Warpstock 2005 will take place in less than a month, beginning Thursday, October 6th at the Wyndham Harrisburg Hershey hotel. Four days of non-stop OS/2 and eComStation classes, presentations, product demos and discussion. Please see the schedule of presentations listed at

It has come to our attention that some credit cards were being denied since they were with banks outside North America. We apologize for this inconvenience and if you were trying to register at our online store and received a "512" error message that you now try purchasing your registration again. We have updated the settings at our credit card processor and have been led to believe that the changed setup will process the transactions. If you have a problem with transactions at the store, please email:

[email protected]

with a description of the problem. We can in most cases, process the transaction manually once we are aware that an error has occurred without compromising your credit card number.

We also suggest that if you DO receive an error message from the store when trying to conclude a transaction, that you DO NOT RETRY the transaction. Each attempt will send a request to your financial institution to allocate funding for the pending transaction, and may reduce your available credit line for a period time that is determined by your financial institution. Just send an email to:

[email protected]

and we will handle the transaction manually, and send you a email confirmation.

Thanks for supporting Warpstock and I look forward to seeing many of you again in Hershey.
