Besides my old friends calling me cpu geek, my wife also as well now (of
course she's joking, I hope).
By the way I got some of my old friends totally interested in computers, by
showing demos that they would never imagined existed, but like some of them
they are interested in arcade games.

Well actually enough is what I said, I had the 2 8 Bit ATARIs since I was
12, and still plan to keep these hopefully forever.  I jumped into the ST
for school and then the 486 for difficult planetary simulations, later
the notebook was a great idea, since I work with a professor in development
on the pc simulation.  The 286 came in for free and the MAC LC II came in last
2 weeks ago.  I figure buying a 030 card and a hard drive and a graphics
card for the ST would be more than just buying a MAC 030 already in.  The
286 is going out and the ST will be as well when the GEMULATOR comes out.
I hope to get rid of the MAC as well as soon as I learn more on programming
graphic applications on it.

I like to say thanks for all the replies for the ST magazine info.  ATARI
people always seemed to be one big family.  I'm glad I was able to be a
part of this group.
