Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Gary Wong (wonggd@attglobal.net) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will be this Saturday, December 18, at 9:00 AM PST, at the IBM offices located in Plaza Tower, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa, on the 2nd floor. Last General Meeting of 1999; This is One You Don't Want to Miss! The meeting topic is still TBA. However, you should definitely plan on attending because December is always a fun meeting. Raffle Prizes Wanted - Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Once again, as in years of yore, we are soliciting your OS/2 hand-me-downs for the final raffle of the year. You know what we're talking about - all those things that are still good, but you don't use and they're taking up space, collecting dust. If you don't have a use for them, but think some other SCOUG members might, then bring them with you to the December meeting. After the main meeting, it's time for two of our SIGs: As the year is drawing to a close, the Programming SIG wil take a few moments to ponder Y2K issues. The General Interest Group will also discuss topical issues. Afterwards: No-host lunch and friendly chat at TGI Friday's across the street or another local restaurant. Internet SIG chats happen several times each week. Join them! (For further info, go to http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html). Monday, December 20, 7 PM PST meetings: Got problems with your system? Volunteers at the OS/2 Help Desk will help you solve them. Bring your system and all related components along with a detailed explanation of your problem. The Networking SIG will be meeting in the Journalism room where they will continue their efforts to set up and install a peer network. If you are interest in how a network is built from the ground up, this is your opportunity to get hands-on experience. The Sundial SIG will resume in January. When, where, and how to get there: SCOUG will be meeting on Saturday, December 18, 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, where our after-meeting lunch will be at). Parking may be a problem due to the holidays. Our advice is to park in the multi-level garage behind TGI Fridays' across Anton Bl. from IBM. If the garage is staffed, tell them you are attending a meeting at IBM. If past years are a valid indicator, the garage will not be charging at the time you leave after the meeting. For the OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG on December 20: The Eastside Christian School, Heritage Campus, is at 2530 W. La Palma Ave. in Anaheim. 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. Check the SCOUG web site for updates, and leave yourself plenty of time to find our SIG meeting location. Further information (including driving directions) can be found on the SCOUG web site at http://www.scoug.com. The driving directions (http://www.scoug.com/directions.html) also include maps for the general meeting and the Help Desk/Networking SIG that you can print off as needed.
