Sundial Banishes June Gloom...See What's New

The big news at Sundial Systems is the just-released new version of
their premier spreadsheet application, Mesa 2. Come and see the
highlights, especially the major enhancements to Mesa's real-time
data feed capabilities. Mesa is unique in that it allows external
programs to "feed" data into spreadsheets, with the changes updated
immediately. (One instance of this capability was when Program
Chairman Mark Abramowitz showed us how he used Mesa's real-time feed
to monitor the election returns when he ran for his position on the
Yorba Linda Water Board). The expanded feed capabilities got a lot of
attention when they debuted at WarpTech a couple of weeks ago.

Lest Mesa might not be enough, Sundial will also show us Junk Spy.
It's their anti-spam program that was released earlier this year, and
owes a lot of its' design to feedback from SCOUG members. And, there
may be more... Randell Flint and Rollin White always put on a good
show, so you won't want to miss this presentation. If you can't wait,
visit Sundial on the web at:

  http://www.sundialsystems.com 

After that, we'll have Q&A, a raffle, and two of our SIGs will meet
after a short break:

Programming SIG: Project Odin (http://www.netlabs.org/odin/) was the
big buzz at last month's WarpTech. The SIG will take a technical look
at Odin, how to install it, how to use it, and what limitations must
be planned for. Is Odin ready for prime time? Come and find out for
yourself.

General Interest Group: We've got several things planned:
a) Demo using a DOS emergency disk for those "ugly" times
b) Actually do an installation/demo of Ghostscript and the EMX 
   runtime
c) Decide on the next few months of SIG topics
d) Time permitting, hook up Tony Butka's test machine to the Heritage
   DSL connection and see if we can get it to run.

Help Desk chats now happen on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If
you've got a problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask
for help. For further info, go to:

Monday, June 19, 7 PM PDT meetings at Eastside Christian Schools
(Heritage Campus):

The OS/2 Help Desk will have volunteers giving you hands-on
assistance solving your hardware and software problems. Bring your
system and all related hardware and software, along with a detailed
description of your problem.

The Networking SIG will meet at the same time and place as the OS/2
Help Desk. They'll be providing help to members setting up a peer
network and connecting their local LAN to the Internet via a cable
modem connection, DSL connection, or a dial-up connection via an
ISP.

Thursday, June 22, 7 PM PDT meetings at Eastside Christian Schools
(Heritage Campus):

The Sundial SIG will learn more about Mesa 2 macros and real-time
data feeds. There's no homework this month, so there's nothing to
fear.


How to get to Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus):

The Eastside Christian School (Heritage Campus) in Anaheim is at 2528
W. La Palma Ave. It is on the south side of the street (about 200 ft.
E of Magnolia) on the Grace Baptist Church property. It's a 2-story
office building close to La Palma Ave. with the address of 2528 up
near the roof. (It's between 2 large apartment complexes and can be
easily missed). Look for the SCOUG banner (if you are driving
eastbound on La Palma Ave.) and/or a sign with the words "New Hope
Christian Center". Turn in (south) there. Park in the front lot. For
the general meeting, go up the stairs in the middle of the building
along the parking-lot side. For the weeknight SIGs, go in at the
middle on the ground floor and down the hall to your right.

Freeway exits: (subject to change due to freeway construction on I-5
and the 91 freeways):
1) North I-5 (from central/south Orange County): the Brookhurst/La
   Palma exit has re-opened. Get off at Brookhurst/La Palma and turn
   left (going west over I-5). The school/church will be on your left
   side.
2) South I-5 (from Los Angeles): take the Magnolia exit and turn
   right going south. Turn left on La Palma Ave; the school/church
   will be on your right side.
3) West 91 freeway (from the Inland Empire, etc): take the Magnolia
   exit and turn left going south.  Turn left on La Palma Ave; the
   school/church will be on your right side.
4) East 91 freeway: take the transition to I-5 south.  Stay to your
   right and take the Magnolia exit. Turn right going south. Turn
   left on La Palma Ave; the school/church will be on your right
   side.
