<*>*<*>*<*>¢¢ 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¢¢ *=*=*=*=*¢
