Unigram is a weekly newsletter, derived from the same source as Computergram, the
daily newletter. It's my first read in the morning and quite honestly it would be
the first subscription I'd ensure at any company I worked for.... Even allowing
for the rumours that are reprinted, there's always a lot of good hard information
from detailing IBM announcements to who's doing deals with whom...

And they always try to finish on a small "funny" item....
