NOTE: We have a new meeting location: we will be meeting at Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus) in Anaheim at 2528 W. La Palma Ave. Exclusive! New Product Launch at SCOUG! Are you tired of writing your passwords on yellow sticky notes or using the same password for everything so you don't forget? Would you like a secure place to keep all your passwords and secrets? Come to the next SCOUG meeting for the ultimate solution, as IDK unveils KeyRing/2. KeyRing/2 acts like an impregnable safe filled with all your passwords. Only you can open that safe with a master password. KeyRing/2 has a number of sophisticated features that SCOUG members will be able to see when developer Kevin McCoy demos the new product at the launch. The KeyRing/2 product announcement was published on WarpCast on Feb. 4 at http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4783.html. After the presentation, we'll have Q&A to help you with your questions/ problems, and then a raffle. After a short break, then the Saturday SIG meetings: Programming SIG: In January, Steven Levine proposed a multi-month programming project of updating an "abandoned" OS/2 freeware or share- ware application (with the approval of the program's author, of course). Toward that end, this month the SIG will consider several candidate applications for this "Adopt an App" project. In addition to discussing the SIG's "Adopt an App" project, we've invited the meeting's main speaker, Kevin McCoy of IDK, Inc., to hang around for the Programming SIG. Kevin will discuss how VX-REXX DLL's written in Virtual Pascal/2 were used in the development of their new product, KeyRing/2. He'll also share his experience with general development issues of REXX DLL's. General Interest Group: TBA, but see http://www.scoug.com/gig/index.html to see as to what to expect in the coming months. Internet SIG chats happen several times each week.

The Networking SIG will be meeting at the same time/place as the Help Desk in the new computer lab. If they haven't finished yet, they'll continue setting up a new network.
