Netcom's presence at PC-Expo while still quite unimpressive, is
nontheless much larger this year. If you can stop by their booth you
can see their new NETCOMplete software for Windows and MacOS.
Be sure you get a complimentary Netcom sports-bottle as well, and if
you sit in for the cheesy game show style presentation, you have a
chance at winning one of five Netcom T-shirts (which I did happen to
win).

and be sure to remember, you're with Netcom - Leading Internet Service
Provider

Well, Crown Books gave me a really neat coaster last night.

It even has the word Netcom on it...

Were they trying to give system demos during the outage?

Why imagine it?


01-01-00 We seem to have had a bad batch of cheese dip at the
party last night. Although many of you have expired,
rest assured that your survivors will be contacted for
a different credit card number. Our meidical staff is
expected to prevent any more expirations sometime real
soon.

That would be inconsistent with current policy.

Where they prefer to mark a card expired regardless of its actual state.
