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! For any
problems encountered, please do not hesitate to contact our Help
