for the United States? I know that ST APPLICATIONS started
out as a small Mom and Pop limited circulation newsletter
type magazine. ST APPS grew into a very respectable full
glossy page magazine.

It seems with the availability of online services, such as
GEnie and CI$, and the DTP in the ST (PageStream, Calamus),
and the SLM804, that someone could put together a respectable
little magazine on a shoestring budget.

For example, the Phoenix Atari ST Club publishes a bimonthly
newsletter called PHAST which is developed entirely on a 
Mega ST4/SLM804 system using PageStream. We do a camera ready
copy and send it out to be printed, collated, and stapled. We
then put on the mailing address labels (also done on a Mega ST4).

It would be great if the best authors of ST APPLICATIONS and
ST LOG could get together to work on the new ST magazine.

Any ideas outhere??

I mean even Current Notes, which is a nice magazine, started out
as a DC club newsletter.

Just a thought.
