The event is being held at the IBM facilities in Costa Mesa from 10 a.m.(*) to 3:30 p.m. "Last year our Open House was a huge success," said Carla Hanzlik, editor of OS/2 For You, the monthly SCOUG publication. "We had almost 200 OS/2 users in attendance for our presentations, round-table discussions and product demonstrations. We also gave away a lot of door prizes, and even served everybody a free lunch!" This year's Open House is slated to be just as action packed. "We've got several lecture rooms that will be running simultaneously," said event chairman Rollin White. "We're covering networking, programming, the Internet, video cards, things that OS/2 users want to hear about. In all, there will be 16 presentations, all on OS/2." "We have Dr. Virginia Hetrick scheduled with an entire series on setting up a web site. Anyone who wants to set up their own web server should attend this excellent series."(*) "We've also got Don Baker, the man behind the Paper, Paper, Paper story, who will show exactly how to get superb, professional results out of inexpensive color inkjet printers." "And we'll take a look ahead with 'Coming Attractions: Speculations (and Some Facts) About the Future of OS/2', a special presentation by the ever-popular Randell Flint from Sundial Systems." In addition to the lecture hall presentations, the main hall will be filled with demonstrations of OS/2 products. Vendors such as Sundial Systems and Perfect Niche Software will be showing their products while other areas will have demonstrations such as scanning and printing with OS/2, financial trading with OS/2, OS/2 games and exhibits, plus some new software releases that will be previewed for the first time. "And we've got one other lecture hall that's been reserved for round-table discussions on specific OS/2 topics," added Rollin. The presentations, exhibits and games go all day, with breaks for the free lunch and the Door Prize Bonanza. This is _the_ OS/2 event of the year for Southern California. Every OS/2 user within driving distance should attend.
