Subject: OS/2 Wireless Users List: Warpstock 2003

Charles, as always, thanks for your kind words. I'm thinking that a 
general overview of the hardware options available to us, the 
differences in operation between Win setups & OS/2 (instructions are, 
predictably, aimed toward Win users, without regard to the limitations 
or altered functionality of other OSes), and the security concerns of 
home, SOHO, and enterprise applications would be the best way to 
approach the presentation.

As to your question concerning where, Warpstock is slated for San 
Francisco this year. :-)
