  CompuServe Computing Forums Now FREE

  MOUNT LAUREL, NJ. - (May 2, 2000) - Creative Systems Programming
  Corporation is pleased to announce that their computing forums are
  now publicly available to all users on the World Wide Web 
  absolutely free of any charges. CompuServe is making a radical
  departure from the previously closed systems employed to build and
  manage some of the most successful online communities for more than
  two decades 

  All of the Creative Systems forums, including the Linux Forum, the
  Emerging Technology Forum, the IBM Forum, the Lotus Forum and the 
  Unix Forum are now available to anyone with an AOL Instant
  Messenger (AIM) screen name. This free access also includes
  CompuServe Instant Messenger (CSIM), Netscape AOL Instant
  Messenger, CompuServe and AOL accounts. Now, in addition to the 2.5
  million members of CompuServe, the Creative Systems Forums are
  available to the 22 million members of AOL as well as the 40 
  million holders of no-charge Instant Messenger accounts.

  "This is a very exciting time for us. Now, for the very first time,
  all of our forums are available to everyone," said Larry B. 
  Finkelstein, President of Creative Systems Programming Corporation.
  "We've got some great people that are willing to share their
  knowledge and experience with all participants. These communities
  are one of the best kept secrets on the web, and now they're open
  to everyone that wants to join. "

  "It's like having your own personal consultants that are available
  24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with expertise in every area 
  imaginable," said Julia Partridge, the manager of the IBM Forum.

  The Linux Forum (http://go.compuserve.com/linuxforum?LOC=3DUS) The
  Linux Forum is a community of Linux enthusiasts and others that are
  evaluating Linux as an alternative to Windows. While our earliest
  members are highly technical, leading edge and early adopters, many
  business professionals and mainstream computer users are joining us
  as Linux makes the transition to the desktop and moves away from
  its current stronghold as a server platform.

  The Emerging Technology Forum
  (http://go.compuserve.com/emergingtechnology?LOC=3DUS) The Emerging
  Technology Forum members discuss new and emerging technologies,
  providing a useful and meaningful context for anyone interested in
  exploring how specific technologies can change and enhance their
  personal and professional lives.

  The IBM Forum (http://go.compuserve.com/ibmforum?LOC=3DUS) The IBM
  Forum grew out of the ThinkPad and OS/2 communities and has been
  expanded to include all software and hardware products from IBM.
  It's the largest virtual IBM User Group in the world, with members 
  sharing their expertise in setting up and maintaining IBM systems, 
  including desktop, midrange, mainframe, mobile and personal
  systems.

  The Lotus Forum (http://go.compuserve.com/lotusforum?LOC=3DUS) The
  Lotus Forum provides free Lotus product technical support to end
  users, developers and administrators. With a special emphasis on 
  Lotus Notes, Domino and SmartSuite, members of the L-Team are
  available to assist with any technical or "how to" questions.

  The Unix Forum (http://go.compuserve.com/unixforum?LOC=3DUS) The
  Unix Forum is one of the oldest Unix communities on the web, and is
  frequented by members with an interest in the UNIX operating 
  system in all of its forms. This includes particular vendors'
  flavors of the operating system, including SCO and Sun, as well as
  clones such as Linux and BSD.

  Founded in 1984 and a privately-held company, Creative Systems
  Programming Corporation is a CompuServe Business Partner and full 
  service consulting firm, providing knowledge and community
  management services to an international clientele.
