Nathan Woodruff Quick N Easy Finance I started Quick and Easy in 2005 because my personal finance program Quicken 98 was no longer supported and working on Windows XP. I took many accounting classes in my college years and knew that I could develop a program in OS/2 PM that was better and easier to use than the professional programs available for OS/2 or the programs listed on Hobbes.edu. I mentioned it to a few people in a OS/2 chat group on AOL(remember that?) and they suggested that I start a yahoo group. Not only did a number of people show interest, the Yahoo group swelled to over 250 members in a year or so. Ever since then I have strived to make the program the best personal finance program out there for OS/2 - eCS. I spent my professional career from 1989 to 2001 developing OS/2 pm programs for a number of companies. I consider myself to be the best OS/2 native pm programmer left that still actively develops for OS/2 today.

David Azarewicz The Trouble with Tickets Reviews the important points of creating a support ticket, how to make sure your ticket is addressed quickly, as well as some of the things that might delay progress on your ticket. Includes some specific tips and tricks that you can use if you don't want anyone to work on your ticket. Warning: may contain real-life examples from actual tickets. View at your own risk.

Lewis Rosenthal Ins and Outs of ArcaOS Licensing In this session, Lewis Rosenthal, Managing Member of Arca Noae, LLC, will discuss various aspects of the ArcaOS licensing model, from multiple virtual machines to counting bare metal workstations, and how these reconcile with IBM's underlying OS/2 licensing model. In addition, how do various licensed Arca Noae drivers and software (available for Warp and eCS) work in conjunction with an existing ArcaOS license, and how do ArcaOS reserved features work in terms of their licensing restrictions.

David Azarewicz Device Driver Update A brief recap of some of the things that have been done with ArcaOS device drivers in the past year, and what is being worked on now. Includes some interesting details about the inner workings of some of the drivers.

Lewis Rosenthal ArcaOS update In this session, Lewis Rosenthal, Managing Member of Arca Noae, LLC, will discuss the extended maintenance cycle for the 5.0 release and the current status of 5.1 development. The session will include information on support renewals for 5.0 now and after the 5.1 release, as well as planned localized 5.1 versions.
