<**><**>¢ PRESIDENTS MESSAGE¢ by ALEX PIGNATO¢¢ This newsletter is loaded with¢ articles and many programs that we,¢ (the EDITOR and myself, (grin)) think¢ are worthwhile to pass along to you¢ our members. I would like some¢ FEEDBACK from YOU, so please take a¢ moment and use your word processor to¢ drop me a note with your honest¢ comments. ¢¢ The program that loads when you¢ hit the Space Bar, on side 1,¢ "EXTBASMK.BAS", should be in¢ everyone's personal library.¢ "NITEFLY.BAS" is for the flying buffs,¢ you have to land your plane, and¢ believe me its hard to land that¢ sucker, but it can be done with¢ practice. Buying a home? Side 2 has¢ "HOMELOAN.BAS", a wonderfull aid to¢ help you determine if you can afford¢ the castle you are planning to buy!¢ Also on side two are two programs that¢ will test your addition, subtraction,¢ multiplication and division skills.¢ You can make it as hard or easy as you¢ wish, just by changing a couple of¢ numbers. They are great tools for¢ parents trying to help their children¢ with basic arithmatic skills. They¢ are "MATHADSU.BAS" and "MATHMUDI.BAS.¢ Try "RENUMBER.BAS" program for a fast¢ complete renumbering of your own¢ programs.¢ ¢ At the last two meetings we were¢ treated to a virtual reality of ATARI¢ software. One 6 foot table was loaded¢ with more software than I ever saw in¢ any store even in the Heyday of ATARI.¢ Thanks to JOHN HARDIE who had bought¢ out a warehouse of ATARI stuff we were¢ able to buy all sorts of software¢ from him at prices ranging from $1.00¢ to $3.00. I still haven't had a chance¢ to try all the stuff I bought. Maybe¢ when JOHN has a chance he will catalog¢ these items and we can distribute the¢ list to our members. (See-another good¢ reason to belong to OHAUG!)¢ THANKS JOHN FOR THINKING OF US AND¢ HAULING THE STUFF TO MEETINGS. JOHNS¢ phone number is (516) 568 9768 just¢ in case you can't wait.¢¢ As you will see as you go through¢ this newsletter, there is more of¢ both text and programs for you to¢ enjoy, so go to it.¢ Till next time!!!¢ *+*+*¢¢
