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. http://www.warptech.org/ See you Friday to Sunday, May 26-28, at WarpTech 2000! ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
