ONE BBSCON Atlanta, Georgia AUGUST 17 thru 21
The ONLINE World once again meets this time in Atlanta, GA..
The leading conference and tradeshow for bulletin board
systems and other services recieved an audience of more than
5,000 to last year's 3,000. This was the third such event in
as many years, first one being held in Denver, Colorado and
last years in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
This years conference held over 150 sessions covering online
business and technicial issues. Highlights of the 5 day event
were the Ziff Davis Awards and the Dvoark Awards.
From the tradeshow floor the highlight was the debute of a
new Software package called "LANUS" by Lanus, Inc..
Lanus is a Lan-based networking package whereby one connects
one PC to another and share data/applications. A 10
workstation package was offered to Sysops at an amazing price
of $49.95. This price of $49.95 should put the computer world
on it's ear and hopefully NOVELL, Inc & Lantastic are
listening. This is DOS based only only takes from 10 to 30
minutes to install. Of all the items offered on the showroom
floor this is by far the BEST there was in my humble opinion.
I even took it home myself to test it and now have 6 computers
(PC's) linked together with a dedicated file-server. Hey FOLK's
its GREAT!
Back to the show itself, Dennis Hayes of Hayes Modems was the
Keynote speaker. Just prior to Dennis Hayes address we were
all presented by a laser light show put on by Phil Becker of
Esoft & Boardwatch Magazine. From the opening excitement to
it's conclusion one attending could only wonder of what would
be better at next years show to be held in Tampa, Florida.
If you haven't been then start saving your pennies, this is
a must attend event for anyone using a modem.
By the way if your interested in more information on LANUS
call them by voice at: (501) 228-9840
