Also a 1990 alumni, Oct 1990 (still have receipt but not for Atari, it was for a "8086" MS-DOS machine).

But unlike you I cannot remember where I first saw the the ad's. I THINK it was Electronic Musician (?) OR a guitar rag magazine, or?? I do remember seeing the ads a few months before buying it and they were very BUSY ads, it listed everything but a kitchen sink, so was intrigued.

Being a guitar-only player since the 50's (still am really) I had just started down the "EM" and synth path the year prior ('89) with a GR-50 MIDI guitar synth (STILL have it), an MT-32 for some Sierra games (it's long gone), and a sequencer Cakewalk V2 DOS (a hex on DAW's grin ) that opened me up to possibles I never thought possible (at least at home) using my TEAC 4070 and Fostex X15 together.

But after getting BIAB V2 DOS I was simply floored and happy as a "pig in fecal matter."

Have been on the BIAB in particular, PG in general, band-wagon ever since. I have never missed an upgrade.
