FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southern California OS/2 User Group Makes It
Official: Warp Expo West This September

Following is the statement made today by Terry Warren, President of
the Southern California OS/2 User Group, at its General Meeting:
_____

Good morning.

The Southern California OS/2 User Group was formed six years ago as a
center for knowledge and learning about the operating system known as
OS/2.

During these six years we have shown our commitment to this
objective. Our monthly meetings feature cutting edge OS/2 technologies
and products. We have Special Interest Groups dedicated to
high-interest areas. We have a renowned web site with a vast collection
of OS/2 information. Our monthly publication OS/2 For You is six years
old.

Our monthly speakers come from around the globe. Chris Graham, The
Graham Utilities, Australia. Brad Wardell, Stardock Systems, Michigan.
Randell Flint, Sundial Systems, Southern California.

And our commitment to bringing OS/2 users and vendors together in one
place is already well established. SCOUG was instrumental in finding
the facilities, services and manpower that culminated in the 1997 debut
of the first Warpstock, here in Southern California. SCOUG was one of
only three user groups to have presentation tables at Warpstock '98,
where we also ran an Internet Relay Chat from the vendor floor. And,
also in 1998, the SCOUG Five-Year Anniversary Party drew almost two
hundred attendees for a day-long party with OS/2 lectures, games and a
fifty-prize raffle. A similar SCOUG event took place the year before.

Today, I am pleased to announce that SCOUG, the Southern California
OS/2 User Group, will continue and in fact expand its involvement in the
OS/2 community. I am pleased to announce that this September, SCOUG
will fully sponsor Warp Expo West - A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement here
in Southern California.

Further, the Board Of Directors of the Southern California OS/2 User
Group has decided that Warp Expo West shall be free. Attendees at Warp
Expo West will pay no admission fee; vendors presenting their OS/2 wares
will pay no exhibitor fee. Every person at Warp Expo West, be they
guest, vendor or lecturer, will enjoy this Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement
without charge.

Warp Expo West will take place in one Vendor Hall, three Lecture Halls
and a Special Interest Patio at Chapman Conference Facilities in Orange,
California, just four miles from Disneyland, on Saturday September 18
1999. There will be over 20 OS/2 seminars and lectures; we expect the
presence of dozens of OS/2 software vendors. Our choice of a
very-intensive one day event means that more guests and vendors,
especially those who cannot afford an entire weekend of their time, may
attend.

upcoming Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement. To register for this free event,

There is more excitement surrounding OS/2 right now than we've seen in
some time. New disclosures show that competitor business practices
hindered the growth of OS/2 far more than anyone knew, and the recent
success of new OS/2 product releases shows there's a strong and surging
need for this robust and powerful operating system. When we gather in
September we shall bring with us the strength of knowing that our choice
was the right choice, the technologically superior choice, the one
choice with the strongest and most intuitive graphical user interface
and the fastest and most flexible multiprocessing capabilities. We look
forward to seeing each and every OS/2 user, from the world over, at our
Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement - Warp Expo West.

- Terry Warren, President
The Southern California OS/2 User Group
