Well, we again improved OS/2 Computing! In this issue, we feature more than
ever; a entirely new and redesigned welcome page. This page will now feature
regular news about OS/2 and the computer industry in general. MNN or Medullas
News Network is our new section where you can keep-up-to-date on everything
from new software about OS/2 to who is about to bring the newest and best
software for your computing enjoyment.
Because of your feedback, we have reduced the size of the cover page.
However, I am sure that some reader would still like to print out a fill sized
cover page so, we have created a link for you.
At OS/2 Computing! Magazine, we strive to bring you the best! No other web
site on the Internet matches our feature and our commitment to you and OS/2.
Hope to see you at our web site soon!

Thinking Operating Systems v2.04
By Tom Anderson, Jr.
Late again. Hey, it's the heat. Yes, that's it <GRIN>.
And to add to my lateness, my ISP has been so slow that I have not been able
to send or check mail. Yes, it is a national provider. So, how I'm looking
into the cable company for my cyberlife needs. Has anyone been lucky enough
to have this for a service? E-mail if you have.
Now on the short part of my commentary.
The 1997 Shareware Industry Awards have been announced at http://www.sic.org.
In each and every category there is an OS/2 application. This is truly great
news. There are twelve categories and in eleven there are two or more OS/2
applications.
And now for some important news. In all of the times each of us have read or
heard someone say to the effect that OS/2 is dead, now you can tell them about
Warpstock '97. This event is the out growth of the Marketplace meeting of
OS/2 vendors in Phoenix. From there the die was cast in St. Louis at the
IBM Technical Interchange. The Warpstock Steering Committee, announced in St.
Louis, that October 24-26, 1997 in Los Angeles, CA. would be the site of this
OS/2 "OS/2 love-fest." I'm quoting the next paragraph from
comp.os.os2.announce on 22 May 1997.
"The enthusiasm the OS/2 user community has shown for Warpstock is just
tremendous,' said Felix Cruz, sales and marketing director for Softouch
Systems. 'In the 1960's, young men and women associated Woodstock with the
cause of individual freedom of expression. The millions of computer users who
use OS/2 Warp as their operating system also made a choice; they looked for an
alternative better than the one suggested by the 'establishment.' Warpstock
permits an opportunity for OS/2 enthusiasts to express their 'freedom' from
the tyranny of the Microsoft hegemony,' Cruz added. With a twinkle in his
eye, he whispered, 'And it'll be a hell of a lot of fun!'"
Here's the URL for you to bookmark:

So, in the spirit that we, the users, will be held responsible for the success
or failure of OS/2, let's support this in any fashion we can. From keeping
informed and passing this on to other OS/2 users to showing up in LA this
October.
And remember to register those shareware programs.
Take care,
Tom Anderson, Jr.
