Notable Stuff:
Premiere issue of A.N.A.L.O.G. 400/800 magazine! ANALOG, in this case, is an acronym standing for "Atari Newsletter And Lots Of Games".
Domestic subscription rates were $10 for 6 issues, $18 for 12 issues, or $26 for 18 issues.
The "Graphically Speaking" column features two plotting charts you can photocopy and use to plot out your own graphics before entering them into a program. A very helpful feature for any programmer interested in going beyond text-only software.
There's a very simple way to determine exactly when your Atari 400 or 800 computer was manufactured, as disclosed in the Bugs & Bytes column this issue. How fun!
