Group Information
The Atari Boise User Group (ABUG) is an active and functioning group of
Atari Computer
owners. ABUG was first started in the early 1980's by owners of Atari
console game machines
and Eight-Bit computers. The interest in the group grew in 1985 as
Atari marketed the innovative
Sixteen/Thirtytwo bit home computer, the Atari ST. Today, as Atari
Computers, Inc. has entered
the Game market with the Jaguar and has dropped interest in manufacturing
home computers,
the ABUG members continue to use the older computers while also purchasing
the new Atari
computers like the Atari Mega/STE and Atari TT Workstation. With MagiCMac
(an Atari
emulator for the Machintosh) and GEMulator (an Atari emulator for Windows)
allowing Mac
and Windows users to continue to use Atari programs, the interest in
Atari will not be easily lost.
And as long as there are Atari Computer owners, there will be ABUG
supporting them. |
