THE SYDNEY PC USERS GROUP PRESENTS
THE SECOND OS/2 SEMINAR DAY
"WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE WITH OS/2 TODAY"
Today's computers can make you tremendously productive. Or they can make you
wish for a return to the quill pen. One of the biggest problems is deciding
which platform suits the way you work. Do you believe the hype, gamble with
untried software or struggle on with obsolete systems?
The Sydney PC Users Group is holding it's second OS/2 Seminar Day. Designed
for both experienced users and those completely new to computing; experienced
presenters demonstrate all aspects of using OS/2. The intention is to show
what can easily be achieved with OS/2, without spending an arm and a leg.
This is not a sales pitch, instead it is an opportunity to learn from the
experts the do's and don'ts in the increasingly complex world of personal
computing.
PROGRAMME OF EVENTS
Installation, Tuning and Customisation Jim Cantor, from netFORCE (a network
consulting firm), will demonstrate how to install OS/2 from scratch. This will
include multimedia and CD-ROM options, with lots of chances to ask questions.
OS/2 ShareWare
Chris Halliday, long-time User Group member, will introduce some of the
high-quality shareware available for OS/2. Productivity aids, and easy-to-use
add-ins will feature.
Lunch
The Fortune Village Restaurant on the ground floor serves a range of healthy
Chinese food.
Running a small office with OS/2
Dion Gallard, from Multi-Task Consulting, will demonstrate the Bonus Pack,
which ships with OS/2. Far from wimpy little applets, the Bonus Pack contains
some very powerful, useful applications.
Enhancing OS/2 with Object Desktop
Oliver Franklin, from Frankson Information Management, will demonstrate an
OS/2 equivalent to the Norton Desktop for Windows. An extremely small,
efficient package, it makes OS/2 really sit up and take notice.
Building a Web Page with OS/2
Kevin Karp, an independent consultant, recently constructed an advanced World
Wide Web Page using OS/2-based development tools. He will show how this was
achieved.
Advanced Software
Voytek Eymont, an OS/2 software specialist retailer, will demonstrate some of
the highly developed OS/2 software that is currently available.
Door Prize Draw
All of the presenters have provided door prizes, which will be raffled
to attendees.
Shareware Disks:
Disks of selected shareware will be available for purchase at discounted
prices. Utilities, productivity aids, icon collections, etc will help you get
off the ground.
When and Where:
10:00am, Saturday, 30th March, 1996
Auditorium, 1st Floor,
Bowlers Club of NSW,

Even if you're just curious, even if you use another platform, this Seminar
Day will give you a very good feeling for what can be accomplished with OS/2.
See you there!
