Edupage, a summary of news about information technology, is provided three times a week as a service by Educom, a Washington, D.C.-based consortium of leading colleges and universities seeking to transform education through the use of information technology. ************************************************************ MARKETING MUSCLE? Though acknowledging that its representatives met with Netscape executives in 1995 to discuss unspecified mutual "business opportunities," Microsoft denies a recent report in the Wall Street Journal suggesting that it wanted to carve up the Internet browser market: "Microsoft did not at any time suggest dividing up the browser market or any other market." Netscape executive Marc Andreessen has a different memory of the meeting: "It was like a visit by Don Corleone. I expected to find a bloody computer monitor in my bed the next day." (AP 24 Apr 98) Edupage is written by John Gehl (gehl@educom.edu) and Suzanne Douglas (douglas@educom.edu). Telephone: 770-590-1017 Technical support for distributing Edupage is provided by Information Technology Services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ************************************************************
