Many nonprofit organizations struggle, quite understandably,
with technology planning and investment. New computers,
sophisticated Websites and database systems can be expensive.
Staff members may be resistant to change and to learning new
applications.
But, to quote a famous saying from my homeland: "penny wise can

We looked at Number Systems and counting (see It's a Binary
World - How Computers Count) last time. As a quick refresher, we
saw that computers are made up of many units of 0 and 1, the
binary system. 1 is the highest digit possible so numbers in the
computer are stored as for example 1010 or 10 in decimal. We
also saw that these binary numbers can be seen as octal (8) or
hexadecimal (16) numbers - in this case 1010 becomes 15 octal,
or A hex.
You probably realise that the 'standard' PC code is ...

The word 'computer' originally implied a person, who, under

One can discern the following relationships between the Law and
Technology:
1. Sometimes technology becomes an inseparable part of the law.
In extreme cases, technology itself becomes the law. The use of
polygraphs, faxes, telephones, video, audio and computers is an
integral part of many laws - etched into them. It is not an

the law and forms a CONDITION within it. In other words: the
very spirit and letter of the law is ...
