This Week In BreakAway:

NOW PLAYING
Toying with technology is fun at any age:
The convergence of high-tech and big fun has become such big business that at the American International Toy Fair, held last month in New York, even chipmaker Intel had a booth.

RUNNING ON EMPTY
Online purchase shapes up to be exercise in frustration:
Deliverymen who can't go up stairs can be a problem.

COMPUTER-GENERATED ACTORS
Ready for their closeups:
For a clear example of technology closing the gap between reality and fantasy, check the site Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (finalfantasy.com).

OPEN BOOK
Exaggeration and excess on a scale readers can admire:
A Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is published around the time the PC is born. The book itself was written some 15 to 18 years earlier--no one is quite sure of the dates--and the author committed suicide more than a decade before it went to print.

TAKING $TOCK
The Wonderful Wizard of B-to-B Integration
Long-term prospects for webMethods look excellent.
