| Warpdoctor Meeting at Sunday 14 August 2005 at 3:00pm EST (19:00 GMT) (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| I apologize for the incorrect Warpdoctor announcements issued in the past few weeks. This one is for real. Honest. There *will* be a WarpDoctor chat meeting on Sunday 14 August 2005 at the above time. Visit http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc for timezone help. To find the server closest to you, go to http://www.webbnet.info . #warpdoctor can be found on any of these servers. You can use any of those server addresses to initialize your IRC client, or alternatively, click on the link at the bottom of the page, and load a Java IRC applet to immediately start your chat session. I have tried this applet, and it is remarkably quick, and simple to use. Agenda ++++++ 1. New release of the browser plugin. 2. Discussion of the browser incompatibility issue. "The objective of WarpDoctor is to support the information, software, and hardware needs of the OS/2 Community. WarpDoctor will provide a support facility with the goal of assisting the OS/2 Community in efforts to resolve problems and provide guidance on system operation, tuning and selection. Everyone is welcome!" Everyone is welcome! Thanks! Walter F. Metcalf Warpdoctor Co-ordinator walter.os2DESPAM@DESPAMrogers.com -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
