SCOUG Approves Additional Funds To Expand Warp Expo West

The Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) Board Of Directors has
approved additional funding for Warp Expo West.

"The interest we've received in this, our third annual OS/2 event, is
outstanding," said Terry Warren, President of SCOUG. "We now have to
meet that interest with a bigger show."

And Vice President Paul Wirtz had this additional comment: "There's
clearly a need for OS/2 information in both the marketplace and in the
home. The response we've had confirms this."

"We asked for additional funding after carefully reviewing our plans,"
explained Rollin White, head of the Warp Expo West planning committee.
"With the increased number of guests and vendors that we'll have this
year, expanding the Expo was absolutely necessary."

"Everywhere we turn, there's more and more interest in OS/2 as people
realize that they made their platform decisions based on misleading
information" concluded Terry Warren. "Warp Expo West represents a new
beginning for OS/2, and SCOUG is proud to do its share for the OS/2
community."
