Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will be this Saturday, Jan. 16, at 9:00 AM PST, at the IBM offices located in Plaza Tower, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa, on the 2nd floor. Start the Year with StarOffice! The big buzz around town has been StarDivision's release of StarOffice as a free office suite for personal use. All you have to do is download the 77MB package as SCOUG vice-president and computer guru Paul Wirtz has explained in his Download! columns for Dec. 1998 & January. (The Download! columns are at http://www.scoug.com/os24u/1998/scoug812.2.download.html and http://www.scoug.com/os24u/1999/scoug901.2.download.html, respectively). (If you don't want to download the package and prefer receiving a CD-ROM of the package directly from StarDivision, it'll cost you $39, but you'll also get some additional filters and documentation.) Now it's time to see what the package can do - and that's exactly what Paul will be showing us at our January meeting. As an added bonus, you'll get to see what's new on the web site. Our Programming SIG leader, Rollin White, will show us the online version of the SCOUG Help Desk where answers to your problems can be shared and resolved, without leaving home. Don't wait for the meeting - read about it at http://www.scoug.com/help After the presentation it's time for Q&A so you'll have an opportunity to get your computer problems resolved. Next is the raffle. And last, but not least, are the two Saturday SIG meetings: General Interest Group - Paul will continue exploring StarOffice, especially its' Internet-related functions. Programming SIG - President Terry Warren will demonstrate the latest version of Visual Age C++. Afterwards: If you like to socialize, stick around for lunch. We'll go someplace where we can continue our discussions of OS/2 and catch up on what everyone did during the holidays. When, where, and how to get there: SCOUG will be meeting on Saturday, January 16, 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). Park in the open-air lot to your left. Plaza Tower is on a diagonal from the open-air parking lot.
