selection of ATARI hardware, the last tiMe I was there they had two 488s and 888s and an ATAR:I KN801 printer. TOYS R us now has the ATARI LYNK but no gaMes for this Machine seeMed to be available ~et. The Manager said this would change quickly. They also had several KEGS cartridges, titles such as JOUST, ffs. PACMAN and BLUEMAH were in abundance. SoMeone on the SPACE BBS reported that a SEARS in the ffaplewood area had KEGS cartridges Just lying around in a large bin in the clearance section. However, the best place to buy quality software is SPACE Which now not only sells quality DOH'S, but now has a qualified ATARI dealer COMing to the Meetings selling ATARI software at ver!I low prices. Be sure to coMe and see What he has, at the last Meeting he had a six page list of software he COUid backorder. All Of us MUSt becoMe better inforMed. It is necessary for us to learn froM others• Mistakes. You will not live long enough to Make theM a11 yourself. Today's best labor saving device? To.,..orro.,,.!
