ANNOUNCEMENT: POSSI MEETING FEBRUARY 12.

At the February meeting of the Phoenix OS/2 Society, we'll celebrate OS/2
and demonstrate how the operating system is successfully running a small
business. LUMATURE, in Scottsdale, will open its doors -- including the
door to the computer room! See firsthand every  aspect of this business
runs on networked computers using OS/2.

Lumature, a lighting and furniture store, has been using OS/2 as its only
operating system since 1994. Every business function is  performed by OS/2
Warp 4 workstations on a network powered by WSeB servers.

When and where: The store is located at 15620 North Scottsdale Rd, north
of Greenway, on the west side of the street. Although the LUMATURE
showroom closes to the public at 6:00pm, the doors will be open to members
of the user group (and operating-system curious visitors!); staff will
demonstrate and answer questions.

Want more detail?  Hardware and OS/2 software used by Lumature include:

* WISEMANAGER from Serenity Systems, used to remote boot the diskless IBM
NetStations from a WSeB RIPL server. * SMACK! is used to print custom
showroom price tags and labels. * CLEARLOOK word processing. * PMFAX
(network version) has been in daily use for many years. * INJOY FIREWALL
for Internet access.
* PMMAIL E-mail client.
* INETMAIL E-mail server.
* DOMINO GOwebSERVER  run  http://www.lumature.com
* SMARTSUITE and STAROFFICE are used to open documents received in almost
any format.  * Accounting software is 16-bit DOS, run in a VDM. * HOUSE/2
home automation software.

Experience how every light fixture, table lamp, and wall light in the
showroom is controlled from 'virtual' switches created on showroom
workstation screens. Using the HOUSE/2, every display fixture can be
turned ON, OFF, or DIMMED from the showroom computers. Every light can be
addressed individually or as a member of a group. Using an ELO-TOUCH
touchscreen monitor in the showroom (with OS/2 drivers) it is very easy to
control the hundreds of light fixtures in the store.
