First of all, I want to thank all those responsible for the 
event, and all those who participated. The event was 
significant for Serenity Systems and I'd like to relay a 
few of the reasons.

Serenity Systems established a relationship with SciTech 
involving support for Display Doctor with Managed 
Clients(r). "Support for various video chip sets and the 
higher resolutions is a challenge in the remote boot, 
remotely managed environment. The agreeement with SciTech 
will significantly increase the supported hardware for 
Managed Clients. This will likely mean that more 
organizations will be able to support Managed Clients on 
their current equipment, making the implemention more 
feasible in more organizations." according to Kim Cheung, 
Executive Director of Serenity Systems.

The relationship between SciTech and Serenity Systems will 
extend into future products. In addition to SciTech, 
Serenity Systems reached a preliminary agreement with 
Mensys in the Netherlands for the distribution of Managed 
Clients and CTI products. Exploratory discussions for a 
similar agreement are underway with a Mexican company for 
distribution to Latin American countries.

Serenity Systems also carried on discussions with some 
prominent OS/2 ISVs regarding further development of 
applications to integrate the Computer Telephony 
Integration products with the business desktop provided by 
the Managed Client.

The reality is ... it is the 4Q99. It will be difficult to 
execute in the next 60 to 90 days as all available 
resources are committed. Nonetheless, I believe the first 6 
months of 2000 may well be the most significant for OS/2 
since the Warp and Merlin rollouts. The next Warpstock is 
likely to be a much more exciting event as participants 
focus on what is and what is to come, and less focus falls 
on what was and what could have been.
