May 6, 1999 Meeting Announcement
Symantec and Enfish
Our May, 1999 meeting will feature Symantec and their newly released SystemWorks 2.0. This latest, award-winning, #1 rated system utility set combines several previously separate Symantec and Quarterdeck packages into a single, completely unified utility set. The utilities included are Norton AntiVirus 5.0, Norton Utilities 4.0, Norton CrashGuard, Norton Web Services, and Norton CleanSweep. CleanSweep was a Quarterdeck product; Symantec purchased Quarterdeck several months ago. We'll also feature Enfish, and see a demonstration of their unique document management package Tracker Pro. See the review of this package in the January, 1999 issue of Diablo Blue (at www.dvpc.org/blue/jan99/page11.html). It is a program that automatically indexes your files, email, and web pages in the background as you use them (and deletes references when you delete files), and provides an interface for locating any piece of information in those files.
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 15). 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 main meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. From 6:30 to 7:00 we'll have the New User's SIG meeting; you can visit the Networking Table if you have something to sell or trade, need technical help, or just want to exchange views; and, as usual, we'll have library disks and those great DVPC mugs (version 2) for sale. The main meeting will include SIG news, random access, our program, and some of our usual great door prizes. See you at this month's meeting!

President's Corner
By Alan Mildwurm, DVPC
With elections behind us, your Board is working hard to assume their duties of running the club. To give you an idea of hard we work - and how diligent each of us is in our tasks - I can proudly report that we exchanged 27 emails - including two original poems - just to move the Board meeting ahead one week to accommodate the spring break. My guess is that there isn't another club that can boast of this level of Board participation. Speaking of participation, we are now up to our full complement of 11 Board members (see page 14). With this many on the Board, we may need to order another pizza at our meetings. I am sure many weighty discussions will go into that decision. Beyond that, we hope that with the extra people on the board, we can expand our activities in the "PR" realm and ultimately increase the membership.
We have a rather full and interesting calendar of presentations coming up. (See the calendar elsewhere in this issue). We are also planning a Y2K presentation and a (Continued on page 2)
