Forum Change Notification

Intel has made changes to the forum server software making it necessary for you to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the forums if you use an NNTP browser. This change will be effective November 16, 1999 8:00a.m. Pacific Standard Time. After you have resubscribed, please update your bookmarks.

All existing posts will be moved to the new server and those of you using the HTTP interface will continue to be able to enter the forums through the links from the forums home page located at http://forums.intel.com/. If you had a bookmark directly into the HTTP interface for the forum, you will need to update those bookmarks as well.
