The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be this Saturday, May 17, 2003 at 9:15 AM PDT, at the Fullerton
Public Library, 353 W. Commonwealth Ave., in meeting room B.
eCS at SCOUG
Version 1.1 At Last!
As Bob St. John, Director of Business Development at Serenity Systems
tells us, the release of eComStation 1.1 Entry (available at
http://www.ecomstation.biz) is the biggest OS/2 news so far this year.
It's certainly been long anticipated by the OS/2 community. Some key
enhancements involve changes to the user interface. And for the first
time, the power of CID is made available to every user. However, major
applications that were free with the first version are now an add-on
pack and priced separately. You owe it to yourself to find out, first-
hand, just what all this means for you.
You can see eComStation 1.1 on May 17th at SCOUG. We are assured it
will be the officially released version and that copies will be available
for purchase at the meeting. Long-time SCOUG member Kim Cheung,
Serenity's Executive Director, will be on hand to show it off and
answer all of your questions. Guaranteed to generate controversy, this
is a golden opportunity to observe first-hand and decide for yourself.
As always, there will be free coffee, donuts, and help with your OS/2
problems, too.
The Programming SIG is taking a short break this month. It will return
in June to work on their "success for open source" project.
TAKE NOTE: SCOUG's June meeting will be on the second Saturday of the
month (June 14th).
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.
Info is at http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.
OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, June 1st, 2003, 2 PM PDT, Chapman
University in Orange:
At the live OS/2 Help Desk, volunteers will give you hands-on assistance
solving your hardware and software problems. It is generally held the
first Sunday of the month at Chapman University in the city of Orange
(east of I-5 and north of the 22 freeway) in cooperation with the OS/2
SIG of the North Orange County Computer Club.
Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. There is an elevator
to bring up your equipment. Bring your system and all related hardware
and software, along with a detailed explanation of your problem.
The Networking SIG normally meets at the same time and place as the live
OS/2 Help Desk, but it's still on hiatus. We hope to have it back in
June.
How to get to the Fullerton Public Library:
From the 91 freeway, exit Harbor Blvd. heading north. Turn left at
Amerige Ave. The library is 2 1/2 blocks down on your left-hand side;
the main entrance is actually on Amerige 1/2 block west of Highland Ave.
From the 57 freeway, exit Chapman Ave (near Cal State Fullerton)
heading west. After you pass Harbor Blvd., go 2 more blocks and turn
left on Highland Ave. Go 3 short blocks south on Highland Ave. and
turn right on Amerige Ave.; the library is 1/2 block down on your left.
