Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

wir moechten Sie auf einen Dienst aufmerksam machen, der Ihnen mit einem
EUnet-Mailanschluss zur Verfuegung steht. Es handelt sich um eine woechent-
liche Publikation auf dem Gebiet der Informationstechnologie, die unter
anderem per Mail bezogen werden kann. Der Autor ist ein irischer Journalist,
und sein Newsletter namens "IT's Monday" behandelt vornehmlich Themen auf
dem IT Sektor in Irland. Trotzdem koennte dies auch fuer Firmen in Deutsch-
land (evtl. mit Geschaeftsbeziehungen nach Irland) interessant sein. 
Es sei gesagt, dass diese Publikation NICHT kostenlos ist! Da EUnet selbst
daran jedoch NICHT verdient sondern nur als carrier auftritt, sei uns 
gestattet, entgegen den sonstigen Gepflogenheiten in den News ausnahmsweise 
etwas Werbung zu machen. 

Im Anhang finden Sie eine kurze Beschreibung zusammen mit Inhaltsangaben der
Dezember-Ausgaben. Bei Interesse wenden Sie sich bitte direkt per Mail an 
John Sterne <john@sterne.ie>.

Gruss,
 Ingo Dressler

IT's Monday  -  AN INTRODUCTION  


The IT's Monday news was launched last May and is intended for MIS 
managers, software developers, network service providers, and computer 
and telecommunications equipment suppliers.  Essentially it is plugging 
the gap left by the mainstream newspapers and magazines which 
now regard computing and telecommunications stories as too 
specialized for their readers.

What follows are the contents lists of the last four issues.  The front-
end news items are generally four to eight paragraph stories.  The 
'What's Happenings' are single paragraphers, divided between Irish 
and international events.  There is also a diary of the week's 
forthcoming events at the end of each issue.

The annual subscription is 250 Irish Pounds plus 21 per cent VAT, payable by 
cheque or credit card.  Delivery is via Internet to virtually any public 
e-mail sevice.  What I supply is ASCII text, which means that subscribers 
can run it on any hardware platform with any text storage and retrieval 
software.  After eight months IM has already built up into a text database 
of around 1.1 Mb.  A fax delivery option is also available, but obviously 
does not build up into a database.

Sales and accounts management for IT's Monday are handled by 
Computer Publications of Ireland.
