We've seen the future, and it's not e-mail. It's something much better: spam-free, virus-free, and, well, free—as in no charge to you. What are we talking about? A revolutionary new digital content-delivery service we call "Virtual Velocity." Powered by a technology called Ventrega, Virtual Velocity is designed to bypass your emailbox and deliver our e-newsletters and television-quality streaming video directly to your desktop.

A companion to the print magazine you receive every month, our Virtual Velocity service will deliver updates whenever your computer is connected to the Internet. The content will stream to your computer without interrupting (or slowing down) any other computing tasks you may be engaged in at the time. Once the content has been downloaded, a pop-up indicator on your desktop will notify you that new content has arrived and is ready for viewing at your convenience.

You can be confident that the Virtual Velocity application is a secure, virus-free, protected software application and that the content it hosts will take up minimal space on your computer's hard drive. You will even have the option of specifying how much hard-drive space you want to allow Virtual Velocity content to occupy. And, of course, you will always be able to uninstall the Virtual Velocity application if you decide you'd rather receive our newsletters the usual way.

To experience this new technology, visit www.dcvelocity.com and follow the link in the upper right of our home page's navigation bar. It will lead you to a registration page, where you can complete a 30-second, one-time download. From there, you're ready to roll. You may never want to look at e-mail again.
