Abstract: A hard cover for protecting electronic devices is provided. The hard cover includes a horizontally extending planar member, a pair of vertically extending sidewalls, and a pair of horizontally extending flanges. The sidewalls attach to the ends of the planar member to form a central cavity sized and positioned for receiving an electronic device, such as a six-sided portable computer. The flanges extend outwardly from the bottom edges of the sidewalls.

Abstract: A client-based system has a scheduling subsystem to schedule a time to obtain the Web content from the server. When the client reaches the scheduled time, the scheduling subsystem generates an event notification that contains sufficient information explaining how to retrieve the Web content. The client-based system has a delivery subsystem that is responsive to the event notification to obtain the Web content at the time set by the scheduling subsystem. The delivery subsystem preferably has multiple delivery modules that enable different types of distribution mechanism. In addition to the Web content or data itself, the delivery subsystem obtains an index to the Web content. The index summarizes the Web content to facilitate local search and find tasks. The index and Web content are stored in a cache at the client. An indexing subsystem presents the index to a user and enables the user to select from the index portions of the Web content that they prefer.
