CHAPTER 6
YOUR COMPUTER'S
NETWORK
In addition
to
obtaining information from your
local computer dealer and buying commercial
software programs, there are other sources that
you can use for extra help:
• Local users' groups
• Magazines specializing in Atari news
• Computer networks
• Electronic bulletin board systems
This chapter discusses how you can use each of
these sources of information
to
your advantage.
USERS' GROUPS
Local users' groups and clubs can be an impor-
tant source of information. Users' groups are
loosely knit clubs of computer enthusiasts,
usually all owners of one specific type of com-
puter. Many users ' groups publish newsletters
that provide unbiased reviews of new programs,
programming tutorials, and current news about
Atari computing.
