When kids his age were skateboarding and hanging out at the beach, Rollin White was setting up and running his own computer bulletin board devoted to OS/2. He had other extra curricular activities, of course, but this one evolved into his career. Now Rollin is a noted OS/2 expert and key developer at Sundial Systems Corporation. Along the way he started the OS/2 SIG of the North Orange County Computer Club, was active in Team OS/2, founded the Southern California OS/2 User Group, served on its board and as its president, and was instrumental in the success of Warpstock '97. These days, in addition to writing about OS/2 now and then, he's content with webmastering the SCOUG site and leading its Programming SIG.
