This week's Online supplement

Thursday means only one thing in Online Towers... another edition of our spanky print supplement.

Today's issue takes some time to cast its eyes back to the height of the dotcom boom. It's exactly five years ago since the Nasdaq peaked, a high water mark that soon turned into a muddy puddle of broken dreams and failed companies. Chris Alden talks to some of the biggest and finds out how they feel five years on.

Elsewhere we take a look at musicians who make music in their bedrooms with the aid of nifty computer technology, how sheltered housing schemes can produce a new generation of silver surfers, and talk to one of Comic Relief's founders, Emma Freud, about how the charity uses the web.

In terms of games, we're previewing the new Nintendo DS ahead of its launch tomorrow, as well as games including WarioWare Touched and Super Mario 64 DS.

Going further Inside IT, we're watching the rise of text messaging for businesses, faster wireless networking, and the latest global e-government rankings.

We've also got comment from Glyn Moody on EU software patents row, Jack Schofield on dual core chips and Michael Cross on technology for truckers.

Phew!

Of course, there's always more, including Ask Jack, your letters, IT news and Web watch.
