Whether they actually went under or had a sex change is not clear. But it looks like what started out as an "add-on" feature, SUPERNET, has taken over. I think this is a very bad idea. I've even said so on SUPERNET, only to have my comments deleted by their censors. I looked forward to receiving SR every month, and usually read my issues at a cafe after work, or during lunch, or in the backyard at home. I found SUPERNETs interface to be so lame and retarded that I'm loathe to use it. I guess one could search around to find the articles you'd want to read, download them, print them, and then read them next time you go to the bathroom. But why? Its really dumb. And especially if now they are going to ask us to PAY for this. I would complain regarding the unused $$ of your subscription. Sounds to me like they are pocketing the cash to cover expenses. Maybe its time for some one else to pick yp the pieces are publish another magazine for the supercomputing community. How about "Supercomputer User" for starters? Anyone want to invest? -- /\=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=/\ \/Richard Friedman (510)528-7055 | rchrd@netcom.com /\Applied Parallel Rsch (Berkeley)| /\ \/=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=\/
