SEE YA!¢¢ Well, I think this first issue of Futura is finally complete. It's taken quite some time to put together and has cost me many hours of sleep but I have enjoyed doing it immensely. I hope it is of interest to the Atari 8-bit community.¢¢ Any comments, suggestions or contributions are most welcome as they will encourage me to continue producing regular issues of Futura. I enjoy hearing from anyone with a love for the Atari 8-bit.¢¢ If you would like to receive the latest issue of Futura simply send a blank disk with a stamped SAE. Alternatively, you can send a cheque for 1.95 (payable to S.J.Murray) and I'll despatch a copy to you. Any added cash contributions are most welcome - they will be used to fund the development of Futura. All I want to see is the Atari 8-bit survive well into the next century. To achieve this we need to continue feeding the system with new software.¢¢ Whilst some have a dim view of the future of the Atari XL/XE, I do not. I truly believe that it will survive for many years to come AND grow in strength. I, for one, will NEVER abandon my 8-bit system. There are thousands like me!¢¢ Keep the XL/XE flag flying high!¢¢Yours Atari 8-bitly,¢¢Stuart Murray,¢30/4/92.¢¢Please feel free to write to me at the following address :-¢¢71 Walker Road¢(Top Floor Right),¢Torry,¢Aberdeen¢AB1 3DL,¢Scotland.¢¢¢P.S.
