Robert Veline, Astro Pyrotechnics
\xa0 The July/August 1987 issue of ST-Log magazine has an article by Matthew Stern called "Atari Sets Off Fireworks!" It features an interview with Robert Veline of Astro Pryrotechnics, a California-based fireworks company. I'll read some snippets from the article. ... \xa0 I found Robert \u2014 who is still in the pyrotechnics industry today \u2014 to get more of the story. This interview took place on June 2, 2017. \xa0 Thanks to Wade at the 1632 Atari ST PodcaST for pointing me to the article in ST-Log magazine. \xa0 After our interview, Robert sent me pictures of his Atari-based firing box -- as well as all of the software for running it, the assembly language source code, Old Mother Hubbard's GCHIP Cook Book, his fireworks simulation software, and more. \xa0 Teaser quote: "We did have one or two shows where you plugged the box in and turned it on -- and it was a 10-second show." \xa0 Atari Sets Off Fireworks! in July/August ST-Log Magazine \xa0 Robert's pictures, source code, and discussion \xa0 Permanent version at Archive.org \xa0 1632 Atari ST PodcaST \xa0 Outro music: Pink Floyd\u2019s Time
