Sundial Expands Warped Jeopardy, Announces Celebrity Contestants

The dazzling Warped Jeopardy! live game show produced by
Sundial Systems and scheduled for Sunday at Warpstock has been
expanded with new sound, new video clips and new multimedia.

Warped Jeopardy! debuted last month on the west coast "and was
great then" says producer Randell Flint, "but now it's even
better."

The on-stage contestants are three well-known OS/2 users of
high stature. Author David Moskowitz of OS/2 Warp Unleashed
fame will be first to tackle the questions as Sundial poses the
answers. OS/2 advocate Judy McDermott, driving force behind
VOICE and the Warpstock Board, brings her OS/2 knowledge to the
front of the Warped Jeopardy! theater. And Larry Finkelstein,
respected OS/2 developer and President of Warpstock Inc., holds
down chair number three.

The stage show is bigger, better, louder and brighter. The
multimedia is greatly expanded "with more full-motion video
playbacks, tighter production, an enhanced projection system for
our expanded trivia list" says Flint. "We've rounded up some
absolutely great clips from the tape vaults of OS/2 nostalgia,"
he adds. The entire multimedia show is controlled by a single
machine running Warp 4, a custom system created by Sundial.

"And we've doubled the amount of audience participation, since
we found that everyone likes a chance at the questions when we
give them the answers."

Warped Jeopardy! is based on the Jeopardy television show.
The computer driven game board offers different topic
categories, the host gives an answer, and the contestants must
give a correspondingly correct question. In effect, the three
celebrity guests have the questions and Sundial has the answers.

"This is meant to be a fun time," says Sundial President
Randell Flint. "The Sundial crew and I have spent several
months creating Warped Jeopardy! so that major OS/2 gatherings
such as Warpstock can have a unique, enjoyable and OS/2-oriented
special attraction. The people who come to Warpstock are deeply
involved with OS/2, and we've created an entire multimedia
gameboard with some truly wonderful and delightful trivia
questions for the three Warped experts we've scheduled for
Sunday."

Sundial's Warped Jeopardy! show starts right after Sunday
lunch. Seating is limited and you'll need an admission ticket,
so pick up your free tickets early at Sundial's exhibitor booth,
where "Sundial Has The Answers".

Sundial Systems supplies OS/2 users with a number of
high-quality software products covering spreadsheet, database,
desktop enhancement, time management, word processing and email
needs and consisting of Mesa 2, Rover Pack, Relish, DBExpert,
Clearlook and a new product to be announced at Warpstock.

Grab an early seat with a good view and watch these three
celebrity contestants guess the questions as Sundial has the
answers.
