With a second issue of the Internet Business Journal on its way to over 5,00 [sic] readers, Michael Strangelove is turning his attention to a new venture: The Internet Magazine. It's a Canadian-oriented publication (but still quite general), to appear first on newsstands in Quebec and Ontario this October. Six issues/year, $25.

HPC Select News is offering 50% off through 9/17/93. Send a "601" subject line to more@hpcwire.ans.net for details. [9/9/93.] (Full price for professionals is $195/year. I wonder if they can still get that now that they've signed up everyone willing to pay half as much. It's a good supercomputer news service, though, and I like their email interface. Also a good source of HPC job ads.)

American Cybercasting Corp. will email you USA TODAY Decisionline or the Moscow News. You choose which sections you want, at $10.90/year per section or about $80/year for all sections.
