At FarPoint, we are committed to keeping the lines of
communication open with you as a valued customer or potential customer. Our
newsletter is one way we hope to keep you informed about our advances in
product development and to share some of our excitement with you. From our
successful showing of our new Spread for BizTalk solution at TechEd Boston to
the launching of our new version of the technical support forums, there's a lot
going on at FarPoint. For those of you who can make it to the shows in
Barcelona, Spain or Las Vegas, Nevada, USA there will be plenty to see at our
booth.
For anyone interested in the Spread for BizTalk beta, you don't have to wait
for the show — you can

special offer; our
Spread for Web Forms product was rated Best Grid component of 2005 by asp.netPro
magazine.
So look for these regular updates, and feel free to let us know what you think,
or just give us your thoughts about where you see spreadsheet technology
solving real problems. Add us to your safe sending list and feel free to email

editions for Visual Studio 2005 and earlier.
