UWTV Presents
Easy Instruction In Using Electronic Mail

Imagine electronic communications as simple and as fast as fax, but with
world-wide connections without long distance charges, time difference
problems or busy signals. 

Imagine communications that are not paper-bound, but arrive as living
documents that can be edited, sent to multiple addressees and readily
incorporated into other documents. 

This has always been the promise of electronic mail (email); a promise
unfulfilled because of the limited distribution of networks and the lack
of easy-to-use, widely-available email software.  With the coming of age
of the Internet international communications network and the development
of the Pine email software by the University of Washington, the average
person can now enjoy the convenience, economy, productivity and speed that
were once limited to the elite at large corporations and major
universities. 

With the expansion of the Internet into smaller organizations and the
rapid proliferation of private sector providers of individual accounts,
ordinary people with a computer and a modem can readily avail themselves
of this powerful and user-friendly technology. 

UWTV is promoting this revolution in communications by airing the series
"Electronic Mail Using Pine" every Thursday night at 9:00 PM on cable
channel 27.  The series assumes no technological background on the part of
the viewer.  Given access to the Pine software via any of the widely
available Internet service providers, any viewer can quickly and easily
become a full-fledged citizen of the Internet and take advantage of the
opportunities there. 

The first and pilot program of the series is now airing.  Viewers are
guided through the Pine software by the personable team of Paul Reed Smith
and Susan Lawrence. Smith, as an Internet computing expert, provides all
the technical underpinnings necessary to rapidly master the technology,
and Lawrence represents the average user by leading the dialogue to the
practical applications of the technology.  Her savvy understanding of Pine
is complimented by interviews with real people who clearly explain how
access to email with Pine has has contributed to and improved their
communications and professional lives. 

The first program provides

  A description of the Internet
  An explanation of email and its applications
  Instruction in using email addresses
  The basics of using the Pine email software

Electronic Mail using Pine is a series whose time has come.  You won't
want to miss the pilot program and will enjoy and profit from the
continuation of the series that is currently under development.
