5259.0. "AltaVista VC <==> The Cobb Group" by KAOFS::R_DAVEY (Robin Davey CSC/CTH dtn 772-7220) Thu Apr 24 1997 16:05

    Does anyone know what "The Cobb Group" is and how it is related
    to AltaVista?
    
    I just received an email from the AltaVista Visionary Club offering
    a free issue of "Power Searching with Altavista" but when connecting
    to the webb pointer given I end up at "The Cobb Group" at URL
    	http://www.cobb.com/go/altavista
    
    If "The Cobb Group" is a Digital spin-off does anyone know if we
    can subsribe to this service without having to pay the annual fee.
    
    
    thanks,
    
    Robin

	The Cobb Group writes lots of "how to" newsletters that they sell for lots and lots of money. They're not associated with Digital in any way that I know of. This seems to be one of their latest. j.
