OS/2 SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP
PHILADELPHIA AREA COMPUTER SOCIETY
http://www.phillyos2.org
The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites
all interested computer users to attend the April meeting:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1998 7:00 - 10:00 PM
Episcopal Academy, 376 N Latches Lane, Merion, PA
*** FEATURE PRESENTATION ***
- - OS/2 Weather Satellite Tracking Station - -
SIG members Bill Dyke and Ray Waechter will demonstrate an OS/2
application for a weather satellite tracking station which Bill
uses at the high school where he teaches.
The station receives signals from GOES and NOAA weather satellites,
downloads these signals to the computer, converts analog information
to digital, and displays images on the computer monitor which can be
analyzed, combined with other images to show the motion of a weather
system over a period of time, etc. For purposes of our presentation,
recordings of previous satellite transmissions will be used.
Other agenda items include OS/2 news & new product announcements,
SIG business matters, Q&A session, software raffle, etc. An OS/2
system will be on hand for live demos of OS/2, Java, Internet, etc.
as time may permit. Free light refreshments will also be served.
A copy of the new GA release of Lotus SmartSuite for OS/2 Warp 4
will be the main raffle prize for some lucky Warp 4 user.
Driving directions to Episcopal Academy, the February meeting agenda
and other useful information about OS/2 SIG activities may be found
on our web site at http://www.phillyos2.org. Please log in frequently
to stay abreast of the latest happenings.
