Third Weekly Newsletter Update Released by Warp Expo West

Warp Expo West, the free international OS/2 expo to be held this
September, has just emailed its third weekly newsletter to all those
who've registered for the event. (The url to register and receive the
newsletter is below.)

"It's important to give our future guests a steady flow of
information," said Rollin White, Chairman of the Warp Expo West planning
committee as well as a significant player in Warpstock 97 and the 1997
and 1998 versions of Warp Expo West. "Back in 1997, one of the things
we didn't have time to do was a newsletter. Putting on two years of
OS/2 shows has given us a lot of experience, and the Warp Expo West
newsletter is one result."

Warp Expo West is free for guests and exhibitors alike, and everyone
who registers for Warp Expo West receives the weekly newsletter.

"The newsletter isn't a huge weekly writeup," explained Carla Hanzlik,
who edits the monthly OS/2 For You publication for Warp Expo West's
sponsoring organization. "It's in an easy-to-read format with headlines
and a quick paragraph for each, so people know we're on top of all the
details and that they'll have the experience of their life once they get
here."

In fact, the show's byline -- "A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement" -- says
it all. "That's why we chose the Chapman Conference Facilities near
Disneyland," said Steve Schiffman, the Warp Expo West facilities
planner. "It's big enough for us to do anything we want. Did you see
the picture on our web page? It's huge. We're not using the entire
building, but we've already expanded the show size once and it's
certainly nice to have all that space available."

The Warp Expo West web pages, complete with the free registration form
and pictures of the conference facilities, begin at

"The Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) is sponsoring this
event because we care about OS/2," said Terry Warren, President of
SCOUG. "We've made the show free so more people can attend the seminars
and lectures, talk with the exhibitors, see the new software and meet
the other OS/2 users of the world. Warp Expo West is something special,
something that is for the people, the users, the vendors, the
proponents, the *community* that uses OS/2."

Sponsored by The Southern California OS/2 User Group.
