Maybe you're easily satisfied with the three or four Atari magazines that
are left in the market...   unfortunately, you've got to cross ANALOG and
ST-LOG off your list, since Atari Corp's capricious treatment of the US
marketplace has forced ANALOG out of business after many years of trying to
support Atari.
 
This leaves...?
 
STart  (disk? nondisk? potluck, depending on the B.Dalton)
ST Informer (not bad, but never seen one in B.Dalton)
ST World (Bleeech.. besides, no B.Dalton would carry it)
Atari Interface Magazine (virtually unknown outside of Atari user groups)
 
Umm...  I'm running out of options here... can you help me with some more
of all those ST mags you want or need..?
 
The point is, magazine publishing is NOT an altruistic profession.. Atari
Corp is playing with people's lives and livelihoods with their game playing.
Who can afford to support a company like Atari when it becomes a decision
between blindly supporting Atari, or eating..?
 
Like it or not, that's what it's finally come down to in the Atari world.
