SCOUG meeting Sept. 20: SCOUG 10-year anniversary

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will be this Saturday, September 20, 2003 from 10 AM - 2 PM PDT, at the Fullerton Public Library, 353 W. Commonwealth Ave., in meeting room B.

SCOUG is 10 years old: it's definitely Party Time!

Ten years is an event definitely worth celebrating. Come join our pizza party!

But before the food, our presentation will give us an in-depth look at the new Mozilla tools available for OS/2:

- Firebird 0.61 Browser
- Thunderbird 0.2 Mail/News Program
- The latest Mozilla builds (1.4 & 1.5 beta)

We'll also see how plug-ins are installed under OS/2, where the bookmarks live, and other goodies like running multiple versions simultaneously.

Besides this being our 10th anniversary, we have something else to celebrate; our President, Tony Butka, got married last month. Congratulations, Tony!

Lest we forget our every month routine, there's always:
- Free coffee
- Free donuts
- Free advice.

NOTE: The meeting starts at 10 AM, not 9 or 9:15 as we're used to.

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, October 5th, 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.

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.

Visit us at http://www.scoug.com/meetings.html; there is a link to Yahoo! Maps with a map to the Fullerton Public Library.

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.
