Monday, August 26, 1996A biweekly newsletter about artnetweb
http://artnetweb.com
anw@interport.netThis newsletter is available on our website:
http://artnetweb.com/newsletter/
_____________________________________________________________Greetings from artnetweb:
A reader wanted to know why we don't have graphics in
this newsletter since we call ourselves a visual arts site.
We pointed out that this is an *email* newsletter and we
doubt many of our readers have the equipment to receive
email with graphics and we know we don't have the patience
to wait for them to download when we're in email mode.
Sometimes a thousand words are worth one picture,
at least when it comes to the Internet. We wanted a
way to stay in touch with our friends around the world
and let them know what we are doing in a direct and
economic form. Nothing beats email for that and as
enamored as we are with the bells and whistles that come
sliding through the pipeline every day we still see
value in simplicity.
As always we invite your comments and suggestions.
Our general email address is:
anw@interport.net
Best regards,
Remo Campopiano | remo@artnetweb.com
Robbin Murphy | murph@artnetweb.com
