"We are extremely pleased to announce that IBM will be both a presenter and an exhibitor at Warp Expo West," said Rollin White, Warp Expo West Chairman, to a delighted OS/2 crowd of businessmen, network engineers, software vendors and other OS/2 enthusiasts attending the recent general meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group. "IBM will be sending members of their national team to give our Warp Expo West guests more information on both new and existing IBM products for the OS/2 platform," continued White, "and we shall do everything we can to make sure that these OS/2 products and IBM's representatives are an integral part of Warp Expo West." The Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) is the sponsoring organization for this September's "A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement - Warp Expo West". Following the announcement, the audience was elated that IBM would be present in such force. "This shows IBM's commitment to OS/2," said Paul Wirtz, Vice President of SCOUG. "I am personally very excited." "I've installed OS/2 on so many office machines and networks over the years that I can do it in my sleep," said one audience member during a break. "It simply never fails. It's Y2K compliant. There's a brand new version out. And IBM will be there with their OS/2 people. I'm going to suggest very strongly that my entire department attend this show." Steve Schiffman, Facilities Coordinator for Warp Expo West, was also thrilled. "IBM's presence will certainly attract both more attendees and more vendors," said Schiffman, "and we will add as many additional rooms as necessary to ensure that all guests and exhibitors are accommodated in a comfortable, professional manner." Warp Expo West is the free international OS/2 expo being held near Disneyland in southern California. The web site is at http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest "This is our third annual OS/2 show," said Terry Warren, President of SCOUG, "and we've expanded it every year to keep pace with new developments in OS/2 software products, including the many new offerings from IBM. Each time IBM adds OS/2 products or increases the functionality of existing ones, we get technologically farther and farther ahead of the competition. We have the Y2K readiness that other platforms don't; we have IBM's outstanding development tools; we have their robust server and database products. The stability of OS/2 and its associated products has shown time and again that it's both a better solution and less costly to maintain, and we look forward to seeing OS/2 users and IBM join together this September for a view of the future, an OS/2 and IBM future, at Warp Expo West."
