Subject: Announcing First Issue of ACM TechNews

Dear ACM Member,

We know you are faced with  the nearly impossible challenge of keeping up
to date  with the flow  of IT  information available from  numerous media
channels. In response to this  challenge, ACM has created a comprehensive
news gathering,  scanning and  digesting service  that provides  you with
concise coverage of  those IT stories we think should  be brought to your
attention regardless of where you live  and work. This helpful service is
sponsored by Gateway.

ACM TechNews will be published 3 times  a week. You will receive an alert
via email, listing the Table of Contents of the current issue of the news
brief,  as a  member  benefit.  You'll receive  only  the  titles of  the
stories, along with URLs for the complete stories.

If you'd like to unsubscribe from this service, see below for details.
