Learn How to Make Your Money Grow

June 15th - Money Tree

Don't let the lazy days of summer lull you into misguided financial bliss. It's just six months 'til Christmas. Are your finances in order or might you benefit from personal money management?

Since you are running OS/2, you're in luck. Dr. Bryan M. Minor, president and lead developer of Mt. Baker Software, will show us how Money Tree's object-oriented approach can help us keep on top of our personal finances.

With Money Tree, users can track multiple checking, savings, cash and credit card accounts as well as loans (mortgage and personal), insurance, and assets. The assets tracking includes stocks, bonds, money markets, mutual funds, and certificates of deposit. There are extensive reporting, graphing, check printing utilities, and a CheckFree bill payment service. Also, a number of financial "What If?' modules offer insights into investment planning.

You can find out more about Money Tree on the Mt. Baker Software homepage at:

The SIGs Add to Your Wealth of Knowledge

As usual, there will be a question and answer session after the presentation when you'll be able to seek solutions to problems or questions you've been facing with OS/2. Then the SIGs will follow after a short break:

General Interest Group - will explore the basics of REXX, what it is, what can be done with it, and what add-ons are available. As always, general questions and answers will follow.

Network - will start a series on client/server computing using OS/2 Warp Server.

Programmers - will continue with the Openclass library sample program. They will be looking at how to improve the appearance of the program window by using the various types of canvas classes and explore how to program font and color changes.

Don't forget that the Internet SIG meets on Monday evening, June 24th, at 7 PM.
