PON to get on-line computer

JAKARTA (JP): The XIV National Games (PON) here next year will
have an on-line computer system to ease the compiling of results,
programs and other hectic tasks at the national sports gathering.

One of the features in the PON on-line system is that it will
be connected to electronic public display boards, which will also
carry advertisements, during the Games.

The on-line system will be hooked up to Internet providers in
Indonesia, in order to allow Indonesians and all parts of the
world to observe the Games and follow the results of all events.

"Compaq is privileged to be the products sponsor of this
important national sports event," said Compag Computer Asia
General Manager Ramada Sivadas during the signing of a memorandum
of understanding between Compaq and PT Baskara Sistemindo
yesterday. Witnessing the event was general-secretary of PON XIV
OC Eddy Widodo representing Chief Executive R. S. Moeseno.

At the Games, Compaq will provide advanced computer equipment
featuring 60 Compaq ProLinea 575E to be used at 35 sports events.
