   About the speaker:
   -----------------
   As spokesperson for RhinoCom, Kristin McCown is frequently quoted on 
   OS/2 communications and the industry in general.  With degrees in 
   Computer Science and Engineering, Kristin is a master at making the 
   technically difficult seem trivial and easy.  With a recently 
   completed Toastmasters International CTM, Kristin is eager to try out 
   her well-honed speaking skills on that toughest of audiences - the 
   OS/2 User Groups!
     
FUTURE SIG FEATURES
     
   Watch for sessions on PMMail and an update from IBM/Lotus.  We will 
   make every effort to schedule product-oriented presentations soon 
   after their respective vendors have made available significant new 
   releases.

INTERESTING OS/2-RELATED WEB SITES
     
   In our meanderings on the World Wide Web (WWW) we learned of some WWW 
   sites of interest to OS/2 folks.  This is by no means a complete list 
   but is included here for your enjoyment.  If you know of a WWW site 
   that you think is of particular interest to SIG members, please let 
   us know and we'll list it in a future newsletter.
