Science and Life
It is the photo that challenged me. I had the Science & Life of January only
thumbed when I fell on this photo. It is because I had seen an ATARI
there, a ST, that I halted... Then while watching besides near, I perceive
that this is not one but TWO ATARI on this photo (one didn't see the
second but her person held a keyboard ATARI, maybe the one of a FALCON gone
up in tower, recognizable to his/her/its Fn keys and his/her/its
directional pavement, placed in loud of the keyboard whereas he is in
bottom on all keyboards of PC that I know). She/it was at home subtitled " Studio
of musical creation " and illustrated an article on the MIDI music.
That my makes pleasure to see well that some magazines recognize qualities
of our machines again and I put myself therefore to read the article in
question (as what all magazines should speak of ATARI to sell).
The author started then with an introduction on music computer general
public geared on :
In this paragraph he/it described the necessary machine, evidently
he/it started with a PC but, good dawns for him, he/it didn't say that
a PII absolutely needed 300 Mhzes to make the MIDI : " a 486 DXS 66
make the business " amply, then he/it spent to the MAC and I rejoiced
myself of advance to be able to read that a ST was sufficient but
after the MAC, it is the Direct To Disk (requiring a more sinewy
config) that it spoke. " Good... well he/it will probably speak
farther some, it is true that the Atari it is more very rife " I told
myself. I continue my reading therefore :
He describes full of cards different sounds on PC and MAC spends to
the following then.
He/it evidently speaks of Cubase and I tell " myself Ah, at the end of
the article he/it is going to speak of Atari " and well no, the
article ends and not only one word.
I must confess well that that has me a little irritated to read that
this beautiful article on the MIDI music (that is nevertheless one of
domains where our machines are especially effective) where he/it
doesn't even speak of Atari. That could have passed again if there had
not been a photo over with 2 ATARI and proudly soustitrée " Studio of
musical creation at home " but there it was too much strong. Our
machines are not anymore very present in the computer world but to
bury them like that, it is nevertheless revolting. I sent an e-mail
therefore to Science & Life, while doing of thick efforts to keep my
calmness but I don't have (again I hope... but without believing
there) received of answer.
I invite you therefore all to send of them e-mail et/ou of letters to
Science & Life to express your discontent :
If you don't want to buy this magazine that doesn't respect our machines I
can send you the photo that I have scanned, ask it me by e-mail :

I hope that you will be numerous to show you to defend your favorite
computer that, unfortunately, will disappear soon. In all cases, when we
will only be a ridicule rock in an ocean unleashed of PC would I always be
there, and you ?
