CES ATARI NEWS NIGHTLY
For example: As you read this, the Las Vegas Winter Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will be the hottest topic for Atari fans.  This is the forum where Jack Tramiel has promised to introduce the new line of Atari computers.
  Your local newspaper won't carry many details of the Atari developments, and the computer magazines can't bring you full information until months later.  But now ... Antic on CompuServe will file authoritative on-the-scene Atari reports every night during the CES.
  On CompuServe, Antic Magazine has opened up interactive two-way communication with our readers.  YOU are invited to participate.  All it takes is a CompuServe subscription, your interest in the best personal computer, and a modem!

P.S. PLATO TOO
We are continuing our active Antic Magazine notesfile on Plato, along with the new Antic presence on CompuServe.  Control Data's Plato is still unmatched for on-line interactive learning, conferencing and graphics -we'll maintain a regular presence there too. (See "Plato Rising" in Antic, July 1984 for an overview.)
  In fact, as we printed in the December, 1984 issue (page 9), the long-awaited Atari Learning Phone Cartridge that hooks you up to Plato is due to start arriving in your local stores around the end of this month.  Keep watching Antic on CompuServe for latest details!
