well here is another new "commericial" service. Not sure what a "sponsor" is,
however.

I work for an organization that is considering launching a
magazine on Internet. The magazine will cover end user needs and
span from terminals to workstations. The magazine will also
cover software, peripherals and networks that run on these
machines.
The publication is Free for the subscribers and unbiased.
It will be totally supported by sponsors.
Here is how it works. Once a week the service will e-mail,
to the people who wish to be on the list, a Table of Contents.
Each article in the Table of Contents will be identified by an
item number. To get the full text of an article, you just list
the item numbers in a message to the automated server. The
server will return the articles in seconds. To use the system
you do not have to have full Internet access only e-mail.
As Internet is becoming more commercialized everyday, we are
dedicated to operate this publication from only sponsor support
and provide it free to the subscribers. We truly feel that
Internet services should be free to the end users. In order to
accomplish this the sponsors require us to build a large
subscriber base to prove that it is a valid concept.
If you would like to show your support please sent a message
to "bgrubb@nyx.cs.du.edu". We would also like your comments about
what you would like to see included in this magazine. All replies
to this address will be added to the e-mail list. If you don't
have any comments and would just like to show your support please
feel free to send a blank message as all responses will be tallied.
If you have a friend who might be interested please encourage them
to send a message also.
