NetZero - Using OS/2 for FREE Internet Access At our April meeting, NetZero will show us that they've taken an old idea and translated it into a new innovative model for free Internet access. Using their proprietary software, NetZero will show us what they've done, and why. What does this have to do with OS/2? NetZero will be releasing an OS/2 version of their software shortly, and will give SCOUG the first peek at it. We had to pull a few strings to accomplish this feat, though it was helped by the fact that newly re-elected SCOUG President Terry Warren (terry@scoug.com) developed the software for NetZero, and will be the one giving the presentation. Think it's time to consider a new Internet provider? Come to the meeting and have a look at NetZero! 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 - will continue with REXX - looking at what is involved in adding REXX support to your own application. Afterwards: Continue talking about the wonders of OS/2 over lunch. Monday, April 19, 7 PM PDT meetings: The Networking SIG and the OS/2 Help Desk will meet at Heritage Christian High School in Anaheim. The OS/2 Help Desk will work with folks on hardware and software problems while the Networking SIG meets in another room. Thursday, April 22, 7 PM PDT meeting: The new Sundial SIG also meets at Heritage Christian High School in Anaheim. They will continue with their pursuit of relational database design.
