Subject:      INFO: American Information Exchange

[I'm forwarding this information to extropians and xtropy-l - Russell]

AMiX - the American Information Exchange - just sent me the latest
version of their email brochure; I'm appending it after my sig.

This is not AMiX posting here, by the way: it's me... flames to
/dev/null.  ;-)

If you're interested, email AMiX at amixinfo@markets.amix.com.  Give
them the disk size of your MS-DOS machine (Mac interface in the coming
months!!) and your landmail address.

If you decide to sign up, please do join us in the Extropians Market on
AMiX.  Send your request to DTRIBBLE.

REAL BUSINESS. REAL RESULTS.

LET'S GET REAL
No matter what field you're in, the real leaders are always easy to spot.
They're the ones with both eyes scanning the horizon for new opportunities;
both hands front and center, keeping a firm grip on reality; and both feet
poised to move ahead at a moment's notice.

There's one more way to tell who's in it for real: You'll find them doing
business on AMiX.

REAL MONEY
Most online services were designed for either hobbyists or system experts -
long on fun and games, but pretty short on truly useful information. You
can spend hours (at exorbitant online rates) on a hit-or-miss hunt for the
information you need. Or you might share you own hard-won expertise with
others - as a free public service. While this kind of exchange can make
good community, it rarely makes for good business.

The reality is that you usually get exactly what you pay for. That's what
AMiX is all about. It's the first online service designed specifically for
doing real business by modem. A gathering place for real people and
companies, with real professional reputations at stake - and real money on
the line. An online marketplace where you can negotiate real contracts, set
real deadlines, and discover new opportunities that can lead to real
success.

REAL OPPORTUNITIES
Your AMiX account entitles you to act as either a buyer or a seller in this
new virtual marketplace. It's the way to do business in the future. And
it's open for business today.

If you're buying, AMiX lets you quickly comparison-shop for information
products (like software, research data, or technical help) in an
environment that's as easy and inviting as your local mall. Everyone you
meet uses their real name, and has a professional resume posted. You even
get to see what their previous clients say about them, to help you get the
best quality at maximum efficiency.

If you're selling, AMiX brings in potential customers, takes care of
billing, arbitrates occasional disputes, and sends you a check each month.

Whether you're a Fortune 500 executive looking for a critical piece of
research, or a one-person consultancy with a sharply focused area of
expertise, the opportunities for making and saving money on AMiX are
limited only by your imagination and expertise.

REAL MONEY
AMiX is designed to help people market information. Unlike most online
services, AMiX is not in the business of selling airtime. (In fact, you'll
probably be surprised at our low online rates.) We make a commission on
each sale. So we only make money when you make money.

REAL INFORMATION
AMiX is creating information markets across a variety of business topics
ranging from computer software to finance to small business management.
It's a free-market system that rewards those who can provide high-quality
information, fast. Right now, you can get online with AMiX and:

*	Distribute software, programming tools, and code components instantly -
no packaging, printing, or duplicating costs, no transport issues, no
collection hassles. And issuing manuals and upgrades is as easy as
uploading new files.

*       Buy a subscription to a must-read newsletter or magazine. Or buy a
single issue, a single article, or just one key fact.

*	Upload and sell you existing articles, tips, solutions, analyses, and
papers that might be of value to others.

*	Get instant, inexpensive access to top experts in a growing range of
fields who can get you specialized information quickly, at a competitive
price.

*	Make money selling your expertise on the subject you know best.

*	Run your own nationwide consulting business - and never have to leave
your home or office.

AMiX lets you evaluate a growing selection of goods and services the same
way you might compare brands and styles in a department store. And if you
don't see what you want, you can order a custom-tailored solution to fit
your needs.
