I used to get these articles emailed to me directly from Alibre - they were called the monthly Tech Tip. Looks like exactly the same content. For some reason I stopped receiving them in June 2005. Any one else still getting these tips emailed directly? I rather enjoyed getting the tips and it was sure convenient!

I liked those e-mails myself.

The tips used to be on Alibre's website as well, but I can't seem to find it.

Found it.

And this one is from May 2005 so that would be the last tech tip sent out. I wonder why they stopped.
