Welcome to IRIX 5.3 -- brought to you in living color, courtesy of your
Silicon Graphics workstation! We're excited about this release because
it contains enhancements that will affect a broad range of customers.
Desktop environment users will find improved tools, "power users" on
our multiprocessor machines will see greater parallelism, and System
Administrators will find new utilities that will enable them to more
easily install, remove, and browse software.  Check the Release Notes
for all the details.
 
Silicon Graphics is an active participant in the world of the Internet.
Over the last eighteen months we've introduced a number of support and
information services that utilize the Internet. Two of these services
are free of charge, IRIS On-Line and Silicon Surf.
 
IRIS On-Line is a monthly newsletter that we send to our subscribers
via e-mail.  It includes summaries of press announcements, technical
articles, and pointers to free software and games.  To subscribe,
simply hit the reply button and we'll take care of the rest.
 
 
If you are an Internet "surfer" visit our World Wide Web (WWW) server--
Silicon Surf. It's a kiosk of information about Silicon Graphics that
is updated on a daily basis.  Silicon Surf is a great place to get the
latest news about our company, our valued partners and our products,
learn all about the over 1900 applications that have been ported to
Silicon Graphics, and to find out what's Cooool and Free. The URL is
http://www.sgi.com.  If you'd like more information about the Web and
Silicon Surf, send e-mail to [log in to unmask]
 
See you on the Net!
