Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 17:51:03 -0500 From: Steven Allen Subject: Boston Windows User Group February 22 Meeting Monday, February 22, 1999 ------------------------- Utilities: PartitionMagic v4 and McAfee Office ============================================== Boston Windows User Group ------------------------- 7:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Speakers at 8:00 --------------------- A review of commercial utilities by teams of BWUG members. Bob Smith reports on PartitionMagic, v4. This is the improved utility for changing the size of partitions and the file systems on partitions of your hard disks. PM now handles drives over 8 GB (Win9x), makes Linux partitions and has an improved interface. We reviewed the previous version in our September 97 meeting. Rajesh Nanda reports on McAfee Office. This is a collection of utilities from the several companies that merged a year ago to form Network Associates. It includes the familiar VirusScan as well as Nut&Bolts, (CyberMedia) UnInstaller, OilChange, 2000 ToolBox and some others. We have some cautions along with the evaluations. Location: Microsoft's Multipurpose Room, 6th floor, 230 Third Ave, Waltham, MA, which has Parking and has Wheelchair access. Bad Weather: Look at http://www.bwug.org for a change in the "traffic light" associated with the meeting - it's green for go, yellow for caution and red for cancel. Alternately call Microsoft NE's Events phone 800-448-9560, which will carry a cancellation announcement. Directions: Take Route 95/128 to Exit 27A. Go south on Third Ave passing between the northbound 95/128 and the Westin Hotel. Reaching Third Ave requires a U-turn to the right from the northbound 95/128 exit or a "cross the overpass and turn right" from the southbound 95/128 exit. From Third Ave, turn left onto Fourth Ave immediately after the Westin. Go to end, turn right and follow signs for Prospect Place. Bear right at the fork and follow signs to Visitor Parking. Lobby is on second floor.
