  Warpstock '99 was a resounding success.  By all accounts, 
this was the smoothest run conference so far.  Everyone 
will want to make plans to attend next year's event, 
Warpstock 2000, to see how it builds on the success of 
Warpstock '99.

  This year, from the time you signed in, to the last raffle
on Sunday, there was plenty of information and fun to be 
had.  Peter Coffee's Keynote address was a highlight of
the conference with the title "On the information super-
highway, who wants to drive a Pinto?" referring to another
less robust operating system.  Even here, however, we were
reminded of the far reach of OS/2 and Warpstock, as Peter 
had to explain the "Pinto" to the European attendees as a 
car that had a tendency to explode on rear impact.

  There were a full slate of sessions covering topics for 
everyone.  Programmers had a field day with sessions on
Device Drivers, Assembly Language, and Object Rexx, for
example,  while nonprogrammer could see the latest 
demos of OS/2 software solutions.  A common refrain 
heard during the weekend was how difficult it was to
choose between all the sessions occurring in the same 
time slots.

  Lest anyone think this was all work, however, there was
plenty of fun to be had as well.  The Saturday evening 
social, "Magic Moments", was a spectacular event.  The 
food was fantastic, the company was enjoyable, and the 
entertainment was magical.  Hosts VOICE and Mensys, 
truly made it an evening not soon forgotten.  Sunday,
however, Sundial's "Warped Jeopardy" tested everyone's 
memory as the contestants and audience attempted to find 
the question to the answer in this live-action game show.  
With answers from the earliest days of OS/2 and a look at 
previous marketing campaigns, attendees were treated to a 
hilarious version of the past, present, and future of 
OS/2, with prizes and discounts galore.

  Between sessions and during breaks, attendees were able 
to meet the exhibitors and see demonstrations of the latest
OS/2 products.  From Serenity Systems OS/2 install in less
than a half minute, to Sundial's complete product line, 
there was something for every OS/2 user.  The Vendor 100
program also gave attendees a chance to see demos of many 
OS/2 products including a host of shareware software.

  This year's Warpstock definitely had something for 
everyone.  Attendees at Warpstock '99 found the facts, the 
friendship, the fun, and the future of OS/2.  Come join us 
for Warpstock 2000, as we continue to make each year the 
BEST WARPSTOCK EVER!



  OS/2 users from around the world met on October 16-17
in Atlanta.  Visit http://www.warpstock.org for the complete
