| Welcome to the December 2004 issue. May I take this opportunity to wish all of our readers a very merry Christmas (may Santa bring you all an Atari 10 in 1). Well, against all odds, we have reached our momentous 50th issue and what a journey it has been. Roll on the next 50! Right on cue, I'm currently nursing a cold which I'll no doubt enjoy over the Christmas holiday (and be over by the time I start work again) but still have the challenge of Christmas shopping... so until next year :-) Best wishes Matthew Bacon, Editor matt@myatari.net The big 50 Welcome to MyAtari's half-century issue, already! Matthew and I are very pleased to have reached this milestone, it could not have happened without the generous support of MyAtari's readers and contributors - together we make a great community. Special thanks to James Joell this issue for providing the basis of a cover picture when we were all stuck! This is the first Christmas cover design that is not completely or at least partially 3D rendered (did anyone know that the robot on the cover of issue 14 was not rendered but in fact a photograph of an old toy?! This was then layered with some 3D rendered elements). Incidentally, that Atari Player On Board sign is not made up, those were made for real as car window stickers. Look for them at Best Electronics - and I'm sure you'll find a ton of other stickers and badges you never knew you wanted! Still catching up I'm currently sitting in the MyAtari area at Retrovision 5 (February 2005), on Friday, which is generally considered to be setting up day but it's already buzzing intensely. Rob Perry has just arrived and is setting up on the opposite side of the room as a result of MyAtari having engulfed more space than even we could imagine, and Thomas is yet to come, tomorrow! I've loaded up with new equipment with the intention of doing some work on the magazine during the event, we'll see how far that one goes!
