Foreword
 Welcome to the November
2001 issue of MyAtari magazine. For many,
thirteen is an unlucky number... but not
for us! After recovering from our hangovers
as a result of the MyAtari birthday party
last month, the MyAtari team once again
bring you another cracking issue.
This month
we shall be bringing you (among other things)
the third installment of our Classic Atari
images series, an exclusive in-depth interview with Roger
Burrows of Anodyne Software, the results
of our Spot
the hard drive competition and a review of
the Best Electronics catalogue as well as
all the latest scene news and gossip.
I am also
pleased to announce that our advertising
campaign has gotten off to a flying start.
I have received a number of reports that
MyAtari banners have been spotted on quite
a few Atari sites. Well done everyone and
keep up the good work!
This month
we have two new banners for you to your
site (should you wish).
On a more
disappointing note, following requests for
article contributions in the previous two
issues of MyAtari, I am sorry to say that
we have only received a handful of offers!
Come on, don't you want MyAtari magazine
to see 2002?
Finally,
If you are yet to discover our exciting
new forum, you're really missing out! There
are currently discussions about where to
buy a Atari clothing, how to network ST's,
where to get new Jaguar games and hardware,
ST emulation and a great deal more... Check
it out and get involved ;-)
Regards,
Matthew Bacon,
Editor

 After 21 months of
sitting on its own cardboard
box, my
computer room's audio amplifier is to get
its own, specially-built stand. Right from
the beginning I wanted to use a slab of
marble but it never happened. Ironically,
I recently discovered a small local shop
that sells marble and granite.
Instead,
I bought a laminated wooden board which,
when cut in half, gave me two ideally dimensioned
panels to make a sandwich enclosure. Using
wood allows me to fit castors, so I can
easily slide the assembly out for maintenance,
something that becomes a high priority when
you realise how much time you waste just
trying to get access to things you want
to work on.
At the moment
the design includes a central beam to strengthen
the frame. To add mass for damping, I'll
probably fill the spaces with bricks or
cement. Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who
participated in promoting our first birthday
last month, that was just one simple way
of helping the magazine grow and prosper
for everyone to enjoy.
I'm glad
to say people are starting to respond to
our invitation to contribute. This whole
magazine exists by the generosity and talent
of enthusiasts just like yourself. If you've
got questions about contributing, drop me
a message. Your input is very welcome. Now
get stuck into the great articles your fellow
readers have been writing while MyAtari
was migrated to a more powerful server this
month.
