For Immediate Release
Microsoft Stages World's Largest User Group Meeting
for MS-DOS 6 Introduction
Over 600 members of The Personal Computer Club witness live
satellite broadcast
TORONTO, Ont. March 30, 1993 This evening, Bill Gates,
chairman and C.E.O. of Microsoft Corporation, will host the
presentation of the newest version of Microsoft's MS-DOS6
operating system to over 15,000 PC user group members via
satellite connection to 15 cities across North America.
Participating in this precedent-setting event will be the
600 member Personal Computer Club of Toronto. Other Canadian
regional events are being held concurrently in Vancouver,
Winnipeg and Montreal.
"We are delighted that Microsoft has asked our members to
participate in this event and thereby recognizes the
importance and influence of the whole user group community
here in Toronto and across Canada," said Geoffrey Cooper,
president of the PCCT. "MS-DOS 6 has certainly been
generating a lot of interest and excitement within the
membership.
"We have an adage in the computer business these days that
`whatever hard disk space you have is never enough'. It's a
refreshing change to find a product of this significance
that actually helps extend the utility of PC users' existing
equipment, rather than demanding more of the equipment, or
requiring new equipment in order to run."
The Personal Computer Club of Toronto is celebrating its
10th anniversary this year, and is a volunteer, non-profit
organization. The PCCT is also affiliated with APCHUG the
worldwide association of personal computer user groups.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (NASDAQ "MSFT") is the worldwide
leader in software for personal computers. The company
offers a wide range of products and services for business
and personal use, each designed with the mission of making
it easier and more enjoyable for people to take advantage of
the full power of personal computing everyday.
