For those of you who ran out and bought one of those neat new CD recorders, Gary's got the latest OS/2 goodies -- CDR/RW Wizard is updated, as is the underneath file, cdrecord. And to do disk at once burns, there is cdrdao, and a folder class add-on called Audio/Data CD Creator. And, much, much more, of course...

This month Tony rails against inkjet cartridge manufacturers who make tiny little changes between models so you have to buy separate ones for the Xerox Docuprint C20. He also has some solutions, of course. There is also a link to the recent OS/2 eZine articles on Lotus Smart Suite 1.6, and a general discussion of word processing options for we of the Warped world.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All
This month, Mr. KIA puts his nerd beanie on tight and explains what to do when you get one of those awful kernel trap errors. He even (gasp) gives some pointers on what you can do to intelligently interpret those seriously long trap dumps. Honest, you don't really need to know hexadecimal notation to figure it out!

May's Meeting Topic - eComStation
It wasn't quite final, but we were the first group to get a demo in the roll-out of eComStation from Serenity Systems. Kim Cheung and Glen Hudson went to great lengths to show us their long-awaited "replacement" for OS/2.
