The latest edition of the CompuClub News just arrived and it had a lot
of interesting news in it.  One thing that it included was a short 
article on the West Coast Computer Fair.  I don't know exactly when it
was held but I thought that you might be interested in the general
comments they had on the Atari booth.  It follows:

	"The ATARI booth (actually manned by people from a local
	user group) was far and away the hit of the show.  While
	the giants like IBM showed products to one or two people at
	a time, the people at the ATARI booth were piled at least
	six deep throughout the show.  In fact, the steadiest visitors
	were the three lonely reps from the Commodore booth."

They also said that the Atari portable (XEP) and the ST130 have been
canceled for the short term future.

The newsletter was put together using Letter Perfect and the Print
Shop.  They have been using Letter Perfect for some time but this
is the first issue using Print Shop and what a difference!  They 
even have some graphics that look very nice.
