REGISTRATION
This year's Warpstock in Denver, Colorado from October 21-24, will provide four days
of traditional presentations, and, new this time around -- expanded classes. You can
register for a single day, or for all four days. For the first time, we're offering a bundled
price that includes all four days, plus both social events. You can save yourself some
serious cash by registering before August 15. Registering now also makes planning
the event a little easier.
Classes are on a first-come, first-served basis, as the number of people that can be
accommodated in each class is limited. Please note that not all classes are included
in the base registration price.

Warpstock 2004 has payment plans for early registration. These require credit card
payment, for either three or four monthly payments. If you're on a budget, this makes
Warpsttock a lot more affordable! (Note that you'll have to sign up for the EZ Pay plan

days and two socials for $57 per month.

network that centralizes data storage and printers, with easy point-to-point
communications. Topics include:
- setting up a variety of TCP/IP services
- communicating via an ISP (NAT)
- security and safety (anti-virus and backup), including connecting OS/2 and eComStation to a windows network.
Dr. Clayton will also discuss Injoy's FX firewall, which ships with the company's dialer
product.

strategic interest, and migration considerations for OS/2-eCS users. Mr. Mark is Senior

Was It Broken Before You Started?
Presenter Chuck McKinnis has been an OS/2 user since the beta days of 1989, and
has Rexx programming experience from IBM's first release of the product. Mr. McKinnis
retired from IBM in 1992 after 26 years as a systems engineer. He now operates a
private consulting practice, and is the author of the eCS Maintenance Tool and the

arguing is permitted and encouraged."
