Please add any other comments, suggestions, or questions that you 
have to site-program@wolfram.com. Thank you for taking the time 
to respond.

==============================================
Now Available: gridMathematica 2.2 and Mathematica Personal Grid 
Edition 6
==============================================
gridMathematica 2.2 and Mathematica Personal Grid Edition 6 are 
now available. Each capitalizes on all the new functionality of 
Mathematica 6 for dynamic interactivity, 2D and 3D visualization, 
and data integration, and includes Mathematica's powerful 
programming primitives for writing and controlling parallel 
operations.

Organizations that have licensed gridMathematica or Mathematica 
Personal Grid Edition through a Comprehensive or Unlimited 
Program will receive the upgrade automatically. The ISO files for 
Mathematica 6 and Parallel Computing Toolkit 2.1, which are 
needed to install these products, may be downloaded at:
http://site.wolfram.com/sitedownloads

If you would like to license these products through your site 
license program, please contact your Wolfram Research Account 
Executive for details.

Additional information on these products can be found at:
http://www.wolfram.com/products/gridmathematica
http://www.wolfram.com/products/personalgrid

==============================================
Now Available: Time Series 1.4
==============================================
Wolfram application package Time Series 1.4, a fully integrated 
environment for time-dependent data analysis, is now available. 
This new version is Mathematica 6 compatible. Organizations that 
have licensed Time Series through a Comprehensive or Unlimited 
Program can download the upgrade immediately at:
http://site.wolfram.com/sitedownloads

Further details are available at:
http://www.wolfram.com/applications/timeseries

==============================================
Third-Party Application Package Updates
==============================================
The following third-party application packages are now available:
AceFEM 1.1
AceGen 1.1
Derivatives Expert IV
Global Optimization 6
LensLab 1.1
Rayica 2.1

Each of these new versions is compatible with Mathematica 6. For 
more information about these application packages, visit their 
product pages:
http://www.wolfram.com/products/thirdparty.html

==============================================
Site Password Restrictions
==============================================
Comprehensive and Unlimited Sites now have the option to restrict 
password requests to individuals using an email address issued by 
that organization. If you are interested in this new security 
feature, please forward the list of domains to which passwords 
should be restricted to site-program@wolfram.com.

Additional information about this password security feature is 
available at:
Unlimited Sites: http://site.wolfram.com/distr/unst/onsite.html
Comprehensive Sites: 
http://site.wolfram.com/distr/comp/onsite.html

==============================================
Purchasing Extra Site Kits
==============================================
If your organization needs additional copies of the Mathematica 
media, but does not have the resources available to duplicate 
media in-house, you can purchase additional Mathematica site kits 
at newly reduced prices. Contact your Wolfram Research Account 
Executive for pricing.
