| OS/2 For You At a GlanceDecember 2001Newsletter of the Southern California OS/2 User Group
 
 SCOUG's December MeetingDecember is always rousing at SCOUG.  By popular demand, Steven Levine will show us what CID is all about.   Steven will start a CID installation of OS/2 at the beginning of the meeting and we'll see how it goes.  That's how we'll start.  We'll end with Gary Wong explaining what he does to bring us his Download! column every month.  In between, we'll have a super  presentation, Q&A, and a big holiday raffle with items donated by our members.  Check the web site for information about this month's 
meeting topics

 A Sneak Preview of the Virtual PCAt our Nov. 2001 meeting, Kim Cheung of Serenity Systems gave us a taste of the future, and it is interesting indeed.  The idea behind a virtual PC is simple - create an assumed hardware platform and then have various operating systems run on that assumed profile.
