Hello all,

  I was very sorry to see the last message in the last digest about the
possible end of this group.

  We can't let this happen.  This is the only link that many people have
to Atari owners and Atari supplies (as the ones who seem to be doing the
supplying are the Atari owners....no suprise there).  If I was going to
be around at this university and it was accesible via the internet (which
to my knowledge it isn't) I would volunteer, as I don't want to see this
list come to an end.

  We have very little time, so lets hope that one of us enthusiasts finds
a site.  If not, maybe, somehow, we could generate a list of all people
who are interested in staying in touch on Atari topics, and send this
list in the last few digests so that all of us can still stay in touch
(albiet a little less conviently).

  If it does come to and end, may I say to all of you that when I joined
this group, my enthusiasm for my Atari (400, 800XL, 810 w/CHIP, 1050 USD,
850, and my Epson Printer) increased 10 fold.  I have gotten several
good pieces of software from people on this list, and it is the only
good connection for 'discontinued' software.

  Since ANALOG is no more :-( , if this group goes, that will be the end
of the good times for many of us.

Thanks everybody for listening...
