Hi Is the following still available? Jag CD, memory Cart and Games and (Minus Primal Rage) £100 Shipped? If it is would you please consider shipping to Dublin? Thanks Paul

Hi guys A quick update, I have added a TT030 with graphics card and this has really helped my productivity. I am using both Pagestream 2.2 and Calamus SL2006 for layout, Papyrus 5 & Protext 6 for word processing, playing with Pheonix 5 for the database stuff (would prefer Twist 2 if any one has a copy or one for sale). Things are progressing much better since I got the TT, the wife thinks it looks like a real computer rather than the Falcon! The TT just seems faster for productivity stuff except for stuff that uses the DSP. Hi Christos Any luck with scanning the Xboot manual? Thaks for all your comments I really appreciate it . Paul

Hi Christos That is great I really appreciate it. Paul

Hi Fredrik You asked if there was any interest in your stuff well I am very interested in your spectre gcr, cash waiting. Please respond to my pm and questions. Thanks Paul

Hi Christos Good to hear from you again, hope that you are well? I am using the programme successfully but would love to have a copy of the manual to make sure that I am using this great programme to its fullest. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Paul

Just a quick update I have managed to aquire some of the applications (bought 10 kilos worth from the States cost $120.00 just for the postage! They should be on their way) I have so far managed to get hold of the following: Papyrus version 4 Calamus SL 93 NVDI 5 Thats Write 3 Touch Up 2.5 with Migraph Scanner? Xboot 3 (need the manual can you please help with a scan?) Jinnee 2.5 (need the manual can you please help with a scan?) STFax 2.2 Load of Codehead software. I also managed to get hold of a TT with a good spec which is on its way to me from Norway (cannot wait to get it and set it up). I am still after the following: DA LayoutTC 6 (leaflets, stationary etc) DA Picture (picture manipualtion) DA Vector 2 (pictures and effects) Coma Professional 5 (voice mail) Apex Media (producing pictures for the kids) Redacteur 3.15 (English) (old time's sake) Migraph OCR Senior and Merge it Texel Thats Address 2 Musicom 2 Word Perfect 6 Bitstream Speedo Fonts SCSI scanner software and compatable flatbed scsi/parallel scanner I am in the process of setting up an STE in the pre-school with some kids software on it (if you have any of the kids learning programmes going spare please let me know). I ill be starting to do most of the admin work on the TT and creative stuff on the Falcon/TT. All documents and stock graphics have been converted to Atari compatable format ready to be used in earnest in the next two weeks. If you can helpwith any of the above I would be most greatful. Thanks Paul

What is a "happy discovery cartridge (one with all the options incl 128KB MAC Rom" what does it do? Paul

PM sent re Spectre GCR

Hi Fredrik I am very interested in the Spectre GCR is it version 3? Do you have a copy of the Apple system disks? How much including shipping to Dublin? Thanks Paul

Hi guys and thanks for your replies. I agree entirely that the stuff that I am trying to achieve will be done easier and quicker on my Windows Vista PC I am not at all imploying that I can do it better on my Falcon or that the Atari's are better than the modern Mac's and PC's. The thing for me is that the Atari is much more fun to use and I can achieve most of the same results (particularly around word processing, DTP, spreadsheet and datbase) with my Falcon setup. I also need to justify have two Falcons and wanting a TT as well! I did all my university work on a 1mb STE with Thats Write and Touch Up and the quality was better at the time than the stuff that had been produced on a PC. I want to type my letters on my Falcon and do some layout etc because I get a real kick out of producing quality letters etc that are as good as the stuff produced on my Vista PC with 2GB RAM etc. This is just a quick reply and I will reply properly in the next few days. Paul

Hi guys I am involved in the running of a pre-school and currently all computing requirements (faxing, invoicing, e-mailing etc) are carried out on a powerful pc. My buisness partner (the wife) and I were discussing the merits of the Falcon and I was showing off some applications when she commented that "atari's are only for playing games and why did I need one as I have a PS3". I countered by saying that the Atari was a great computer and that we could use to run our business with. She replied "if the falcon is as good as you say it is then run run the bloody business with it" I have decided to do just that I always love a challange! My main aim is to run my business completely on my Falcon (or preferably a TT) and then design a website with my experiences, applications that I used to help inform others that Ataris can be used in business. The format would be to document everthing that I needed to create for my business and show how I achieved the results and with what software. I will need to be able to design news letters, stationay, memos, accounts, database, faxing, e-mail and web design etc. My Falcon is not connected to the net yet. I am waiting for an ethernet solution to become available that I can buy. I have Magic 6.2 and MiNT installed on my Falcon. Can you help with this project? I am looking for the following software either to buy (new or secondhand) or on loan (thay will be returned safe and sound!). I realise that I can probably get my hands on most of this stuff via downloads but I really need the manuals etc. Jinee 2.5 or last english version of Ease (MagicDesk is too limited) ImageCopy 4CD (screen shots and image conversion) DA LayoutTC 6 (leaflets, stationary etc) DA Picture (picture manipualtion) DA Vector 2 (pictures and effects) Coma Professional 5 (faxing and voice mail) Apex Media (producing pictures for the kids) Redacteur 3.15 (English) (old time's sake) Migraph OCR Senior and Merge it (have a hand scanner with touch Up) Texel Database with good form creation (not Superbase 3) Thats Address 2 Musicom 2 SCSI scanner software and flatbed scsi/parallel scanner The main reason that I have chosen the above applications is that I have used them in the 90's and I am used to them. I am sure that I will find other applications that I will need to complete this project. The one application that I will need to keep using on the PC is our Daycare Management System. So if you can help with any of the above or think that the idea is "thats crazy" as one of my PC owning friends shouted at me! Please let me know. Any thoughts or encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I hope to start the project and web site in the middle of January. Thanks for your input. Paul

Hi Christos Thanks for the comprehensive reply I really appreciate it. My Falcon has 14mb ST RAM, 16mb TT RAM, CT Accelerator @ 50HZ both IDE & SCSI II drives. I have used 3D Calc and never got on with it to be honest. I tried the demo of Texel and it was exactly what I was after. My main aim is to run my business completely on my Falcon and then design a website with my experiences, applications that I used to help inform others that Ataris can be used in business etc. The format would be to document everthing that I needed to create for my business and show the results, how I achieved the results etc. This came about after I was challenged to run the business on my Falcon rather than my pc (my wifes idea "if the falcon is as good as you say it is then run run the bloody business with it"). I am at the preparitry stage of collecting everything that I need i.e. hardware and software. I will need to be able to design news letters, stationay, memos, accounts, database, faxing, e-mail and web design etc. My Falcon is not connected to the net yet. I am waiting for an ethernet solution to become available that I can buy. I am currently mostly using the TOS that comes with the CT card I am looking at other versions such as Mint, Geneva etc. Mint always looks difficult to install to me but I have not given it much time to be honest. I will look at the videos that you linked to. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Paul Paul

Hi Christos Thanks again, I have requests up on news groups, Atari Forums for sftware that I am interested in. If you happen to decide to sell any software please keep me in mind. I am after a good spreadsheet at the moment I was looking for Texel but nobody will sell it to me numerous e-mails to Ash etc and no reply same for Cab 2.6, Kobold and Jinnee 2.5. I am willing to buy the stuff from the vendors but they never respond to my mails. It is very frustrating that is why I offered you the Falcon I got it for a very good price and thought that it would cost me a lot more in time, enerfgy and euros to collect the same software on the net. My list of software wants includes the following: Jinee 2.5 or last english version of Ease ImageCopy 4CD Textstyle View II Calligrapher Professional Fonts disks (I am in the process of purchasing Calligrapher Gold from the USA) LayoutTC Didot range of applications Coma Professional 5 Neodesk 4 and Geneva (Gribnif) Apex Media (Falcon) CalAssistant (Calamus Hypertxt help) PageAssistant (Pagestream 2 Hypertxt help) Codehead Codekeys (macro utility) Redacteur 3.15 (English) I am also after a TT I had one when I was involved in a PD library and in the running of Atari User Group in Edinburgh. I would swap my Falcon and all my gear for a good spec machine. Thanks and if you could help with any of the above or suggest any better alternatives I would really appreciate it. Thanks again. Paul

Hi Christos I appreciate that, thanks. I used all the software that you displayed when I was heavily involved in the scene in the 80's. I would be more than happy to buy them off of you if you were willing to sell them, I fully appreciate that they are now obsolete but I would love to have ful copies with manuals etc. I have two Falcons curently one in daily use and the other sitting in a box at the moment. I uae Atari applications on a daily basis in preferance to my PC which is very high spec. I love the Atari and its desktop. I also appreciate your offer of helping me track down some of the software. I wouldnt consider it being ripped off as I had given my offer much thought. This is the Falcon that I was offering http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...N:IT&ih=012 Would you be interested in selling some of the software (I am not a collector I want to use the software in my use of my Falcon) or perhaps comming to some deal with the Falcon included? I really do appreciate your answer but would love to get my hands on your software. . Thanks again Christos. Paul

Hi Christos Would you be interested in selling any/all of the software mentioned in your blog? Or maybee swap for some hardware? I would swap my spare Falcon030 for the lot shown in your "New stuff coming my way!" blog. This is a serious offer. Thanks for your consideration. Paul
