I wanted Atari owners in states neighboring on Illinois to know that we are having an all Atari Swap Fest on Sunday, April 22. This is not a full blown Atarifest, just a local swap fest, but there will be some developers there and several dealers. Bob Brodie is even tentatively scheduled to be there.
