Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will be next Saturday, Feb. 20, at 9:00 AM PST, at the IBM offices located in Plaza Tower, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa, on the 2nd floor. CDS to show SCOUG the future of backup.... We've all seen the hard drives that we once backed up to 250MB tapes grow much larger over the last several years. But the once-easy question of how to backup those drives has grown very difficult. Brent Bowlby of CDS, Inc., makers of the popular BackAgain/2, will help SCOUG members sort through this dilemma. Brent has an interesting presentation planned about the current status of backup media, and where things are going. Attendees will be able to see the future of backup, and may even have an opportunity to leave with a nice piece of hardware. After the presentation there'll be time for Q&A, so, as usual, you'll have an opportunity to get your computer problems resolved. Next will come the raffle, which is always a winner. And last, but not least, are the two Saturday SIG meetings: General Interest Group - As always, something many people find useful and interesting. Programming SIG - Take a look at the goals for this SIG at http://www.scoug.com/os24u/1999/scoug902.2.progsig.html; there is plenty to cover! Afterwards: All those who just can't stop talking shop will want to go to lunch. Probably at the same restaurant as last month, but that's subject to change. Make suggestions to President Terry Warren (terry@scoug.com) if you have a better location in mind. Monday, Feb. 22, 7 PM PST meetings: The Networking SIG and the OS/2 Help Desk, after a few months' hiatus, will resume at a new location. Both will meet at Heritage Christian High School in Anaheim, rooms B101 (computer room) & C102 (art room). When, where, and how to get there: SCOUG will be meeting on Saturday, February 20, 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. For the Networking SIG & the OS/2 Help Desk on Feb. 22: The Heritage Christian High School in Anaheim is at 2530 W. La Palma Ave. It is on the south side of La Palma Ave. (about 200 ft. E of Magnolia) on the property of Grace Baptist Church. There is a 2-story office building close to La Palma Ave. with the address of 2528 up near the roof. Turn in (south) there. Drive all the way to the back and park along the chain-link fence. NOTE: There is a lot of freeway construction north of the school on I-5 and the 91 freeways; some on/off ramps may be closed and/or have detours.
