a

at
the hows and whys to get hard-driving on the

does Chuck

for the 8-bit Atart. Ron Berinstein
is back with

The Ultimate Desktop
NeoDesk® 3;is a complete replace-
ment of the built-in
desktop that
comes
with your Atari,
STITT.
Its advanced
,
yet intuitive, graphical interface makes
your computer
:both
easier to use and
much
more
pof erful.
It is the easiest and most affordable
way
to
realize your Atari's true poten-
tial. Many
have
called it "the
ultimate
upgrade fo r the Atari ST".
NeoDesk introduced the idea of plac-
ing icons directly on
the
desktop while
pioneering the concept of assigning dif-
ferent
icons
to files and folders.
Now NeoDesk 3 takes you a_step
further, with features that will make
you scream "} want my NeoDesk 3!".
NeoDesk has hundreds of features
which make it the most powerful desk-
top available for your
computer.
You
can even write
Desktop Notes™
right on
the desktop itsel
f.
NeoDesk also lets you
see
two differ-
ent parts of the same
window,
thanks to
its amazing
Split
Window
feature. Of
course,
any
window can independently
be set to display text or icons.
Other features include a built-in icon
editor, keyboard equivalents, desktop
pictures, fil
e
templates.
Hot Keys,
Macros,
and

There's even
