ST-Log (April 1988)

Cover of the April 1988 issue of ST-Log
ST-Log was one of a couple of Atari ST magazines available in the U.S. I don't think the Atari ST was quite as popular as the Amiga but it was reasonably close, at lest during their early years. The April 1988 issue of ST-Log includes:
Features
- The Atari ST Buyer's Guide - A look at various products for the Atari ST in various categories. Some items covered here include utility software such as Copy II ST and Label Master Elite, application software such as Regent Word II and Word Writer, entertainment software such as Aegis Animator and Printmaster Plus, Games such as Flight Simulator II and Chessmaster 2000, and much much more.
- Mouse-Ka Mania! - A look at this desktop accessory (free in the included disk) that allows you to change your mouse pointer and even animate it.
- 1st Convert Utility - A type-in program that converts a standard ASCII file into a 1st Word or Word Writer ST file.
- WordPerfect - A review of WordPerfect for the Atari ST.
- The Northeast Atari Fair - A look at New England's first Atari computer fair.
- ChkDsk - This floppy/hard disk exploration and repair tool is included on the cover disk for this issue.

They say that to remember is to live again, and when I read a reference to the Atari company, I feel like dusting off my old Atari console and checking to see if any of the video game cartridges still work.
And the computer mouse, which was an accessory I got to know long after I had a computer, has changed a lot compared to the computer mice we use today.
