FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Santa Barbara, Calif. January 20, 1990 - The Silicon Beach Operation,
Inc. today announced it will launch OS/2 Magazine, a full-color, monthly
magazine for users of OS/2, Presentation Manager and Windows on all
hardware platforms.
The Premier issue of OS/2 Magazine will debut in June at COMDEX and
will include hard news, commentary, reviews, editorials and interviews.
OS/2 Magazine will cover industry and technology highlights, new hardware
and software products as well as in depth profiles of the companies and
people that will make OS/2 the dominant computing environment of the 90's.
OS/2 Magazine will also offer special coverage each month to Micro-
soft Windows (Presentation Manager for DOS), along with product reviews,
news and help to users as they migrate from DOS/Windows to OS/2.
OS/2 networking coverage will include helpful hints and tips on
getting started, implementation, administration and trouble shooting.
Networking articles will include "how-to" solutions and reviews of
workgroup software and hardware.
OS/2 Magazine will also devote a section, to software engineering in
the OS/2 Presentation Manager environment. Topics will include languages,
programming techniques, debugging, tools, CASE (computer aided software
engineering) and OOPS (object oriented programming) technologies.
OS/2 Magazine offers an OS/2 and Windows only BBS, with 1200/2400

facilities, public domain OS/2 programs, e-mail and tele-conferencing
capabilities. The OS/2 Magazine ONLINE BBS number is (805)-685-0589.
"OS/2 Magazine will offer readers a refreshing "hands-on" approach.
It will serve both as a valuable information resource for OS/2 users and
as a barometer for corporate MIS, business and government decision makers
to help them determine when and how to best get started," said editor,
Dave Nelson . "Our objective is to provide timely, detailed information
covering the entire range of OS/2 and Windows issues - to be the one-stop
OS/2/Windows shop, so to speak."
OS/2 Magazine will be sold on the newstand, and distributed to paid
subscribers and through controlled subscriptions to the fortune 1000,
government users and to computer resellers.
Total distribution of the premiere spring Comdex issue will exceed
70,000 copies, including a special distribution of 20,000 copies at
COMDEX/Spring 1990 in Atlanta, GA.

consecutive insertions, the fourth will be free.

I recently received a magazine from IBM called "Personal Systems" (or "IBM Personal systems Technical Solutions - Operating System/2") that had a number of technical articles on OS/2 - this was issue #2 1990, so I guess it's new. "To subscribe, use an IBM System Library Subscription Service (SLSS) form, available at IBM brances, and specify form number GBOF-1229." The call number on the back is G325-5006-00. Also, Microsoft Systems Journal has always had a good proportion of OS/2-related articles.
