MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT:
NEW "NetVertising" COMPUTER TO DEBUT
AT TBOUG's JUNE 4TH MEETING
The next meeting of the Tampa Bay OS/2 Users' Group will be held Wednesday
evening, June 4th at IBM's LakePointe offices in Tampa.
PRE-MEETING (6:00 - 7:00)
Continuing with our discussions on the Internet, the pre-meeting will
describe the In-Joy Internet dialer, an OS/2 based program to access the
Internet via your favorite Internet Service Provider (ISP). In-Joy is
produced as shareware by Bjarne Jensen of Europe and can be obtained at
http://www.belle.dk/~bj/dialer.html or http://www.fx.dk
MAIN MEETING (7:30 - 9:00)
"NetVertising"
Our next meeting will feature the debut of a totally new product for the
Internet, the Internet Advertising Computer (IAC) from M. Bryce & Associates,
Inc. (MBA) and John Meroth of Mersoft. The IAC is a complete turnkey
solution for small and medium businesses who wish to promote their products
through the World Wide Web. It is primarily aimed at companies who are not
Internet savvy yet want to capitalize on this exciting new advertising
medium. In particular, the IAC is ideally suited for merchants who deal in
products of different "makes and models" where it is necessary to display
their goods; some examples:
- Automotive dealerships
- Yacht brokers
- Airplane dealers
- Real estate agents
- Jewelers
- Antique dealers
- Furniture dealers
- Appliance stores
- Fashion/clothing
- Sporting Goods
- Hardware
- Trading card dealers
ANY COMPANY THAT CURRENTLY MAKES USE OF PRINTED CATALOGS TO DISPLAY THEIR
GOODS WILL FIND THE IAC A COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO PRINTED BROCHURES
THAT RAPIDLY GO OUT OF DATE.
As a product, the IAC includes a complete Personal Computer with a Digital
Camera that is ready to use "out of the box." All of the hardware and software
necessary to produce high-quality web pages is included for use by office or
sales personnel with minimal knowledge of computing. If you know how to point
and click a mouse, you'll know how to use the IAC; THE EMPHASIS IS ON
SIMPLICITY AND EASE OF USE.
The platform for the IAC? OS/2 of course, which is primarily why TBOUG was
selected for the product's debut. The speakers will be Tim Bryce of MBA and
John Meroth of Mersoft, both are early members of TBOUG and reside in the
Tampa Bay area.
If you are a merchant who is interested in presenting your products to
Net surfers in the Tampa Bay area, the whole State of Florida, or the
+40 million Internet users in the United States (as reported by "Business Week"),
you will not want to miss this presentation. If you are an Internet Service
Provider (ISP), you should also plan on attending to find out how you can also
benefit from this new product.
COMING IN JULY!
For our July 9th meeting, Citrix has graciously accepted our invitation to
give a presentation. Plan now to attend this hot topic!

association dedicated to the effective use of IBM's OS/2 operating system.
Members of TBOUG are OS/2 licensees from around the Tampa Bay area of

membership and the company must appoint an official voting delegate. The
price for an annual corporate membership is $200.*
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP allows an individual to join the user group and
entitles him/her to the same rights and privileges as the corporate
member, except the individual has a one-tenth (1/10) membership vote.
The price for an individual membership is $20.*
* Membership fees are prorated on a quarterly basis (operating year
is January to December).
The association is governed by a set of bylaws and an Executive Board.
Members can attend meeting functions (monthly meetings and committee
