It  deals what› members of an organization owe to the› group,  and  it's important reading. › There are  very  interesting  article› taken  from  The  Washington Post and› The Associated Press.  One points  up› some  of the science bloopers uttered› by    otherwise    capable    science› students. The other shows how on-line› people  care  enough to help a fellow› net   cruiser   who,   at  the  time,› couldn't   even  coherently  ask  for› help.  It's a heart-warming story, in› view  of  the  negative  things we've› been hearing about Internet activity.› Still    another    article,   source› unknown, talks about  the  nature  of› electricity.   There is a short type-› in program to  disable  BASIC  in  an› 800XL,  and  a  reprint  of   RUSSELL› STOWE's  article  (AAAUA,  (FR)ANTIC,› 2/95) on disk drive maintenance.›› (FR)ANTIC  for  August, 1995 -- JAMES› G. MARTIN, a corresponding member  of› AAAUA,   has   written   an   article› reviewing  entries  found  in  recent› editions of New ATARI User, including› some  new  software!  He also reports› that he has contacted AC and that the› magazine continues to function.  (Ed.› I just  received my September/October› issue A.P.) › James  has  also reviewed, in another› column in this issue, a  game  called› Nibbler  which  was produced in 1983.› Finally, AAAUA saw fit to print their› membership  list on the back cover of› this issue, and  JOHN  HARDIE's  name› is,  of  course, there, among so many› familiar names.›› The PACESetter for September, 1995 --› JEAN  BROKAW  presents  an example of› how you can use the World Wide Web to› take college courses for credit.  She› includes a screen-shot  of  the  home› page  for  the  SPJC writing club and› suggests that this would  be  a  good› place  to  visit for PACE members who› don't   feel  that  they  write  well› enough to  submit  articles  for  the› newsletter.   The  Mail  Box   column› quotes  JOE  HICSWA's  letter   about› computers.  It's a short excerpt, but› beautifully   written.   ALAN  FRAZER› takes   us  on  a  ride  through  the› Suncoast Free-Net to  the  Internet.› It's a fascinating article that shows› what   our   "obsolete,    incapable"› (sarcasm  intended)   classic   ATARI› computers can do for us.  It's also a› great source of what we'd need to get› on  the  net.  If you wish to stay in› computing, and wish  also  to  go  no› further than that 8-bit on your desk,› read   the  article!   Alan  is  also› featured this month in the Getting to› Know  You  column.   VITO   A.   RAIA› reviews  a movie(???) in this issue.› Well, actually the question marks are› valid  until  one  realizes  that the› movie in question  is  DISCLOSURE,  a› movie  with a plot in which computers› and   virtual  reality  figure  quite› heavily.  Read the review.  There  is› a  reprint  of  sections  of  a   JIM› TRAGESER  (Mid-Florida ATARI Computer› Club Bulletin, 8/93) article  on  the› history  of  ATARI  computers.   And,› yes, the assortment of games, puzzles› and cartoons continues unabated.›› *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*›
