>
>Greetings AS-1 users,
>
>After many years of offering teachers a place to register their 
>instrument and share their data, SpiNet will be handing those 
>responsibilities over to IRIS. All the existing features for data 
>upload and download on SpiNet will be available and maybe a few 
>more. The transfer should be completed by the end of July, just in 
>time for the new school year. We are working to make this as smooth 
>a transition as possible.
>
>You are probably wondering how will this affect you. Once IRIS has 
>duplicated the tools for managing AS-1 station information, and 
>uploads and downloads of SAC data, SpiNet will install a webpage 
>that will automatically redirect you to the IRIS site when you visit 
>those features on SpiNet. When that happens, you will simply need to 
>update your bookmarks in your browser. It is as simple as that. Note 
>that SpiNet will continue to provide all the other information 
>currently on our site, such as the existing information about 
>AS-1's, our curriculum materials, etc.
>
>We will send another email with pertinent URLs for you when the 
>transition is complete. SpiNet and IRIS staff are committed to 
>making this a smooth transition, and help will be available, if you 
>encounter any problems.
>
>We want to thank all the teachers who have shared their AS-1 data 
>with the community over the years.  We appreciate your efforts and 
>hope you will continue to share it in the future on the new IRIS 
>site.  If you have forgotten how to share data or would like some 
>help getting started, let us know and we will be happy to walk you through it.
>
>We hope you have a wonderful summer break.
