Bonjour

We're delighted to welcome readers of the French STraTOS magazine readers to their FREE CD-ROM copy of Atari Computing, I hope you enjoy it as much as our paying customers, please do feel free to get involved.
If you're reading the printed Atari Computing magazine you'll be wondering what on earth is going on so please turn to page 17 where all is revealed...
I'm sure many of you are considering whether to upgrade your Atari hardware or buy a different machine and take the emulation route and in this issue we cover some of the options.
If you're considering changing platforms to play games have you considered upgrading your ST, or buying a Falcon, Milan, BRhenix or Hades and buying a dedicated games machine - you'll probably have more fun.
We have a review of the groundbreaking Magnum RAM upgrade which, combined with an accelerator, can give any ST a new lease of life.
Falcon owners feeling the need for more speed can check out the CENTurbo accelerator and take another look at our Nemesis review in AC#3 - or splash out on an AfterBurner.
Atari ST emulators are popping up everywhere offering access to sexy colour displays, CD-ROMs and other peripherals in exchange for a loss of compatibility and varying degrees of hassle. This issue we take a look at the PaCifiST Atari emulator designed to bring classic Atari gaming action to the PC platform!

Finally, I'd like to express my sadness AtariPhile 5 will be the final issue. I looked forward to, and enjoyed, every issue so thanks guys! I'll take this opportunity to invite all former AtariPhile contributors to send their contributions to Atari Computing instead!
