Summer approaches, and computer thoughts
drift
away... Or
that
's
what
's
supposed to happen. This year, despite everything,
Atari products keep coming out, both from Europe and the
USA. This month, AtariUser is full of new product announce-
ments, news, and reviews, more than ever before. Enjoy our
report of the ACE
'92
show in Canada, more about the new
computers from Atari (hey, they're still secret, so don
't
tell
anyone that we told you!), and10ts and
lots
ofreviews.
And we've pulled together our Telecommunicaticin feature
on BBS operation, along with views of the
options
in
software.
If
you're pondering becoming a SYSOp, this is news you can
use.
The other news this month is
about
AtariUser itself. We
now offer SUbscription via your handy credit card. We can take
Visa, Mastercard, and something call "JCB"
.
I never heard of
that one, so
if
you have a JCB card, give us a call. I'll give an
year's AtariUser subscription for $1 to the flIst person who'll
put it on
his
widely held JCB card ... and can tell us about it.
Sorry, we can't take
Discover
Cards. Not really sure why
not, but I have a suspicion that it's because of that IBMJProdigy
thing that Sears is tied up with, the card is only PC compatible.
Next month, look for an AtariUser focus on "survival kits",
our columnists' ideas of
the
absolutely vital items of Atari
hardware and software for each and every one of our computer
types. We'll cap the issue with our second annual USER
GROUP LISTING. Be sure your club is listed with Atari and
us
by"May
15
in order to be included.
Oh, by the way, speaking of annual, this is AtariUser's First
Anniversary issue. We started with the May, 1991 issue, and
many people in the Atari community thought
we
were crazy to
start a new magazine, and predicted that we wouldn
't
last six
months. It turns out that we're crazier than anyone thought,
and still at it a year later. With this lucky issue 13, we start our
second year. We've been glad to have you along for the ride!

More Reader Feedback
Let my congratulate
you and
the
staff of
AtariUser
magazine on a job well
done
.
I lookforward
to
stopping by at my fcivorite bookstore
every
month to
pick up my copy. I
would
like to see
a
reader
feedback
column. I feel that this brings
me
closer
to other
Atarians.

Sam Rameriz via GEnie
We've wanted to include lots more
features in
AtariUser,
and as budget
and space allows, we'll
certainly include reader feedback
and
Q&A.
Thanks
for
reading! -

with

what
they offer.
A good and
cheaper half-step might be
Atari's

nearly double the

I'm
a syndica'fd
writer that's been using
an Atari
800XLfor
many
years.

Unless
your 8-bit disks were
prepared using
a custom
format,
they
won't
read on
a
PC,
as you
have
found
.
There's
~
variety
of ways to transfer the
data,
but they
all
require using the Atari 8-bit computer. Easiest is to
use
a modem
and
transfer
the files.
A
local
BBS
operator
can help you,
taking
your uploads
and
then
letting
you
down1o~d
with
the PC. Or use
a
"null
modem
cable"
between the computers. Be
sure your
Atari
files
are
saved
as "AS
GIl"
files, or the PC won
't
be
able
to deal with the word- processor
codes
that
may
be
imbedded
in the files. Your local Atari club
can help
a
lot. Call
Atari
for
groups
near
you:
408- 745-2000.

European AtariUser
I like
AtariUser.
It's
a
bit
on
the
thin side which makes
it a bit pricey over here, but all the
articles are well
written and informative. I've included a
couple of
disc
magazines From the user
group
I
run
.
It's
called
STEN
(ST Enthusiasts Newsletter) and
is totally free
to
anyone
who sends a blank disk
and
a
stamped, self addressed
envelope. STEN, 14 School Road,

Dave
Mooney in the United
Kingdom
Until
recently,
all
British
and European
subscriptions
have been handeled on
your
side
of the "pond," which
ment the distributor
could
charge
any
price
he
wished.
You now have the
option
of
subscribing
direct from the
states for the
cost
of postage
and
handling
only! After
you figure out how to place a call to
sunny California,
call 818.332.0372 for more
info. The
STEN disks
included some great reading,
reviews and comments on
things Atari, and a
wonderful
take-off
on Star Trek. An
intriguing reader/menu/interface
made selection easy
and featured printing options.
A
couple PD
programs
and pictures filled the
disks.
STEN
should
be
worthwhile for
anyone, plus
Dave
wou
ld like to
develop
some kind
of
shareware exchange, making international
shareware payments
easier and
less
costly. Contact
him
.
at STEN for more info. Check the
international mailing
costs before you send
away a
disk!

Where Be My Mag
I've been getting
my
subscription copy
of
AtariUser
as
much as a month
late! Help!
-From
a
number
of
readers,
mostly in New York
and
New Jersey
We
have found
'
a
real problem in timely
delivery to
New
York state and
the greater New York City
metropolitan
and suburban
area. Not that
we're blaming
any
quasi-government
agency,
and yet...
it
reminds
us
of an episode of
Barney Miller
in
which
a
postman kept
everything he was supposed
to
deliver,
except
junk mail
and
bills
... We
publish very close to the
first
of
the
month listed on the
cover.
Normal delivery
should
get
you your copy
no later than the
end of
the
first week of
the cover
month. We've
recently
up-dated our
subscription
database
with
full
carrier
route
and
ZIP+4
coding which seems to have
alleviated the
problem. If
you
have
continuing
late issue problems
,
call
us
818.332.0372. We'll change
your
mailing
status and
keep trying.

Large Screen
Monitors
I am searching for a new monitor to
replace my SM124
which is too small. I
do
DTP
and word
processing.
There must be
some combination of monitors, graphics
boards, and
such
that
will give
me
what
I
want without
costing aforrune.
