We would like to thank Digital Equipment Corporation for their outstanding work in helping us place California's 1996 election materials and real-time results on the Internet. With Digital's assistance we can provide election information and material to voters without the high cost of printing and mailing. We look forward to continuing this partnership with Digital as well as establishing others in order to utilize present and emerging technology to acheive maximum cost-efficiency and public access to this office.

The 1996 Primary Election Server is one of the best examples of business and government working together. We are proud to be able to set the standard for government's use of modern technology.
