                    Window On WarpTech

             The Weekly WarpTech 2000 Report

   From the desk of Craig Greenwood, WarpTech Captain

Bringing OS/2 vendors to a show like WarpTech takes a bit of
research. There isn't any "industry directory" we can check to get
their phone numbers and email addresses. Instead, we have to poke
around the Internet to find them.

Some are listed on sites like Indelible Blue and BMT. But we've found
that there are many OS/2 software providers who simply set up their
own web sites and don't use distributors.

The big OS/2 vendors, of course, are easy. Sundial Systems is coming
to WarpTech and they're bringing their Warped Jeopardy! show that
many of you have never seen. It's a live game show with a panel of
experts, a multimedia screen above them and lots of sound effects.
Plenty of audience participation and prizes too (probably selected
from the Sundial product line of Mesa 2, DBExpert, Junk Spy, Rover
Pack, Relish and Clearlook).

It's the little vendors, often just one person, that we really have
to work hard to find. Perhaps they have a few small apps that they
wrote for their own use and then found that others wanted to use them
too. Maybe a college or business project resulted in a product that
simply isn't available elsewhere.

Whatever the situation, each vendor wants to know if an exhibitor
booth at WarpTech makes sense businesswise. We carefully explain the
costs and ask them how many software pieces they must sell so they at
least break even. They're usually quite happy with the prospects once
they see the answer -- "just a few".

So we hope you'll see some software at WarpTech that's a whole new
experience for you. Over the next nine weeks our Vendors page will
grow as these software providers sign on. And that's good for you.

If you've been busy yourself writing OS/2 software and want to market
it at a three-day show (more chances to sell, hint hint), email our
Marilyn Pizzo (mpizzo@mindspring.com). She'll send you all the info
you need.

And if you'll be one of our guests at WarpTech, take a look around
our web site. We're always adding something new.
