TCS - Super Saturday Report
Super Saturday Report
by Don Singleton
Tulsa Computer Society
From the November 1997 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter
Questions during the OnLine Communication meeting started with how can you talk with someone in another country, which led to a discussion of email, for private written communication, to the use of UseNet News Groups, where public messages are posted on 20,000 to 40,000 different newsgroups which are available all over the world, to the use of products like NetMeeting, CoolTalk, Internet Phone, for scheduled voice discussions, to video conferencing programs like CUSEEME. A question of how can you find a person's email address led to a demonstration of several services that attempt to do that, including showing where one could also find a person in a telephone directory in another city, and then get a map showing where their house was, and then get written instructions telling how to get there from a different street address, city, and state.
I was using the new Internet Explorer 4.0, and it prompted questions both during the OnLine Communication meeting, and certainly in the Internet meeting, where it was the specific topic of the meeting.
