The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be next Saturday, Dec. 19, at 9:00 AM PST, at the IBM offices
located in Plaza Tower, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa, on the 2nd floor.

Special Potpourri in December!

This is an exciting month for a number of reasons; the meeting topics
were member-requested and the raffle will be extra special.

For starters, newly-elected Yorba Linda Water District Director and
SCOUG Program Chair, Mark Abramowitz, will demonstrate the unique
election returns application he developed (with a "little" help) using
Sundial Systems' Mesa 2 spreadsheet and F/X Communications' dialer
InJoy.  He'll show how and why it works, and the innovative features in
the applications that allowed him to easily track election returns.

Next, SCOUG member Lynn Maxson will reprise his Warpstock presentation
titled "Call to Action" (you can read his presentation materials at
http://www.warpstock.org/98/presentations/Maxson/Present.html).  It is
controversial, and there will be opportunity for some vigorous discussion.

Then we'll have a very special raffle with a number of applications and
some perfectly good hardware and software that our members have donated.
Last year we had a treasure-trove of donated items, and virtually
everyone left with something nice.  Let's do it again this year!  (More
details below)

Along with all that, we'll have some Q&A, and then:

General Interest Group - will look at several programs to create
multiple desktops.  With OS/2 you can have many programs open at the
same time, but that can look messy and confusing.  Having several
desktops and switching between them is one solution.

Programming SIG - will resume working on their FTP server project by
studying the Java classes for using TCP/IP sockets.  The current source
code is available at http://www.scoug.com/progsig/ftp.html for your
review.

Networking SIG special session - will follow-up on last month's meeting
presentation, answering your questions about peer networking.

Just a reminder - the Internet SIG isn't holding a physical meeting this
month.  Contact Dave Watson at dave@scoug.com for details on the
"virtual" Internet SIG meetings (via IRC).

Got goodies?  Need to clean out some of that good (but not used) stuff
you have cluttering things up?  It's that time of year when we tend to
accumulate even more - but here's a chance to clear out some things
you don't need any longer and help someone else at the same time.  If
you have an item (probably computer-related ) that's still got a
useful life (but not with you), contribute it to the Dec. meeting raffle.

When, where, and how to get there: SCOUG will be meeting on Saturday,
December 19, at 9:00 AM (PST) at the IBM offices located in Plaza Tower,
600 Anton Bl., Costa Mesa, CA, on the 2nd floor.  From I-405, exit onto
Bristol northbound (one exit NW of the I-405/Hwy 55 interchange).  Turn
right on Anton Blvd (the first signal north of I-405).  Go east 2
signals and turn right (you will see a TGI Fridays' on your right).

Parking in December:

Finding free parking near South Coast Plaza the weekend before Christmas
is always a challenge.

We suggest you use the parking structure behind TGI Fridays'.  Someone
may be on duty there when you pull in - if they ask, say you are going
to a meeting at Plaza Tower (the building IBM is in).  They should then
allow you to park on the lower levels of the parking structure.  We
expect that there will not be a charge to exit the parking structure
when you leave after the SCOUG meeting; however, bring change along in
case Murphy's Law strikes .

Further information (including driving directions) can be found on the
SCOUG web page at http://www.scoug.com.  The driving directions also
include maps for the general meeting that you can print off as needed.
We hope to see you there!
