Dear Wall Street Journal reader: If you haven't visited the Money & Investing Update in a while, we wanted to let you know we've made some dramatic changes. On April 29, we became The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition (http://wsj.com). That means we've expanded, to bring you the entire spectrum of business coverage provided by The Wall Street Journal. You'll see not only our pioneering, continually updated coverage of the markets, but all the most important stories in technology, marketing, the law--even sports and weather. We've also added new features we hope make the Interactive Edition even more useful, such as Personal Journal, which enables you to create your own personalized view of today's news, and the ability to build and monitor your own personal stock portfolio. As a trial subscriber to Money & Investing Update, we are eager to have you try the Interactive Edition. So, your User Name and Password for the Update are valid for the Interactive Edition as well. Plus, as a special thank you for your early support, your access to the Interactive Edition WILL CONTINUE TO BE FREE THROUGH AUGUST 31, 1996, after which time a very modest subscription fee will be required to continue. But remember, NO CREDIT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT INFORMATION is required until after August 31, and ONLY THEN if you decide you want to join us as a paid subscriber. Until then, read the Interactive Edition as often as you like at no charge. To see the Interactive Edition, you can jump directly to the front page at http://wsj.com/edition/current/summaries/front.htm, or take a brief tour of the most interesting new features at http://wsj.com/tour.htm. We look forward to hearing your reactions to our interactive efforts, since the comments of readers like you have already played a powerful role in shaping our future. Please write us at the address below with any questions or comments. Neil Budde Editor The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition info@interactive.wsj.com P.S. If you experienced difficulty accessing the Interactive Edition during our first few weeks, we apologize. Reader interest completely exceeded our expectations. However, we've made a number of major system improvements since then and we encourage you to come back and try again. -------------------------------------------- If you don't want to receive future mail from the WSJ-ANNOUNCE list, simply reply to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE WSJ-ANNOUNCE3 in the message body.
