R. Bret Walker is a Certified NetWare Engineer who resides with his wife and two
children in the South Jersey/ Philadelphia Metro area. He first became exposed to OS/2 in 1995, when Sony in northern
New Jersey was looking for "an expert in NetWare who knows anything at all about OS/2." Although he ultimately turned
down the job, he has since become an OS/2 junkie. A huge fan of the cinematic arts, in his spare time he writes reviews
for and maintains The People's Reviews.

Indelible Blue closes its doors
On May 31, 2001, Indelible Blue, the premier software house for everything Warp-related, closed its doors for good. The company is being restructured as a Web development consulting firm called Prism Data Works. Prism Data Works is still offering eComStation to the Indelible Blue customers who preordered, as well as the WarpUp! CD product.
eCS Users and RSJ CD Writer
One of the special features of eComStation is the ability of the product to
run from CD, i.e. boot up and run the user's eCS desktop entirely from CD. eCS provides users with the ability to create a CD to take to the PC store and test drive the PCs in stock, while running their own eCS desktop. To facilitate this capability, Serenity Systems has reached an agreement with RSJ Software to include a 30 day trial period of the RSJ CD Writer for OS/2
with the eCS GA product. This special edition of the RSJ product includes an "eCS Demo CD Creator." Even after the 30 day RSJ CD Writer trial expires, and other functions are disabled, eCS users will still be able to burn their Personal eCS CDs. For more information, check out the RSJ Software website.
