Announcement: Team OS/2 at Melbourne PC'96
Date: September 3rd-6th, 1996.
Today in Melbourne, the local branch of Team OS/2 announced that they will be
creating their own stand for PC'96.
"With the increase in interest in OS/2 as a viable alternative, we felt it was
time to stand up and be counted." said Derek Clarkson, chief coordinator for
the project. "and quite frankly, I've been amazed at the size of the response
since we started this."
With companies such as the Warp Confederacy group of Frankson Information
Management, OS/2 Zone Magazine, SBT Australia, MultiTask Consulting, Conner
Enterprises, as well as local leading hardware suppliers, EDGE Computers and
Electrobaud getting behind the effort. From America, support has come from
several ISVs including Stardock Systems and CDS, who are supplying show
bundles and special deals. One of the highlights being the soon to be released
Object Desktop Professional from Stardock Systems, and the debut of
QuickMotion for OS/2 which allows Apple QuickTime movies to be played under
OS/2.
At 6 meters long and over 5m high the stand is going to be a hive of activity.
Team OS/2 is planning to have presentations going on every 30 minutes during
the four day event, and is planning to cover every OS/2 product they can get
their hands on. From Merlin to LinkWiz to Galactic Civilisations to
Microstation and more, the idea is to cover as many third party OS/2 products
as possible.
"When I was approached about backing this venture, I took one look at the plans
and decided I had to be involved. These guys know what they are doing, what
they want, and are aggressive enough to get it. No way was I missing out on
the fun." said Oliver Franklin, Architect of the Warp Confederacy in
Australia.
With the backing of OS/2 Zone Magazine's web site at
http://www.os2zone.aus.net, Team OS/2 is planning to run regular show updates
across the web and provide a permanent virtual location for the support of
OS/2 users.
For more information, please email Terry Kemp at terry@emerald.cns.net.au .
Terry is the personal coordinator for the show and also the Australasian
coordinator of Connect the World with Merlin project.
You can find the stand near the north cafeteria, at location 1848.
