items that only the Graham Utilities provide.
After the presentation, we'll have a raffle, Q&A, and then:
General Interest Group - President Terry Warren will be filling in for vice-president
Paul Wirtz this month. He'll do a dress rehearsal of a SCOUG-supported CUSeeMe from
Warpstock the following weekend.

Internet SIG - As always, they'll discuss the latest Internet news, and "download"
the best cookies anywhere.
OS/2 Help Desk - SCOUG's volunteers will be on hand to help you resolve your
difficulties with problematic hardware and software.
Tuesday, Oct. 20th, 7 PM PDT at the OCIPUG Resource Center:
Networking SIG - continues exploring the in's and out's of setting up a mail
server for a small SOHO network.
When, where, and how to get there: SCOUG will be meeting on Saturday, October

Long Island OS/2 Users Group
The Mid-Atlantic OS/2 Users Group is meeting September 26th Saturday at our usual
location: the Virginia Beach Public Library auditorium across from Loehmann's Plaza
at 10:00 A.M. (Setup starts at 9:30) we'll be looking at Netscape Communicator/2
version 4.x beta. Especially, we'll cover newsgroups and how to use them in both
Communicator and Navigator.
So come on out. We love visitors and if you decide to join, you'll get a free
OS/2 T-shirt while the supply lasts. Sorry, renewals don't qualify for the free
shirt. If the wealth of information at the meetings, heated "best hardware/software"
discussions, and the savings at CompUSA aren't enough to keep you coming, nothing
is!
