Greetings.

We at UVC would like to announce video lectures
on comp.parallel but we want to request permission first.

Please let me know what you think and I will report the results.

I polled comp.arch a few months ago and got a very positive
response.  We now post there four times per year.

Here is a typical announcement:

    University Video Communications produces and distributes
    50-minute video lectures by people who originate/develop
    today's important computer technologies.

    Industry sponsorship allows us to offer them at modest
    prices.  1800 key university, corporate, and government
    sites around the world use UVC tapes to update university
    curriculum and the workplace.  Tapes are usually at the
    upper-division/graduate level.

    Here are some parallelism titles:
