Surf Report vol. 5: News on the Web
Date :
Tue, 29 May 2001 18:04:54 -0400
Hi everyone,
I am the marketing manager for askSam Systems, and I'd like
to welcome you to the Surf Report, our monthly newsletter.
Sorry for the long absence of the Surf Report, but frankly
we were too busy programming software to write it. The good
news is all the hard work has paid off and we've released the
askSam version 4.0.
The Surf Report is now a part of my job, and will become
a monthly occurrence. This issue we'll be writing about News.
Don't know about you, but over the past couple of years my
habits for getting news have changed dramatically. I read more
news on the Web and subscribe to a few newsletters... at the
expense of magazines, newspapers, and TV.
Also in this issue you'll find useful tech tips for askSam
and SurfSaver, plus the latest news on new releases and Beta
release.
Feel free to share this e-mail with anyone who might be
interested, and if you have any thoughts or comments please
e-mail me.
Enjoy, and happy surfing,
Marlinda Bullock
