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!
