HOW MUCH FAT-TER CAN YOU MAKE YOUR HARD DRIVE?
Want to know how much hard disk space you could regain if you switched to Windows 98 and
converted to the FAT32 file system? (In case you haven't heard the scoop on FAT32, it stores
files on your hard disk in smaller clusters than the older FAT16 file system, resulting in less wasted
space.) Download the FAT32 utility and find out. When the download is complete, extract the
contents of Fat32.exe to your location of choice, then double-click the resulting Fat32win.exe file
to run the utility. Once inside, just select a drive and click Scan.

Chambers, a.k.a. "The Chief" and author of Building a PC for Dummies, his Screwdrivers list is for experts and novices alike who want do it themselves. In other words, "There are no dumb questions."

WEB ACCESSIBILITY

Office buildings have wheelchair ramps, TV has closed captions, but many websites are inaccessible to people with disabilities. It doesn't have to be that way.

If you would like an instant lesson in how inaccessible the Web remains for some, download and install the free trial version of IBM's Home Page Reader, a talking browser (http://www.ibm.com/able/hprtrial25.htm). Use it to get a sense of what it's like to hear the Web rather than see it, and to understand more clearly why many sites flunk the accessibility test.

Visit your own business or personal page with Home Page Reader. Now you can understand. The Web is full of accessibility resources. Here's where to start if you're responsible for a site, or just want ammunition to nudge those in charge of your company's online presence in the right direction:

Try starting at Bobby the accessibility checker at the Center for Applied Special Technology (http://www.cast.org/bobby). Enter your site's URL, and Bobby will give you a good idea of what you need to do to make the pages usable by a screen reader -- the most helpful tool for visually impaired Web surfers.

Another place to visit to make your site more accessible, is the World Wide Web Consortium's Quick Tips to Make Accessible Web Sites (http://www.w3.org/wai/references/quicktips). Or try W3C's Web Accessibility Guidelines (http://www.w3.org/tr/wai-webcontent). You can also download the free utility HTML Tidy (http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy), which is a useful supplement to the checks performed by Bobby.

A bastion of support, information, and reality checks, the HTML Writers Guild's AWARE Center (http://www.awarecenter.org) offers straight-forward Web page coding tutorials and thought-provoking essays, including one on the myths about creating accessible sites (http://www.awarecenter.org/why/myths.html). Myth no. 1: An accessible Web page is dull, boring, plain text.
