  1. At last year's VCF East I was honored that Curt allowed me to exhibit the ST-Pad and EST prototypes with my Atari ST bit of the mega Atari exhibit. I only met him a few times, but he was always so personable and his passion for Atari was infectious. 

     

    I am saddened by his passing and hope the best for his family and friends.

    Could anyone use a copy of the full Cyber Studio 3.0 documentation?

     

    I was cleaning out my desk when I found my manual for "Cyber Studio 3.0" in a small 3-ring binder (I may have the software too. I have to look.) "Cyber Studio" was THE must have 3D modeling software for the ST.

     

    It would be a shame to throw away the full original documentation if someone could use it. Just let me know. I'll hold onto it for a week or two before it goes in the circular file (trash can.)

    Where are you located? I'd be happy to take it and scan it for everyone.


  3. Last year I was part of the 40th anniversary of Atari home computers exhibit at VCF East.  During the show, The Guru Meditation YouTube guys Bill and Anthony interviewed me and just today posted the video.

    I'm sure I got some dates and facts wrong, but I did my best to represent the ST in a positive way.  There is even an appearance of the STPad prototype in the video.  

    Check it out and give those guys a follow on YouTube.

    Thanks!

  4. My comment about the videos and music is not overblown for the one time I was there.  Maybe I was there on a non-typical day so your mileage may vary.

     

    The people were friendly enough, so don't think I was being disparaging about them personally.  I just found the place overwhelming for the reasons I mentioned before.

  5. I am only about 15 miles from Kemner's and I have only been there once.  Frankly, the place is overwhelming.  Stuff is everywhere and mostly without reason.  Angry fire and damnation Christian videos and music playing throughout the store.  I found the whole experience unsettling.

  6. Thanks for the info Curt.

    Is the consignment area both days? I have a couple Atari computers that don't get much use these days.

    I have a Falcon,XEGS and Colecovision that I'm thinking of trading. Nothing solid yet. My wife keeps telling

    me I'll regret it. :-0 Anyone have a 1040STE with a floppy emulator you'd like to trade for a Falcon?

     

     

    You will regret getting rid of the Falcon. So many ST games have been adapted by Klaz and PPera to run on the Falcon that getting an STE in exchange is an interesting call.


  7. I am really looking forward to this. I haven't seen Curt in about 15 years and some Atari-specific computer presentations sound fantastic. My biggest problem is that I don't think that I will be able to make it to the show for both Saturday and Sunday; I will have to pick either one or the other.

    Saturday's are definitely more heavily attended, so it has more of an event feel to it. Joe Decuir is speaking on Sunday morning though, so that might be a better choice from an Atari perspective.

  8. Anyone have a copy of this?

     

    Digispec Works with your Computereyes digitizer to capture 512-color images from a video camera or VCR. Then it displays the image on your color monitor and lets you adjust the color balance, brightness and contrast before you save it to disk in Spectrum 512 format. On top of 512 pure colors, Digispec's dithering capabilities bring the number of simulated colors to 24,389. And the program is compatible with Amiga 1FF files and CompuServe GIF files. You can view any Amiga picture, even a 4,096-color Hold-and-Modify mode picture, and convert it to Spectrum 512 format, then touch it up in Spectrum 512.
