Hamburg - The tie between England and Germany at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin may be the most high-profile international friendly on this week but much attention will also be on Diego Maradona's Argentina, who take on Scotland in his first match in charge.

Maradona arrived in Scotland to a hero's welcome at the weekend with Scottish fans clambering for autographs, many clutching a picture of his "hand of God" goal against England in the 1986 World Cup.

Berlin - Another chapter in one of the oldest rivalries in international football will be written this week as England and Germany lock horns in an international friendly in Berlin on Wednesday.

The two nations, whose histories are inextricably linked by the 1966 World Cup final, won by England on home soil, have met 26 times in all, including the period when Germany played as West Germany.

Of those, England have won 11, the Germans have won 10 and there have been five draws.

Bonn, Germany  - Home PC hard drives tend to be huge. That does not help much when you need spontaneous access to documents or photos while out and about. One option is an external hard drive or memory stick, but that means more devices to be carried along.

The alternative, these days, is web hard drives - personal storage space on the internet that can be accessed from almost any computer. The services are easy to use, although the uploading of data often requires a heft chunk of time. Security should be taken into consideration as well.

Hanover, Germany - Most current generation anti-virus programs are greatly improved over their earlier counterparts, experts say.

This applies in particular to their ability to use heuristic methods of recognizing and disarming previously unknown viruses, the Hanover-based computer magazine c't concluded after a test of 10 programs.

Most programs now offer good protection against spyware. Yet, the programs are also increasingly prone to issuing false alarms, such as when they classify newly installed software as malicious.

Hamburg  - Flat screen displays for gaming PCs might not be ready for prime time yet, but they're not far off, either, according to a recent test by Computer Bild Spiele magazine.

The Hamburg-based periodical put six 22- to 24-inch monitors through their paces. One of the 24-inchers earned a score of "good"; the rest achieved only "satisfactory."

The test winner was the Samsung Sync Master 2493HM, which the testers saw as having a high image contrast, good anti-reflection characteristics and very good colour fidelity.

Hamburg - Bayer Leverkusen downed Schalke 2-1 to stay top of the Bundesliga on Saturday, while Bayern Munich lost ground after conceding two late goals in a 2-2 draw at Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Hoffenheim meanwhile stayed second, level on 28 points with Leverkusen but with a slightly inferior goal difference after edging Wolfsburg 3-2.

Bayern were left three points behind in third place after they were hit by two late goals in two minutes at lowly Moenchengladbach.

Luca Toni and Franck Ribery from the penalty spot had given the defending champions the lead but headers from Canadian striker Rob Friend and US midfielder Michael Bradley in the 79th and 81st minutes prevented Juergen Klinsmann's side from posting a sixth straight win.
