The OS/2 Super Client Kim Cheung, Serenity Systems
Time: Location: Status:	Sunday 17th - 8:00 AM Biltmore I-II Scheduled	This session shows how a new OS/2 client can be implemented. For example, new applications, like search engines, financial modeling, simulations, and so forth are using "PC farms" to provide processing power. Every copy of an "Aurora" client would provide the most powerful client computing in the industry .. and multiple instances of Aurora can be run in one PC chassis using "on board" PCs. Each of these PCs, benefitting from multiple instances of OS/2's SMP and thread handling capabilities, would provide computing power and price performance without equal in the industry.

Time: Location: Status:	Sunday 17th - 10:30 AM Biltmore III Confirmed	What, graphics under OS/2? Publishing under OS/2? Web Design under OS/2? Yes, it's all possible. Chris Wright shows you how he creates his comic strip, "Help Desk" using 100% all OS/2 software. Then he shows you how it goes on his web site -- again, using all OS/2 software. Then he collapses from lack of coffee, b/c it's going to be VERY EARLY in the morning.

Migration from Windows to OS/2 - Why and How Tom Nadeau
Time: Location: Status:	Sunday 17th - 2:00 PM Capri Scheduled	One of the "dirty little secrets" of Windows is how difficult it is to perform a major PC upgrade. Just what are the problems with Windows that make upgrades a challenge? Will they ever be solved? How does OS/2 avoid these problems? What are the long-term economic benefits of migration to OS/2?
Eskimos need refrigerators, too! Really! Bob St. John - Serenity Systems
Time: Location: Status:	Sunday 17th - 3:30 PM Biltmore I-II Scheduled	How Consultants Can Make Money with OS/2. Computers as service has built-in, effective responses to many of the objections users have to OS/2. At the same time, it provides a high margin, recurring revenue stream for the consultant. So, let's make a list of the reasons users resist OS/2 in the accounts ... and then, let's take that wall down, brick by brick.

What support mechanisms are necessary to make OS/2 a more viable choice for more people? An overview of the macroeconomics of the software market is also included.
