FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

      NEW COMPUTER GROUP TO SUPPORT USERS OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB

(Austin, Texas - February 8, 1994) Austin Internet users now have a way
to receive local support for all aspects of the World Wide Web. AWWUG is
a newly-formed, non-profit organization dedicated to to support those
who are actively using the WWW and to stimulate interest in those who
aren't.

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a system of hypertext documents, graphics, 
videos, and sounds distributed throughout the Internet. It can be accessed
through the use of WWW client software, such as Mosaic from the National
Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. WWW also allows access to such Internet 
services such as Anonymous FTP, Gopher, and WAIS.

Mark A. Gaither of ISSI, the acting Director and co-founder of AWWWUG
states "the purpose of AWWWUG is to provide a salient technical and 
organizational infrastructure which can support the local WWW community, 
while its mission is to promote the academic, commercial, and educational 
use of the WWW."

Brian Combs of Quadralay Corporation (combs@quadralay.com), co-founder
of AWWWUG,  will handle the public relations for AWWWUG. "The growth rate 
of the Web has been nothing short of phenomenal and that growth rate is 
only expected to increase. We feel that there is a need for support at 
a community level. AWWWUG will fill that need."

AWWWUG will hold it's first general meeting Tuesday, February 15, 1994,
from 7pm to 9pm at Shakespears Pub (6th and Trinity, next to Pecan St.
Cafe). This will be primarily an organizational meeting, but there will
be plenty of opportunity to ask and answer questions, talk about your
favorite Web site, swap horror stories, and network with those who have
interests similiar to yours.
