It's BOTI--Like "and Tails," Not "Shake Your"

By Joe Caponi  In this issue, you'll find a card after page 164. Along with a handy guide to the best of Network Computing Online, this card holds two invitations for you. The first is to take part in the new Network Computing Advisory Forum. The forum will give you the opportunity to express your opinions on networking products and issues and give us the opportunity to compile and evaluate those opinions in a much more meaningful way than we've been able to in the past.

The second invites you to subscribe to our weekly Network Computing newsletter, your guide to the latest from Network Computing. Subscribe online or just drop the attached card in the mail.

It's not on the card, but we've got one more in vitation for you--to a party! At Internet World in Los Angeles this month, Network Computing and InternetWeek will present our BOTI (Business On The Internet) awards. The March 11 ceremony will be immediately followed by a party, and you can pick up your invitation at the Network Computing desk in CMP Media's booth at the show. You'll see our picks of the 10 organizations making the most innovative use of Internet technologies (from more than 1,200 entries).

Finally, going online with this issue is more information from our push and electronic-commerce features. Try the latest Interactive Buyer's Guides--now including 56-Kbps modems, ATM switches, video servers and color network printers, all in our fully searchable products and vendor database. You'll find it at www.NetworkComputing.com.
