Dear Yoshiyasu,

   We've noticed that you haven't been on SUPERNET INT'L in some time,
and we'd like to invite you back to the service.
There are some exciting new features on SUPERNET INT'L, the free worldwide
service for the high-performance computing community. Here's just some of what
you've been missing:

** Benchmarks. In our Trade Show section, SUPERNET INT'L will carry the
   industry's leading benchmarks -- including benchmark files, results and
   update reports -- beginning with the widely respected LINPACK benchmark.
** Trade Show. This comprehensive buyers' guide provides information on the
   leading vendors in high-performance computing. This exclusive service
   allows you to search the Trade Show by keyword(s), and even lets you
   request more information directly from vendors.
** Expanded Editorial. The editorial department of Supercomputing Review
   magazine has moved to SUPERNET INT'L, which means more daily news, witty
   and insightful industry analysis from Editor at Large Norris Parker Smith,
   and news specials on subjects like the Department of Energy's Grand
   Challenges, the Los Alamos Computational Test Bed, Meiko's promise to
   deliver a teraflops supercomputer by 1993, and much more.
** Feature Stories. We've posted an increasing number of full-length articles
   on high-performance computing applications. Recent stories have covered
   molecular modeling, construction site planning and the removal of
   underground pollutants.
** Openline Forums. These online discussions are attracting a higher volume
   of responses, broader participation and more stimulating controversy.
** Job Bank. More and more employers in high-performance computing and
   communications are posting Help Wanted listings on this popular service.
** Newsletters. Recent additions to this informative section include Access
   and Data Link, from NCSA, and Visions, from the Ohio Supercomputer Center.
** Direct Dial-Up Access. Users who do not have Internet access may now dial-
   up SUPERNET INT'L directly via modem at [phone].

And there's much more to come, including an online Bookstore and daily Usenet
News. We've also made significant technical improvements to the system,
including a comprehensive range of available terminal emulation types
eg. sun xterm vt220/320 etc. (Use the <setup> command for a full listing).

   Stay informed with news and information on the dynamic high-performance
computing industry; make SUPERNET INT'L part of your daily routine. We're sure
you'll find your return visit to the system well worth it.
   And remember, there is absolutely NO CHARGE to you as a user of this
service, thanks to the support of our sponsors.
