Please stop by a meeting of the Atari Computer Owners of Rochester, NY.
You will see a group of dedicated Atari owners teaching newcomers how
to use their machines, a groups of users talking about the latest
Atari "gossip", demos of the newest programs, talks by developers, dealers,
and "experts", and, NO PIRACY! 

Our club, as do many other groups, has a strict policy against software piracy
in any form. Swapping of commercial software is prohibited at our meetings
and on our bbs.

You will never see an "orgy of software piracy" at an ACORN meeting.
