<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Georgia size=2>I was a PointCast user during the 
daytime at work and recently gave EntryPoint, the replacement product a 
try.&nbsp; I was quite disappointed.&nbsp; What I liked the most about PointCast 
were the automatically-updating stock and index charts.&nbsp; Looks like they've 
all but eliminated these in their efforts to reduce bandwidth.&nbsp; I'm no 
longer interested, at least not in the version I saw.</FONT></DIV>

  <DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Friend, <BR><BR>You once registered to use our PointCast 
  Network as your online news <BR>source. We would like to thank you for having 
  used our service and <BR>for helping us change how the world gets information. 
  <BR><BR>We contacted you a while back to tell you about our all new product - 
  <BR>EntryPoint 1.0. Since that time, we have significantly improved the 
  <BR>EntryPoint product with PointCast users in mind. We believe that the 
  <BR>totally upgraded EntryPoint 2.0 represents such a vast improvement 
  <BR>over PointCast that within the next few weeks, we will stop all 
  <BR>broadcasting over the PointCast Network in favor of the new product. 
  <BR><BR>Over the years, we received lots of valuable feedback from our users. 
  <BR>Many of you requested: <BR><BR>&#8226; Improved service reliability, and <BR>&#8226; 
  Reduced file size <BR><BR>Additionally, users told us that they most valued 
  PointCast's great <BR>features like: <BR><BR>&#8226; Personalized stock portfolio 
  <BR>&#8226; A screen saver with stock ticker <BR>&#8226; News content from trusted sources 
  like the Wall Street Journal, <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;the New York Times, CNN and

This list wouldn't be the same without Jim G. and Guy Tann, not too
