Philadelphia OS/2 Mtg: Wed, Apr 24th

PHILADELPHIA OS/2 USER GROUP
http://www.phillyos2.org

The Philadelphia OS/2 User Group invites all interested computer users to attend the April monthly meeting:
. *** APRIL 24th MEETING AGENDA ***
. -- WEBSITE CREATION & MAINTENANCE --

This month we concentrate on website creation and maintenance. There are quite a few OS/2 tools available for the webmaster, and as many different management styles as there are webmasters.

Using the PhillyOS2 website as an example, members Barry Mann and John Davey will compare their webmaster styles. John uses the GUI tool Home Page Publisher, and Barry uses text editors, REXX programs, JavaScript, and the PPWizard multi-platform REXX-based text management tool.

John has been the PhillyOS2 Webmaster for several years. Upstart Barry proposes that John should throw out his confining GUI tool and use some "power" methods. During their give and take, Barry and John will expose both the good and the bad points of each other's style. As time permits, meeting attendees are also encouraged to present sites of their own choosing for critique.

Other agenda items include U/G business items, OS/2 news, new releases, Q&A session and raffles. The usual free refreshments will also be available.

Mark the date and time: Wednesday, April 24th at 7:00pm. OS/2 meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests and others interested in learning about OS/2 and associated technologies. We have a very full agenda, so also please try to be on time promptly by 7:00pm.

WE SUPPORT THE JAVA LOBBY: http://www.javalobby.org

Further information, directions to Episcopal Academy, and other useful information about the OS/2 U/G activities may be found on our web site at http://www.phillyos2.org, or contact U/G Leader Larry Lavins: llavins@worldnet.att.net, or phone (215) 878-9609.

SCOUG meeting April 20; Home Networking

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. Info is at http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.

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!
