The OS/2 Wincast/TV driver is continually being updated and IBM is slowly working on the WarpTV application to get it ready for release. In fact John posted a note on Warpcast 2 weeks ago, just point your browser to see it at http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc3484.html

Seat belts required
We're a little nervous about the Phoenix OS/2 Society's general meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, June 8. Kim Cheung, Executive Director of Serenity Systems, will show us WiseManager, a product that delivers to small and medium size companies the same benefits that IBM has been providing to their enterprise accounts through the WorkSpace On Demand product.
But we'd like to avoid a repetition of what happened at the recent Southern California OS/2 User Group meeting, when Kim Cheung demonstrated the WiseManager product. Their newsletter's report begins, "SCOUG members were seen falling out of their chairs in amazement..." and concludes, "WiseManager is truly a miracle." That's a little overwhelming. What kind of product can generate such a response? How about a product which allows anyone to build a TCP/IP intranet, by filling in the blanks? Ever hear of a product which can deploy an application across a WAN with one drag and drop -- over a switched connection, from a remote site? Or how about building an OS/2 machine in 30 seconds or less?
According to Cheung, business partners have said, "If you want to make your product valuable, make it simple and complete." At the June general meeting, you'll watch how simple it is to build an OS/2 machine on the LAN. Power on the machine, type in a name and -- poof! -- a complete OS/2 Warp 4 machine is ready.
With WiseManager, you get more benefits, more function, and less cost in an "out of the box" solution that works. WiseManager provides solutions for software deployment, application and user management, problem resolution, all accomplished using OS/2's solid and proven technology. Although WiseManager can coexist with IBM's Workspace On Demand, WSOD is not required for WiseManager to operate. All you need is OS/2 Warp Server Entry, OS/2 Warp Server Advanced, or OS/2 Warp Server SMP.
Kim recently completed testing on Aurora and IBM's new Network Station hardware. At this meeting, you'll hear his assessment of how these new products from IBM can improve your experience with "Network Computing -- for the rest of us."
When and where
The general meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 8, at 7:00pm, at the Mountain Preserve Reception Center, 1431 E Dunlap. The "random access" Q&A session starts promptly, on the dot, at 6:30pm, give or take a half hour. Kim is a dynamic presenter who's sure to reinvigorate your enthusiasm in OS/2 -- so plan to reconvene after the meeting at Coyote Springs.
The Phoenix OS/2 Society Inc (POSSI) is the world's largest user group devoted to OS/2, with members in 16 countries and 48 U.S. States. Membership includes a subscription to its monthly print magazine, extended attributes, which includes how-to articles, OS/2 product reviews, industry commentary, and even an occasional cartoon. For a free sample issue, visit http://www.possi.org. (And if you visit the site today, you'll have the opportunity to vote on the location of POSSI's planned OS/2 weekend, which will be held over Memorial Day Weekend, 2000.)
