Author and Former Apple Executive Guy Kawasaki to Address Gathering of Wireless E-Mail Users
SAN MATEO, Calif. — October 6, 1993 — Guy Kawasaki, best-selling author and former director of software product management at Apple Computer, will deliver the keynote address at the RadioMail Users Group (RMUG) meeting in the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, Calif., 7:30 p.m., Nov. 3.
The RMUG meeting, held in conjunction with the EMAIL WORLD conference, is open to the public.
Kawasaki will speak on "Selling the Dream" — using evangelistic zeal to mobilize people to support a product, company or idea — to users and prospective users of RadioMail, a wireless communication service that lets portable computer users send and receive messages anywhere and anytime.
Jim Opfer, RMUG president, said the open meeting is intended to introduce users of electronic mail, pagers, cellular phones and others interested in portable two-way messaging to the pioneers of "always connected" messaging.
"Wireless e-mail is not only an incredible productivity enhancement, it makes our lives less complicated and lets us do things that were impossible before," Opfer said. "Messages and important information travel through the ether to find RadioMail users wherever we are. Likewise, we can respond from anyplace, whenever we choose. There's no need to be wired to a session over a phone line or computer cable."
Kawasaki, a RadioMail user and one of the key players in the success of the Apple Macintosh, left Apple in 1987 to form his own software company. He is the author of four books on management and computer technology: The Macintosh Way, Database 101, Selling the Dream, and The Computer Curmudgeon.
The RMUG meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. with a social gathering at the Santa Clara Convention Center, 5001 Great America Parkway, Santa Clara, Calif. A brief business session is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. followed by the keynote address at 7:30 p.m.
RadioMail service, available from RadioMail Corporation of San Mateo, Calif., operates over the Ram Mobile Data and ARDIS radio frequency networks and can be accessed by portable computing devices equipped with an RF modem. RadioMail currently supports the Hewlett-Packard HP95LX and HP100LX, DOS-based portable computers, and Apple Macintosh PowerBook and PowerBook Duo.
