Just as the fax revolutionized the way we communicate, so has electronic communication via the Internet. The World Wide Web, enabled by NCSA Mosaic and similar browser technologies, allows information in a variety of formats to be accessed and processed by users of all levels. Modern companies will inevitably be drawn into this exciting new medium both through the desire to disseminate their information via the Web and through the need to access the incredible resources available. DCI is pleased to sponsor this premier three day industry conference. Chaired by Dr. Jay C. Weber, Director of Research and Development at EIT Corporation, the conference will show you how your business can use Web technology to gain a competitive edge. You will learn how to find what is available, get a jump on how to build your own Web applications, and let people know you are there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1158: Sun Video link: Connect Sun Monitor/Keyboard over UTP cable BUSINESS SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL are pleased to announce the immediate availability of "Sun Video Link".

"SunFlash" is the continuation of that journal. When "SunFlash" grew to about 100 articles per month, 140,000+ subscribers and 30,000+ article requests per month I decided that it was time to make some changes. For a variety of reasons, I started the two new journals, "The Sun FlashBack" and "The Internet Sun FlashBack" , and moved production of all three journals to an independent company with its own resouces and Internet domain (FlashBack.COM). My goal, as always, is to provide useful, timely, high-quality information to the Sun user community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9002: FlashBack and SunFlash Index This article contains a one line index entry for each of the articles posted to the electronic journals that I edit and publish: "SunFlash" , "The Sun FlashBack" and "The Internet Sun FlashBack" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You may send for any of these articles by sending mail to FlashBack@FlashBack.COM.
