BIZNIX MEETING

The combines BizNix/PANUG meeting will be held tomorrow,
Thursday, November 21 at 6:15 pm at Novell's office in Tigard.
The presentation will be given by David May and Ed Sawicki.
The topic will be Task-Oriented Computing and will:

1. cover the notion of using the best possible tool for the
job regardless of platform. (Yes, Windows may offer the best
possible solution for some tasks and users)

2. contrast the ways that computing solutions using commercial
software differ from free software. This includes where you
get your support from, how long it takes to fix problems, etc.

3. suggest that many computer users are capable of using
tools that IT staff consider too hard to use.

4. examples of practical applications using non-commercial
software.

and more...   


NOVELL TRAINING
by Ed Sawicki - Accelerated Learning Center / Tailored Computers

One of the very few valid reasons I hear for people switching
from NetWare to other operating systems is lack of training in
Portland. The few (or one?) training companies that do offer
NetWare training here cancel most (or all?) NetWare classes.
Now there's a solution. 

TouchStone Technology is a new Novell Authorized Education
Center in Portland and they have a no-cancel policy! They'll
teach a one-person class if necessary, though their typical
class is about six people. PANUG members get a discount.

While they're a new NAEC, they're old hands at teaching NetWare.
Randy Voshell, Master CNI, CDE, etc has been teaching NetWare
for 7 years and has been using NetWare as an engineer since
1983. 

They are teaching a 995- Directory Technologies class next
week. Check our their website at www.touchstonetech.com for
class schedules and information. If you register for a
course mention that you are a PANUG member to earn a discount.
