J. Burke investigated configuration of various email addresses. Many had been directed to R. Horner. All mail boxes were full of spam. "Info" mail to be directed to B. Foster. "Donation" to be renamed to "Service_Purchase" and directed to P. Edwards. "Membership" email to go to D. Garverick.

NewsWire Ad
Extensive discussion about wording of the upcoming advertisement. Want to tie [a] company's future to MPE's future. Should stress that there won't be another window of opportunity. Change wording to "when we succeed...". Also include wording that says, "join now at reduced rate". A good slogan might be, "You can't buy an operating system like this anywhere else".
