Subject:	SCOUG-General: SCOUG meeting April 20: Home Networking

Content Type: text/plain

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be this Saturday, April 20, 2002 at 9:15 AM PDT, at Regal Lanes
in Orange, 1485 N. Tustin Ave.

Hands-on Home Networking from a novice's perspective

The advantages of networking your home - neither a myth nor impossible.
At SCOUG's April meeting you'll lear that you can do it yourself AND
get professional results.

Now don't laugh. Sure, you've probably heard an "expert" say it's easy
many times, but you weren't convinced because after all, it's an expert
talking. Well, our presenter, Michael (Rocky) Rakijas, wants to assure
you he's not an expert; he says he can't tell you how to get around all
the possible roadblocks you will encounter. But he will show you how he
did it, and that it's simple enough that you can do it, too.
Rocky will show you what you need to plan a home networking job, get
the parts and equipment you'll need, and follow-through the job to its'
completion. Then - to top it off - he'll show you how he uses OS/2 to
network all the systems in his house, keep them maintained and service
all the Internet needs of his family.

No one - repeat, no one - should miss this presentation!

In addition, we'll have Q&A, free coffee and donuts, and lots of
comradery. Maybe even a SIG. Say, summer is around the corner. Isn't
it time you bought a SCOUG tank-top?

Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've got a
problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help.

OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, May 5th, 2002, 2 PM PDT, Chapman
University in Orange:

SCOUG's in-person OS/2 Help Desk is held once a month at Chapman
University, in room 203 of the Hashinger Hall Science building. SCOUG
volunteers are there to help you work through your hardware and software
problems.

While you're at the in-person Help Desk, take a look at what the Networking
SIG is doing. It meets at the same time and place, so it's convenient
to do both. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon each month!

How to get to Regal Lanes:

From the 55 freeway, exit Katella Ave. heading west. Turn right (north)
at the first major intersection onto Tustin Ave. At the next signal
you'll find Regal Lanes on your right. It's across from the Toyota of
Orange dealership.

There's lots of parking on the south side of the building. Enter from
the east entrance of the building (farthest from Tustin Ave.), not the
main (front) entrance to the facility. Take the stairs to the 2nd
floor; meeting rooms (and restrooms) will be on your left.

Handicapped access is via an elevator by the front door.

OR: Go to http://www.scoug.com/directions.html; there is a map to Regal
Lanes, plus a more detailed map & driving directions from Yahoo!

How to get to Chapman University:

There are two ways to get directions:
1) Go to http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/sitemap.html
2) Go to http://www.mapquest.com/ and enter the address 400 N. Center
Street, Orange, CA.

You can park in any of the University lots for free on Sundays, but if
you part on the street, watch the signs carefully or else risk getting
a parking ticket.

Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second
floor and there's an elevator for you to bring up your equipment.

Come and join us!
