ELECTRONIC COFFEE SHOP: Computerized Bulletin Board Lets Growers Combine Forces

摘要

Mark Thiessen says his computerized bulletin board system is like a coffee shop for growers, where they can meet on common ground to exchange information. Growers can go on line and access the latest research findings, current weather reports, or supplier information; submit their own classified ads; or initiate a conference "call" with other growers. These are just some of the services instantly available to growers who want to make computers work for them.
