The last several Phoenix OS/2 Society meetings have focused 
primarily on product-related issues. It's time to think 
about the "Society" in our name again. And we'll do just 
that at the November general meeting, held on Tuesday, 
November 10, at 7:00pm.

Come talk with Alan Zeichick, founding editor of OS/2 
Magazine, and long an OS/2 advocate within the computer 
press. Alan will talk about his experiences with OS/2 and 
with OS/2 Magazine, the reactions to many companies to OS/2 
Warp Server, and provide his own "spin" on how to interpret 
the actions of IBM, Microsoft, and the computer press. 
Don't expect to sit through a formal presentation. Instead, 
he's inviting you to particpate in a dialog about the state 
of the computer industry.

Although Alan played with OS/2 since version 1.3, his 
serious involvement began when he installed OS/2 2.1 -- and 
thought, "Hey, this is great!" He pursuaded Miller Freeeman 
Inc., which published OS/2 Developer under license from 
IBM, to launch OS/2 Magazine as an independent magazine for 
consumers and business users of the operating system. From 
December 1993 until January 1997, Miller Freeman published 
OS/2 Magazine in an increasingly difficult financial 
environment, until it became no longer viable. After the 
demise of the magazine, Alan stayed with Miller Freeman 
until only a few months ago, as editor-in-chief of Network 
Magazine. Today, he's an independent technology analyst and 
writer, and has founded his own company, Camden Associates.

When & where

The meeting is held at the Mountain Preserve Reception 
Center, 1421 East Dunlap. Things officially gets underway 
at 7:00pm, but feel free to show up early. At 6:30pm is the 
Random Access session, where you can get advice from other 
OS/2 users about technical topics, products worth 
purchasing, or just about anything else.

Afterwards, of course, we'll adjourn to the "after-meeting 
meeting" at Coyote Springs Brewpub, where some of the real 
stories tend to come out!

The Phoenix OS/2 Society is the world's largest OS/2 user 
group, and publisher of the award-winning print magazine, 
_extended attributes_. For more information about the 
Society or to request a sample issue of the magazine,
