The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be next Saturday, January 15, 2000 at 9:00 AM PST, at the IBM
offices located in Plaza Tower, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa, on the
2nd floor.

CDS to Demo new Back Again/2000!

Computer Data Strategies' Brent Bowlby will be on hand to show to
SCOUG the newly-released Back Again/2000, the successor to their
popular Back Again/2 line of products.

Back Again/2000 is the newest OS/2 data protection application and
continues CDS' committment to the OS/2 Warp and Warp Server
platforms. Designed to be easy to use and an easy transition from
Back Again/2, Back Again/2000 is an all-new application with many
advanced features.

For those of you who weren't lucky enough to see Brent's presentation
last year at SCOUG, descriptions of his presentation varied from
"phenominal" to "outstanding" to "excellent". We expect a full house
at Brent's presentation, so come early for a good seat.

Meanwhile, for those of you thirsting for more information on Back
Again/2000 prior to the meeting, visit the CDS website at:

Two SIGs meet after the general meeting on Saturday:

Programming SIG: Steven Levine will lead the group, looking at Y2K
problems which actually occurred after the century changed, what
management and design errors might have led to these problems not
being corrected beforehand, and other global computer problems
similar to Y2K that programmers may soon be called on to resolve.

General Interest Group: The topic will be a Y2K Redux. They'll cover
problems anyone is having with the hardware, operating system, or
specific programs under OS/2. They'll also set up the SIG meeting
schedule/topics for the rest of the year.

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, January 17, 7 PM PST meetings:

The OS/2 Help Desk will have volunteers giving you hands-on
assistance solving your hardware and software problems.

The Networking SIG will continue setting up a new network. Come help
and find out what it all takes. (For further information, go to
http://www.scoug.com/netsig.html)

Thursday, January 20, 7 PM PST meetings:

The Sundial SIG will be looking at the Clearlook word processor,
specifically how it's used to produce SCOUG's monthly newsletter,
OS/2 For You. They'll work with templates, graphics, varied width
columns, fixed size text areas, footers, and more to create a
polished newsletter.

When, where, and how to get there:
SCOUG will be meeting on Saturday, January 15, 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).

Park in the multi-level garage behind TGI Fridays' across Anton Bl.
from IBM; the open-air lot on a diagonal from IBM may be unavailable
due to construction.

For the OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG on January 17, and the
Sundial SIG on January 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
