CompuServe

CompuServe has many resources that support pen-based computing. Among the most popular are the following online forums which support pen-based computers, PDAs and palmtops:

• GO NEWTON (Newton users forum)
• GO NEWTDEV (Newton developers forum)
• GO PALMTOP (supports most palmtop computers and PDAs)
• GO PENFORUM

The Pen Technology Forum is mostly developer oriented, but includes support for Penpoint, the EO units, and various pen-based software packages.

Additional online areas will be added in the months ahead to support all aspects of portable and pen-based computing and wireless communications.

The primary managers for the above areas are:

• Ron Luks 76703,254
• Neil Shapiro 76703,401

For a free introductory CompuServe membership kit, which includes a $15 usage credit and one month’s free standard subscription (an $8.95 value) please call 1-800-524-3388 and ask for operator 307.
