The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will be this Saturday, May 17, 2003 at 9:15 AM PDT, at the Fullerton Public Library, 353 W. Commonwealth Ave., in meeting room B.
eCS at SCOUG -- Version 1.1 At Last!
As Bob St. John, Director of Business Development at Serenity Systems tells us, the release of eComStation 1.1 Entry is the biggest OS/2 news so far this year.
It's certainly been long anticipated by the OS/2 community. Some key enhancements involve changes to the user interface. And for the first time, the power of CID is made available to every user. However, major applications that were free with the first version are now an add-on pack and priced separately. You owe it to yourself to find out, first- hand, just what all this means for you.
You can see eComStation 1.1 on May 17th at SCOUG. We are assured it will be the officially released version and that copies will be available for purchase at the meeting. Long-time SCOUG member Kim Cheung, Serenity's Executive Director, will be on hand to show it off and answer all of your questions. Guaranteed to generate controversy, this is a golden opportunity to observe first-hand and decide for yourself.
As always, there will be free coffee, donuts, and help with your OS/2 problems, too.
The Programming SIG is taking a short break this month. It will return in June to work on their "success for open source" project.
TAKE NOTE: SCOUG's June meeting will be on the second Saturday of the month (June 14th).
Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've got a problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help.
OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, June 1st, 2003, 2 PM PDT, Chapman University in Orange:
At the live OS/2 Help Desk, volunteers will give you hands-on assistance solving your hardware and software problems. It is generally held the first Sunday of the month at Chapman University in the city of Orange (east of I-5 and north of the 22 freeway) in cooperation with the OS/2 SIG of the North Orange County Computer Club.
Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. There is an elevator to bring up your equipment. Bring your system and all related hardware and software, along with a detailed explanation of your problem.
The Networking SIG normally meets at the same time and place as the live OS/2 Help Desk, but it's still on hiatus. We hope to have it back in June.
