Larry plans to conduct a brief listing of a number of recent
IBM Software Choice and other new OS/2 and Linux releases of
interest. Come hear all about it!
  
MAIN PRESENTATION: Freedom from Microsoft
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look Ma, no hands, and No Microsoft!
  
July is Microsoft-free month at PASUG. What does it take to
compute without using any software from Microsoft?
  
This month we'll take a look at what it takes to compute without
using any software from Microsoft, from the operating system to
office suite, to Web browser. A selection of alternate programs
for the most universally needed functions by computer users will
be presented. Several may also be demonstrated, if available.
  
It is possible. It doesn't make any difference if you decide to
use OS/2 or Linux. Make your choice and go for it.
