The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be TOMORROW, Saturday, December 16, 2000 at 9:00 AM PST, at
Grace Baptist Church in Anaheim.

eComStation

Kim Cheung, Executive Director of Serenity Systems, will be on hand
to demonstrate the officially released eComStation, a managed client
product from Serenity Systems. This is a follow-up to an impromptu
demonstration he gave at the September 2000 meeting.

eComStation is built on rock-solid IBM technology and Serenity
Systems' WiseMachine technology. eCS is a smart client that fits
perfectly into existing network environments. With powerful recovery
and control features built-in, and the ability to seamlessly execute
a broad range of current and legacy applications, eComStation allows
for the protection of existing investments in technology while
significantly controlling future technical support costs.

Also, 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 and donate them
to the December meeting raffle.

After the main meeting presentation, we'll have Q&A, the big raffle,
and then the Saturday SIG meetings:

General Interest Group: TBA

Programming SIG: Will continue with their Adopt-an-App project,
Newsharvest.

Help Desk chats now happen on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PST. If
you've got a problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask
for help. For further info, go to
http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.


Sunday, January 7, 2:30 PM PST meetings at Chapman University,
Orange:

OS/2 Help Desk: Got problems with your system? Volunteers at the OS/2
Help Desk will help you solve them. Bring your system and all related
hardware and software, along with a detailed explanation of your
problem.

Networking SIG: Will be providing help to members setting up a peer
network and connecting their local LAN to the Internet via a cable
modem connection, DSL connection, or a dial-up connection via an
ISP.

The Sundial SIG is on hiatus, pending the successful search for a new
SIG leader.


Special note: Starting in January 2001, our Saturday meetings will be
at a new location: Regal Lanes in Orange, on the 2nd floor. Regal
Lanes is normally known as a 72-lane bowling center, but they do have
banquet rooms on the 2nd floor that is a great improvement over the
current meeting location. The banquet rooms are quiet, have elevator
access, has a phone line for our use, and a DSL connection is in the
works. Also, there are nearby restaurants for post-meeting lunches
and plenty of parking spaces. More details to come, so stay tuned.


How to get to Grace Baptist Church:

The Grace Baptist Church in Anaheim is at 2528 W. La Palma Ave. It is
on the south side of the street (about 200 ft. E of Magnolia). It's a
2-story office building close to La Palma Ave. with the address of
2528 up near the roof. (It's between 2 large apartment complexes and
can be easily missed). Look for the SCOUG banner and/or a sign with
the words "New Hope Christian Center". Turn in (south) there. Park in
the front lot. For the general meeting, go up the stairs in the
middle of the building along the parking-lot side. For the Help Desk
& Networking SIG, go in at the middle on the ground floor and down
the hall to your right.

Freeway exits: (subject to change due to freeway construction on I-5
and the 91 freeways):
1) North I-5 (from central/south Orange County): take the
   Brookhurst/La Palma exit and turn left (going west over I-5).  The
   church will be on your left side.
2) South I-5 (from Los Angeles): take the Magnolia exit and turn
right
   going south.  Turn left on La Palma Ave; the church will be on
your
   your right side.
3) West 91 freeway (from the Inland Empire, etc): take the Magnolia
   exit and turn left going south.  Turn left on La Palma Ave; the
   church will be on your right side.
4) East 91 freeway: take the transition to I-5 south.  Stay to your
   right and take the Magnolia exit.  Turn right going south.  Turn
   left on La Palma Ave; the church will be on your right side.

OR: Go to http://www.scoug.com/directions.html; there is a map to the
school, plus a more detailed map & driving directions from Yahoo!


How to get to Chapman University:

There are two ways to get directions:
1) Go to http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/sitemap.html
2) Go to http://www.mapquest.com/ and enter the address 400 N. Center
   Street, Orange, CA.

You can park in any of the University lots for free on Sundays, but
if you part on the street, watch the signs carefully or else risk
getting a parking ticket.

Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second
floor and there's an elevator for you to bring up your equipment.

Come and join us!
