<*>*<*>*<*>›› PRESIDENTS MESSAGE› by ALEX PIGNATO›› Let me wish one and all A VERY› GOOD YEAR AND ABOVE ALL PEACE AND› PROSPERITY throughout the world!›› By now, all of those that sent› in their names have received the new› ATARI CLASSIC magazine. I found it› very interesting and instructive,› even as to those articles that were› beyond my comprehension. By reading› them I expanded my knowledge of what› the 8 BIT is and what it can do! As a› first issue, put together in under 6› weeks, it was impressive, however it› would have been better if it had› about 10 more pages, which is what is› aimed for in future issues.›› A very important part of the› magazine was the advertisements.› "What", you say? Thats right. Isn't› it nice to know that if you need or› want to buy something for the 8 BIT› you know you will find it in the 8› BIT magazine? I remember when there› was too much advertisement in ANTIC› and ANALOG, but now when there are so› few companies serving the 8 BIT› community, it's very nice to have› them under one (magazine) roof. They› also help sustain the magazine, So be› grateful for every little bit of help› subscribe to help keep ATARI CLASSIC› afloat. › Which reminds me to ask. Have› you sent in your subscription yet? At› least 500 subscriptions have to be› received by December 31, to continue› publication, so its very important› that you do not delay, even after the› December 31 date to show our support,› by sending in your subscriptions.› To change topics, I was very› happy and honored to receive a copy› of the D.O.M. from DALE WOOSTER.,› President of NWPAC (NORTH WEST› PHOENIX ATARI CLUB), which was a› compilation of the basic programs,› some with DOCS, that have appeared in› the OL' HACKER DISK NEWSLETTER. The 2› sided disk was very cleverly put› together, so that one can either run› the program or read the DOCS. I› thought so much of it that I had to› put a copy in our disk library, and› also to send a copy to my dear› friend, SAM CORY, Librarian of the› JACG (JERSEY ATARI COMPUTER GROUP.)› I'm glad that the programs we put in› the newsletter are so well received.› THANKS DALE, and NWPAC.›› Till next time›› *=*=*=*=*›
