ATARI COMPUTER ENTHUSIASTS (NSW)
Atari Computer Enthusiasts (NSW) is an independent, non-profit
computer users group for owners and users of Atari Computers. While we
are recognised by the Atari Corporation throughout the world, as the
official Atari Users' Group in NSW, we have no connection with them.
ACE NSW was founded in 1982, catering at first to the 8 bit Ataris.
Following the inception of the Atari ST, the club's membership is now
predominantly made up of ST owners.
Our aims include the promotion of the various Atari personal Computer
Systems, the education of both beginners and advanced users in
programming techniques, exchanging, hints, tips, ideas, and explaining
the special features of Atari Computers.
ACE NSW has twenty officer positions, elected annually, responsible
for carrying out the various functions of the club.
Sydney ACE has more than 350 members, a monthly meeting, a bi-monthly disk
based newsletter, a very extensive public domain software library, and an
excellent FidoNet bulletin board. If you have an Atari then you should be in
ACE. It's as simple as that, no ifs, buts or excuses. ACE offers support
for new members, and helps keep the advanced user in touch with the latest
news in the ATARI world. No matter what experience you have on computers,
ACE has a lot to offer.
Members receive 5% to 10% discounts on software/ hardware purchases at
various retailers, on presentation of their membership card.
The club purchases blank disks in bulk and offers them to members at
cut prices, when available.
NEW ACE MEMBERS RECEIVE 2 FREE STARTER DISKS.
The programs on these disks have been carefully selected to provide all of
the essential utilities and information to help you get the most out of your
Atari computer. All ACE members receive the bi-monthly disk based
newsletter and are encouraged to attend the monthly, new format Saturday
afternoon club meetings at the University of Technology in Ultimo. Meetings
are held on the FIRST SATURDAY of EACH MONTH at 1.30 pm in room 435 Ground
Floor of the Engineering Building. Please look at the Bulletin Board in the
main Foyer of the Uni for any changes in meeting rooms call the ACE (NSW)
Meetings and Club Info hot line on (02) 568-2990.
PD SOFTWARE.
Access to the latest top public domain software. We are constantly seeking
out the very latest and best US and European PD software. Our library sells
PD disks for $7.00 for members or $10.00 if you are not a member. Our PD
library has monthly specials and quantity purchase discounts.
PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS.
At our monthly meetings over the last year we have had product
demonstrations from ATARI, The Sydney Conservatorium of Music and Bava's
Music Centre. Our meetings offer a forum to meet other Atari users, access
to our magazine library, and of course a look at new machines and software.
DAILY US and EUROPEAN BBS CONFERENCES.
We get the FidoNet US Atari conference, US programmers conference, European
Atari conference, the Australian Atari conference and local echo areas. We
also cater to BBS members who like to play online games, we have at least
two online games going, sometimes more. We have a very wide range of public
domain software on our BBS and the latest weekly online US Atari magazines.
ACE(NSW) BBS: Phone 664-1303. Modem Setup: Full Duplex, 1 stop bit, 8 bit
word and 300/ 1200/ 2400/ 4800/ 9600 Baud Rates. VT52, ANSI or ASCII

DISK BASED MAGAZINE.
ACE members receive our bi-monthly disk magazine. We are one of the clubs
pioneering this magazine form. It's neat, tidy, fully menu driven and easy
to use, and is a no waste alternative to paper. THIS YEAR New machines are
shipping for all levels of users from workstations to home computers. Atari
is shipping the STe / Mega STe & TT. Professional Atari workstations are in
the hands of the Atari product developers, software companies are continuing
to develop and upgrade new and innovative applications software. This flyer
was produced using an Atari Public Domain Word Processor called STWriter
which is available from ACE(NSW). WHY JOIN ACE? If you have a machine
that sits in the cupboard and you really wonder what you are going to do
with it, fine, don't join ACE. If on the other hand you want to meet other
people who enjoy exploring their Atari machines in a diverse range of
applications such as Midi, BBS's, Education, Games, Accounting, Desktop
Publishing and Home Video, as well as running IBM and Macintosh emulators,
then JOIN ACE. Send the membership form to the GPO Box.
