For those of you who have expressed an interest in Spectrum 512 and
"that other program", I have a copy of Colorburst 3000 from Beery'sBit.
(Not too difficult considering that Andrew Beery works at our local
Atari dealership and is a member of the local user group...)

I still have a lot of things to do and try with it, but in a nutshell,
save your money right now, but you'll probably want to buy it soon.
Colorburst will put 800+ colors on the screen in low res, 200+ on the
screen in medium res.  No small feat, obviously.  BUT... in the first
release, there are still some bugs in the package and the manual is
(quite frankly) horrid.  I was told by Kevin VanHook (who is just now
releasing Comics On Disk), that they did a bit of rushing on the manual,
and it shows.  This program will not be for the faint of heart, but it
will do as advertised.  With the next release (it's being worked on),
many of the bugs should be history and the manual in a new and improved
form.  The good news is that although Colorburst itself is NOT PD,
Beery'sBit has included the source code for the program in the manual
so the user has it available if needed.

I really think that Colorburst will be a terrific addition to your
program library, but wait just a bit longer...

(The cost for the general public is $39.95, if I'm not mistaken.)

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  I'll try and help.
