Thanks for all of your support in the recent months. ATI's readership has been growing, and we've been getting a lot of positive feedback. Keep the comments, positive and negative, coming! This issue brings some new contributors, namely Sk8 The Skinhead (313) and TI-Man (201). Look for their contributions later in upcoming issues! Also, we are happy to announce the return of a BBS run by The Mentor of LOD called The Phoenix Project. It's an excellent board that I highly reccomend.

In the next few weeks I will attept to compile a more complete list of boards that have ATI issues. And of course, it goes without saying that if you have ATI issues, please do upload them to any boards you call! Also, we are now offering full sets of ATI issues to anyone who wants them. Just send us $1.00 to cover postage and give us an address, and we will mail you a full set of ATI issues for you to enjoy (and upload to your local boards!). If you already have some issues, then tell us which ones you don't have (issues 1-46) and we will send you them. The disks can be sent in the following formats: Commodore, Amiga, IBM MS-DOS, and Atari-ST. All disks are 3 1/2" size, unless you have a Commodore. If you have a Commodore, we can send you the files on a 3 1/2" disk or 5 1/4" disks. Please do take advantage of this offer, as we want to get as many people reading ATI as possible. We would definitely like to hear from any and all BBS sysops that have the space to put up our issues! (issues 1-46 together make up about 500k) You can also get ATI issues through Bitnet. Just mail tk0eee1@NIU and you will be mailed ATI thru the net! And now, on with the show! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And now, here's P.A.W.N.: DONDE ESTA MI CHINGADA SALADA. It's time for more prime. Prime Anarchist World News. PAWN is brought to you by ATI in conjunctivitis with Murine and Minolta. Famous for getting the red out. I saw a show on cable TV for deprived people called "Bowling for Gas Money to Get Home". Fone area codes for 5 bodies of water (I'm not kidding). 873 gets you the Indian Ocean; 872 is the Pacific, 871 is the Atlantic, Carribean and Mediterranean. Call your favorite oil tanker guy (and guess what?!?! 9 times out of 10? Step-X!!!) GOOD KING GEORGE'S FREUDIAN SLIP-- Discussing an executive order charging 27 prominent people with taking a "drug initiative", George said, "They all share my goal of ridding Americans, er, uh, America of illegal drugs."

Closest attempts at that were Run A Gun and Buy A Gun. Congrats and thanx to all who put up with and frequented Infomaniack BBS while the game was being developed. It was a smashing (crashing???) success only due to your email and feedback. Anyone who wants information on purchasing a copy of Hackit or photo- copying the t-files can kiss my jolly gym shorts. I like strawberry nectar better than peach or apricot nectar. Try it. God, I wish the Cleopatra look would die already. If you don't have black hair naturally, do us all a favor? Don't try. Whether you think "cherish" by madonna is cherishable or perishable, I say throw it out. Having troble discerning a touch-tone or series of touch-tones you've recorded? Play the tones into any Aspen voice-mail system. It will spit the decoded numbers back to you as part of an error message. Or play the tomes into the Bell Labs wakeup call at 201-644-2306. Or play them to an SSCU. Or if you own an Apple-Cat modem you can boot up a prg that will recognize and decode the touch-tomes.

What led to the exit? Solitude? Fear? Confusion? I suppose solitude led to fear and confusion.... If you'd offer'd someone a glimpse of your heart- Could this end have been averted? So what of your lost future? What of the event of an individual being pushed to end his days? What of the collective? We have failed. Miserably. ARMAGEDDON ISLE TO THE TUNE OF: Gilligin's Isle... It all started when we tried to smoke A joint that was too fat. We smoked it from beginning to end In 30 seconds flat. Them buds they crackled 'n' seeds all popped as Paper inched across. I noticed that my head was getting High as a kite. High as a kite. The thoughts grew few and far between, the topics were of peace. If not for the US and our secret wars The whole world would be free. The whole world would be free. So then the others turned to me And this is what one said. We can have peace, And Freedom too, Equality, And justice. But the movie star Is a war monger and greedy bastard. Here on Armageddon Isle. Here on Raygun's Isle. Here on Bush's Isle. TO THE TUNE OF "CHESTNUTS ROASTING" Flame broiled Whoppers in a cardboard box. French fries sizzling in fat. Eat them fast or they're soggy and flat Burger King is where it's at. You know that Herb is on his way. And his whole entire ad campaign is gay Even though, they do it your way, It still costs too much for steroid sandwiches these days. and now, a poem by prime War? Local or far away- Will it ever go away. I draw a peace sign in the sand, A crab bites my toe. I let him go. The woe of aftermath-- Can we hang? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
