DevelopmentsThe Atari Users of North Texas (AUNT) Computer Exposition will be coming again to Dallas this November in conjunction with the monthly DFW XChange Super Saturday activities at the beautiful Dallas Infomart. Show date is planned for Saturday the 14th. As with the last three DEUCE shows, the actual show date will be finalized 120 days prior to the exposition. The exposition, along with the Super Saturday activities, charge no admission fees and are open to the general public. The one day exposition is planned to begin at 8:30 AM and run until 4:00 PM. A Friday evening pre-show get together and a post show get together are also being planned.
November is still a great time to visit the Dallas Metroplex. The DFW Xchange Super Saturday activities are a monthly computer extravaganza where thousands of computer enthusiast get together, share their computer interests and enjoy some of the best computer and high-tech electronic buys in Texas. This November will be special for us Atarians because many of our finest developers and dealers will be participating in the activities.
The Dallas Infomart facility, a replica of the famous 1895 world fair crystal palace, is located in the heart of the Dallas commerce district at 1950 Stemmons Freeway (I-35E). The facility is leased by the DFW Xchange each month to provide a community service to all computer users in the Metroplex area. The Atari Users of North Texas is one of many participating user groups that help support this community service by sharing our Atari computer interests, general computer expertise and providing user assistance to our local Atarians and the interested general public.
Vendors are being lined up. Systems for Tomorrow, chroMagic, Crawly Crypt Corporation, and Emmulators have already expressed their interest in participating in the show. Vendors interested in participating can contact David Acklam at (972) 242-9655 or on-line at d.acklam@genie.com. You can also visit the AUNT home page at http//www.startext.net/homes/aunt.

This is a pre-call to all Atarians everywhere of every platform (game machines and home computers). We of the Atari Computer Enthusiasts of Columbus [a.k.a. ACEC] WILL be hosting a SWAP MEET/SHOW/SALE on Saturday, September 26, 1998 in Columbus, Ohio, USA. We've placed a security deposit and have marked off the calendar!
At this time, we are posting to provide early alert and gain a preliminary response from the Atari community. We wish to hear from all, but WE WOULD PARTICULARLY LIKE TO HEAR FROM (any remaining) ATARI VENDORS who may wish to attend so that we may include notice of their intention in later posts/publicity. We wish to hear from all so that we may better plan this activity and make certain that everyone interested receives a map to the location (in the north central portion of Columbus, just off of Interstate 71). We will shortly be able to e-mail that map in .BMP or other format.
We are not planning on making any money from this: Tables will be available to Vendors and flea marketeers for $5 per table pre-registration. This price INCLUDES door admission for one person. Obviously, we will not be planning a much greater admission price for people just wishing to walk in, look around, talk, and buy! ACEC merely wishes to continue to promote the Atari community as it has since the '70's.
The precise time and other details for the meet are yet to be set; Atari community response will be a prime factor in determining how long the doors will be open and what other shapes the meet takes.
PLEASE FORWARD this note to anyone you know -- any vendor, any collector, anyone cleaning out their closet -- who might be interested in things Atari.
PLEASE RESPOND to:

We are anticipating a good turnout and hoping to have some
dealers at this event and thus TAF has booked a larger hall
to accomadate everyone. To help defray some of TAF's costs of the event,
the following will apply:
Half-Table's will be $5.00 or the Full-Table for $10.00 each.
Half-Table's are FREE to TAF MEMBERS. Admision is $2.00
per non-member family but if you are selling and have taken
a half-table or more, admission is inc- luded. Admission for
TAF members is, of course, Free.
The Flea Market will run from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with setup
commencing for sellors after 12:00 PM, noon, and teardown after 5:00
PM. This should allow enough time for as many people inside
and outside Toronto to attend the event.
As usual, piracy cannot and will not be condoned. You must be
selling original pre-owned software only. If anyone is caught
selling pirated software or stolen hardware, they will be dealt
with severely!!
The TORONTO ATARI FEDERATION Flea Market will be held in
the "Gold Room" of the North York Memorial Community
Hall on the Lower or Concourse Level of the North York City Centre
Library Building at 5110 Yonge Street (next to Mel Lastman Square) at Parkhome
Ave. Parkhome is 5 stoplights North of Hwy 401 running East
off of Yonge.
Parking garage inside the complex - enter next to the Novotel
Hotel on Parkhome Ave. Those comming by public transport can take
the TTC's Yonge Subway, North to the North York City Centre
Station, then walk through the tunnel into the concourse, down to the food
court, turn left and find the Memorial Hall on your right.
