Dear Steve,
Wow! I'm impressed! You are quick on the response to my e-mail. :-)
I found out about your site from Tourbus. Our school web page has only been
up for about two months. We are just learning but have unlimited access to
internet on about 30 computers. Thanks for taking a peek at it. Your
product is definitely an inspiration to all and I am sharing the URL with
others. And especially thanks for the news about CyberSurfari '98.
It has
been a busy school year (aren't they all?) and I had not came across that
event. We will definitely be registering. I am sure our students will
enjoy the competition. Maybe Montana will make its mark??
Sincerely,
Patty

WHY IS MONA LISA SMILING?

I know Tourbus readers are the smartest and best looking people on the
Net, but a little advice never hurts. :-)
I NEVER DID GET BRITISH HUMOUR

NET2PHONE UPDATE - CALL NYC FOR TWO CENTS A MINUTE
--------------------------------------------------
I just found out that Net2Phone, the cool service we reviewed on
Nov 18 1997, is offering an incredible special -- you can place calls
to New York City for $0.02 USD per minute from anywhere in the world!
You'll need a PC with a microphone and speakers to place the call, but
the recipient needs only a regular telephone. This special rate is
only good until Friday October 16th. Check here for details:

That's all for now, see you next time! --Bob Rankin
