In the late¢ afternoon, the water on most streets¢ was above the headlights or above the¢ door entrances of the cars. This was¢ one of the heaviest rainfalls the New¢ York area ever experienced.¢¢ The OL' HACKERS ATARI USERS GROUP¢ presented a plaque to Alex's wife,¢ Marie, in order to express our¢ devotion and appreciation to our late¢ president.¢¢ The club learned in our November¢ meeting, of the passing of JIM HOOD,¢ of Concord, California, who was¢ editor-in-chief of ATARI CLASSICS.¢¢ Al Sharkis discussed different¢ emulators for the Atari and the IBM¢ compatible computers. He said that¢ many new types are being developed.¢¢ Jim Harris has moved to Mass. The¢ New Nest bulletin board has been¢ taken over by Patrick Mulvey.
