August 6 Meeting Announcement
Microsoft Windows 98 and Communications Bandwidth
Windows 98 has shipped, and
it's time to leave all of the generalities behind and begin concentrating on those tips
and tricks that will let us take full advantage of this new version. We'll have Jan
Roycroft of Microsoft at our August meeting to tell us some of the secret,
behind-the-scenes information about this new version of the favorite operating system of
most DVPC members. Learn how to make Windows 98 work the way you want it to work -
come to the August meeting and get the real inside scoop! Amaze your friends, neighbors,
and relatives! They will gasp with astonishment at your technical prowess! You, too, will
become a Windows 98 guru!
Then, DVPC's own Charlie Crothers (travel schedule willing) will tell us all about
communications bandwidth and how to maximize and get the most throughput from the
alternative communications technologies that are available today: dial-up using POTS (the
Plain Old Telephone System), ISDN, DSL, cable modem, satellite, and even more.
DVPC meetings are held in the lobby conference room in Building B at the Bank of America
Technology Center office complex in Concord, located near the northeast corner of Clayton
Road at Galindo (see the Map to Monthly Meetings on page 14). Please use the main entrance
of the building, which is in the center of the front of the building that faces Clayton
road.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. The New User's SIG has their
meeting from 6:30 to 7:00. We'll also have the Networking Table from 6:30 to 7:00; if you
have something to sell or trade, need technical help, or just want to exchange views,
visit the Networking Table. Also, as usual, we'll have library disks and those great DVPC
mugs (version 2) for sale, SIG news, random access, and some of our usual great door
prizes. See you at the meeting!
