›          PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE›           by Jack Gedalius››       November--December, 1999››› At our November meeting we all worked› on  how  to  work  the newsletter now› that Al Sharkis is stepping down from› his role as editor.  We will all miss› his expertise and dedication for  his› many years of service.›› Al  opened  his  home  to  us for the› December meeting.  There,  we  had  a› delicious lunch.  ›› Then,  we  filed  upstairs   to   his› magnificent  computer  room.   On his› PC, Al demonstrated an Atari emulator› by playing the classic Chicken Game. › We then saw a SIO2PC cable connection› in  action  when  Al  transferred   a› section of our future newsletter from› the   Atari  8-bit  to  his  PC.   He› accomplished   this   by  using  U.S.› Copier software  on  THE  ATARI.   He› then    showed   anothe   method   of› transferring  files  from  the  Atari› disk drive to the PC without using an› Atari computer.  ›› Al  received  a  CD  disk from Sage. › This disk plays on the  PC.   It  was› beautifully  done  on  the history of› the Atari.  It even contained all the› Ol'Hackers'    newsletters.     These› demoes  were  terrific in showing how› the   two  computer  systems  can  be› merged.  ›› We wish  everyone  a  healthy  and  a› happy new year.  ›› Don't  forget  your  dues   for   the› millenium!››› BYE FOR NOW,› JACK GEDALIUS›› >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>END<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<›››
