                               The guest presenter will be Randy Whittle,
                               speaking on behalf of MGI Software. Randy
                               holds an MBA from the University of Southern
                               California and works as a Marketing Strategy
                               Consultant that specializes in helping
                               companies identify how their business and the
                               economy will be changed by electronic
                               commerce, helping them to formulate
                               strategies for making such changes work in
                               the firms' favor.

                               Randy learned very early the importance of
                               feature-rich and easy-to-use software when,
                               without the budget to hire outside resources,
                               he was put in charge of personally designing
                               brochures and marketing materials for a small
                               startup. He later became the founding Director
                               of the Electronic Commerce Program at the
                               University of Southern California's Marshall
                               School of Business, having developed an
                               innovative graduate-level curriculum for
                               business students--the first of its kind as
                               required course curriculum for MBA's at a major
                               business school. During his tenure at USC,
                               Randy was quoted by Family Money Magazine
                               concerning the reliability of on-line information
                               and arranged for USC to host a week-long
                               symposium of electronic commerce industry
                               leaders.

                               Randy and his wife Vicki are the proud parents
                               of two young children, MacLean and Brittany.
                               He uses pictures of the family extensively in
                               his presentations to drive home how personally
                               useful you will find the software.

                               You will come away from this meeting
                               entertained and informed. Randy will provide
                               time for an open Q&A period and will bring
                               valuable door prizes, informative handouts,
                               and a special user group price for those
                               wishing to purchase these outstanding
                               products at the meeting. See you then!

To all,

rich, i subscribed to a onelist service, and suddenly began receiving
tons of mail from one esoteric computer outfit, and had to unsubscribe
to eliminate the junk. how do we avoid this problem in the instant
case?

The njccmail facility is not a joke.  We are putting the newsletter online
and will not be mailing it out in the near future.  You can unsubscribe by
sending an email to :
njccmail-unsubscribe@onelist.com          you need nothing in the body or
subject.

You will have to check the newsletter at NJCC.ORG for information on the
upcoming meetings when we stop mailing the newsletter.

delivers cost-effective graphics and multimedia solutions to consumer and
professional users. Widely recognized for their quality, ease of use and
powerful features, the company's products are used by business and home users
alike for business presentations, digital photo manipulation, Web graphics
design and other forms of visual communication. Jasc Software brings
professional editing functionality to the personal desktop, ensuring that people
around the world can easily create, manage and express the images that capture
their imagination's creativity.

Jasc Software was founded in 1991 when the owner and current president wrote a
number of graphics tools designed to enhance users' productive creativity. After
placing these programs on several electronic bulletin boards for others to use,
he received a variety of product suggestions and enhancement requests. Many of
these ideas were incorporated into the existing programs and others became
springboards for new applications.

As the image editing market constantly grows and evolves through the 1990's,
Jasc Software successfully positions itself as a market leader by continuing to
make its products available on a "try before you buy" evaluation basis via
electronic bulletin boards and the Web. Literally tens of millions of people
have downloaded and used the company's products, making them some of most
popular programs in the history of the Internet.

Product feedback from this sizable and extremely loyal user base has allowed
Jasc Software to repeatedly enhance its products and win acclaim from both its
users and the graphics industry. This dedication to the highest quality customer
service extends to every aspect of the company's operations, and includes
unlimited free technical support for registered users of Jasc Software products.

Headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, Jasc Software currently employs over 100
people worldwide and is one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in
the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Jasc Software products are
distributed in over 100 countries by international distributors in Australia,
China, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, The Netherlands, Taiwan and the United
Kingdom.

The Products The company's award-winning product line is led by Paint Shop Pro,
a complete painting and image editing package. Consistently recognized by
industry leaders as one of the finest graphics software programs available,
Paint Shop Pro delivers professional-level image editing power to business and
home users with consumer-level ease of use and speed. Jasc Software also
publishes Quick View Plus, the industry-leading file viewer that makes it easy
