Coming next month: Comments: The Catalog (that comes bound in the magazine) is a new issue this month. They have several new ST programs or new versions (such as Flash 1.5) and several bargains for both the 8bit and ST owners. ANTIC claims they ship within 24 hours and I tend to believe them. I got my order in less than a week after placing an order. There is an ad for a new OS for the 8bit XL/XE machines called the EXPANDER (Synergy Concepts) that sounds like it would be really nice for several types of applications. Anyone ever had any personal experience with it? The E. Arthur Brown Company have a full page an in this issue. They make the ST Video Box, ST Composite Cable and a ST Solderless RAM upgrade kit, among other things. Kit Kimes AT&T-ISL 1100 E. Warrenville Rd. Naperville, IL 60566 ...!ihnp4!iwvae!kimes
