Putting together an OS/2 system
If you run OS/2, one predictable concern is "What hardware should I get?"
Every OS/2 user wants to know what equipment is best for the operating system,
and, possibly more importantly, what hardware to avoid.
The August meeting of the Phoenix OS/2 Society, on Tuesday, August 12, will
address this topic in detail. Our guest will be Ken Espiau, operations manager
of Computer Central in Sedona. Computer Central sells OS/2 pre-installed on
computer systems, to individuals and companies of every size. Because Ken's
company has sold and supported OS/2 on such a wide variety of systems and for
every kind of computer user, he's best suited to talk about making the best
hardware choices. Ken has even figured out how to preload IBM Aptivas with
OS/2 Warp.
About Computer Central
Computer Central, located on Coffee Pot Drive in Sedona, is a full service
computer center. The company offers IBM, HP, and Compaq computers and servers,
laptop computers, a variety of printers, and a comprehensive range of software
-- including a section devoted to OS/2 applications. The company is a Premier
BESTeam member, and has on staff a Novell CNE, IBM Certified OS/2 Warp Server
Engineer, a Certified OS/2 Warp Server Engineer, and a Compaq Accredited
Systems Engineer. They also offer training classes.
When and where
The general meeting will be held at 7:00pm on Tuesday, August 12, at the
Mountain Preserve Reception Center (1431 E Dunlap). The Q&A session begins at
6:30pm; we're certain to convene at Coyote Springs afterwards.
