CERT

INTERNET PIONEER'S WORK WILL CONTINUE
POSTEL BEGAN COMPLEX TRANSITION EFFORT
- Published on October 21, 1998, Page G3, Article 4 of 9 found,
564 words.
The unexpected death last Friday of Internet pioneer Jon Postel
likely will not seriously hamper efforts to hand control of Internet
administration from the federal government to a nonprofit corporation.
Postel, widely regarded as one of the Internet's most influential
founding fathers, died suddenly last Friday from heart surgery
complications. He was 55. As director of the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA), Postel helped oversee the complex system of Internet
addresses and domain na

MICROSOFT'S SUBDUED PITCH
WINDOWS 98 LACKS HYPE, BUT NOT BELLS AND WHISTLES
- Published on March 11, 1998, Page G1, Article 5 of 9 found,
1164 words.
If you think Microsoft is everywhere these days, just wait.
Sometime between April and June - Microsoft won't say exactly when -
the company plans to launch its long-awaited Windows 98 computer
operating system. The software has big shoes to fill. Its predecessor,
Windows 95, is the path-breaking operating system found under the hood
of most personal computers in the United States these days. Anybody
who remembers the hoopla surrounding the launch of Windows 95 - the
midnight lines at the loc

PC VIRUS TO EXPLODE THURSDAY
- Published on August 21, 1996, Page D1, Article 6 of 9 found,
688 words.
In the world of computer viruses, Michelangelo might be old news
but his cousin is poised to wipe out the contents of an undetermined
number of PC hard drives around the world on Thursday. Dubbed the Hare
(as in Hare Krishna) virus, the stealthy computer program has been
spreading primarily via the Internet since July, experts say, and is
designed to detonate on Aug. 22, destroying all the data on the hard
drives of IBM-compatible PCs. Macintosh computers are not affected.

TWO PATHS FOR MULTIMEDIA MAVENS
WHETHER UPGRADING OR BUYING NEW EQUIPMENT, CERTAIN FEATURES ARE A
MUST
- Published on November 4, 1993, Page E2, Article 7 of 9 found,
704 words.
So you're ready to join the multimedia world. There are basically
two routes you can go. You can buy a multimedia upgrade kit, which you
can use to turn your existing personal computer into a multimedia
machine. Or you can buy a computer already configured for multimedia.
If you already have a computer with a 486-type chip, the first option
may be the cheapest, but perhaps the most frustrating. Making sure
that all the pieces work well together can be difficult, according to

MICROSOFT COURTS SACRAMENTO'S PC FAITHFUL
- Published on March 29, 1993, Page C5, Article 9 of 9 found,
572 words.
Software behemoth Microsoft may be feared as the 800-pound gorilla
of the industry. But even the lord of the jungle pays attention to
Sacramento. When company founder Bill Gates rolls out his newest
operating system at a San Francisco extravaganza Tuesday, his boyish
visage will be beamed via satellite to a crowd at the Sacramento
Community Center Theater - courtesy of Gates' bulging wallet. The
reason for Microsoft's interest in Sacramento? It's the Sacramento PC
Users Group, which is one o
