Subject:	SCOUG-General: Let's chat

Content Type: text/plain

So, you're not one of those throwback cretins, are you, who still
have to sit in some garish silver tower with dirty carpets and bad
sculpture out in the yard? With a landlord who doesn't like you?
Surrounded by stinking bodies, grunting, farting, picking their
noses? Lousy cookies? Well, it's time to start enjoying the
benefits of joining your friends and other OS/2 afficionados and
gurus while smelling only your own farts, and not seeing anybody
pick their nose unless it's your spouse, which you're hopefully used
to by now. Get online! Join the SCOUG Internet SIG Chat
channel!

Next meeting: Tuesday night, 7-8 PM, or longer if anybody wants
to stay. Or earlier if anybody wants to drop in. I'll be there with a
more or less prepared program to sort of guide the discussion from
around 7 to 8. The real benefits will come from you, though.
Please come!

The next meeting after that: Tuesday night, 7-8 PM. Yeah, that's
right - we're going to get together every week. Write it down. Don't
make me come after you!

Please remember the #scoug channel is generously donated to us
by the fine folks at Webbnet and VOICE, who in addition to being
generous and helpful, are ladies, so we gotta act polite while we're
there and not make a mess. No talking about farts or Windows or
such or being rude to each other. Or they might /kick you off the
channel. Let's bring some Southern California panache and savoir
faire to the Chat realms!

How do you do it? It's easy! Find a simple guide and links to all
the details your heart desires at the Notes tab on the ISIG web
page. Also watch the ISIG Meeting tab to keep up with the agenda
and other info on these meetings. For those who haven't found the
ISIG site, you can get there from the SIGs page on SCOUG's web
site. For those who haven't found SCOUG, call me and I'll help you
out. For those who don't know about web sites, no problem. Just
don't keep waiting for the Network SIG site to get updated. They're
not all like that.

This has a lot of potential for supporting a lot of SCOUG activities.
I hope you'll join us and help make it work. Here are some reasons
you should join us:

10. Only endure your own farts, which don't smell anyway.
9. Bring your dog, unless he farts. Or even if he does.
8. Don't miss Highlander. Oh, wait, that was cancelled.
7. No more straining to hear a stuttering talking head with a
misaligned projector.
6. You can play your music as loud as you want.
5. You can come to the meeting naked.
4. Always have your favorite cookies.
3. Multitask. Read, nap, party, or write that kiler app AT THE
MEETING!
2. Total immersion. Full hands-on interaction with the agenda.
1. Learn a lot, and share your knowledge and your time with some
of the finest people anywhere in the world who happen to be
Warped.

I hope you'll be there. Tell your friends. Tell me what you want to
do at this and future meetings.
