Neuss v Stafford It's show season again and over the next few months Atari Computing will be treking around Europe checking out the latest releases and promoting our magazine. First up is Neuss, on October 4/5th in Germany, where we're expecting the Milan computer to be on sale for the first time. I was lucky enough to get hold of one of these machines and you can read my first impressions on page 12 - with more to come next issue. There's still no confirmation of a show in France this autumn but December is the month muted in discussions which means the Atari Computing Convention 98 is the next in line on November 14th in Stafford. If everything goes according to plan UK readers should find a flyer with cut&clip discount form inside this issue. Check out our ACC 98 Show Guide on page 8 and you'll see there's something of interest to anyone interested in computing so bring along your friends and make a day of it! With the shows and the festive season looming it's likely AC#12 won't hit your doormats until January so I'll take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, especially our contributors, and wish you all a Happy Christmas and New Year. For anyone wondering what's happened to Xav's regular page I've held it over until next issue when Xav finally sets about building that Team Tap he's been promising us for a while now.
