[NEVETS2 (NEVETS2]

Fellow cybernauts, 

Passing along recently obtained information on Roadmap - something new under
the sun that you might be interested in - either right now or for when you
are ready to learn more about navigating the Internet.  I have subscribed -
but since all I know about Roadmap is contained in the attached message, I
can't vouch for its effectiveness.  If you're interested in hearing from me
after I complete the Roadmap sessions, please send me Email requesting same.

     WELCOME TO THE SECOND ROADMAP FOR THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY
                INTERACTIVE INTERNET TRAINING WORKSHOP

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

WHAT IS ROADMAP?

     Roadmap is an Internet training workshop designed to teach
     both new and old "Net travellers" how to travel around the
     rapidly expanding (and often times confusing) "Information
     Superhighway" without getting lost.

     Using the latest information available coupled with guest lectures
     from some of today's most respected Internet leaders, Roadmap
     promises to be one of the most talked-about Internet training
     seminars in history!

     ... and, best of all, its absolutely FREE!!!!!


HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR ROADMAP?

     When the first Roadmap workshop closed its enrollment on
     August 22, 1994, there were over 16,000 people from 63
     different countries enrolled. The second Roadmap workshop
     (which is the workshop that you have just subscribed to),
     promises to be even bigger!!


WHAT SORT OF INTERNET ACCESS DO I NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN ROADMAP?

     All you need is e-mail (although it would be nice if you also
     had telnet access). Since a substantial number of Roadmap
     participants only have e-mail access, the Roadmap workshop
     sessions will teach you how to use the tools of the Internet
     directly and also how to use these same tools using nothing
     but e-mail.


WHEN DOES ROADMAP START?

     Mid-October, 1994!! If you have signed up to the Roadmap list
     early, FANTASTIC!! Stick around and over the next couple of weeks
     we'll keep you updated as the start-up date draws closer!


HOW LONG WILL ROADMAP LAST?

     The Roadmap for the Information Superhighway workshop will last
     about a month. One Roadmap lesson a day will be e-mailed to you
     starting in mid-October, and a normal daily lesson will take no
     more than five to ten minutes to complete.


WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO?

     Nothing! In mid-October, the ROADMAP Listserv will automatically
     e-mail you a copy of each day's Roadmap seminar lesson.


WHAT IF I GO OUT OF TOWN AND CAN'T CHECK MY E-MAIL EVERY DAY?

     No problem!! The Roadmap workshop lessons will be e-mailed to
     you just like any other normal piece of e-mail. If you can't
     check your e-mail box on a regular basis, the Roadmap lessons
     will sit around in your mailbox until you have time to read
     them. The entire Roadmap workshop is self-graded and self-paced:
     there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that you can fall behind!

     If you are still concerned about missing a lesson or two
     because of travel, your might want to consider dropping out
     of this workshop, and subscribing to a later Roadmap workshop.
     The command to unsubscribe from this workshop is listed at
     the bottom of this letter, and you can contact Patrick Crispen
     to find out about future Roadmap workshop sessions.


HOW CAN MY FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS SIGN UP?

     Easy! Just have them send an e-mail letter to LISTSERV [at] UA1VM.UA.EDU
     which says SUBSCRIBE ROADMAP YOURFIRSTNAME YOURLASTNAME in the BODY
     of their letter. We will take care of everything else!!


A FINAL NOTE FROM PATRICK CRISPEN

     WELCOME TO ROADMAP!! I am excited that you chose to enroll in
     the Roadmap workshop, and I hope that you will enjoy the
     workshop when it begins in mid-October.

     Please remember that you are in the SECOND Roadmap workshop.
     While the first Roadmap workshop will begin in early October,
     your workshop will begin in MID-OCTOBER, 1994.

     If there is anything I can do for your until the start of the
     workshop, please feel free to contact me at my e-mail address.
     Thank you again for enrolling in Roadmap, and I hope you will
     enjoy the workshop!
