|
CityTouch is
|
a new multi-option
item on Intranet Home Page |
|
a collection of
on-campus and off-campus news Web sites which provide a common
starting point to know what is going on in our University,
Hong Kong and the world |
|
a Web page where
you can read newspapers, listen to current radio news and
watch real-time Cable News Channels simply by pointing and
clicking. |
|
For
instance, Campus News brings you all kinds of University Messages
including Announcements, Events, Press Clippings, etc. Newsletter
contains links to University publication such as University
Bulletin and Linkage as well as links to newsletters of various
departments. Radio directs you to the News Update of Radio
Hong Kong where you can listen to the most up-to-date news.
TV tunes your PC to CNN, BBC World, Cable News or channels
alike and you can watch those news programs with your desktop
networked PC.
All sounds attractive? However,
to enable your PC to speak and play the AV signals,
you need to equip your PC with the followings:
- a sound card
- a pair of speakers
- RealPlayer program (automatically
installed with Netscape 4.5 for departmental networked
PCs)
- Windows Media Player (automatically
installed the first time you use TV).

In addition, reading
Chinese newspapers under English Windows 95/98 requires
the running of a Chinese Enabling System like RichWin, TwinBridge
or UnionWay.
Lets go and try it out!
