I also liked the new Atari User magazine. However, I'm not sure I'd recommend a subscription yet. This is intended as a free distribution magazine, so it should be available at no cost at your local Atari dealer. It is also being distributed through newsstands at $1.00 per issue, cheaper than the subscription price. Also, while this first issue is well-written, informative, and timely, it is their first issue. I'd like to see if they can keep up the quality before sending off for a subscription. Especially since their is no price savings for subscribing. I imagine it will continue to be good, since it is put out by the same folks who published the excellent ST JOURNAL. In short, if spending $15 bucks is no big deal to you, and you'd like to have the magazine mailed to you, go for it. Otherwise, try picking it up over the counter. You may find that you don't care for it, or may be able to pick it up for free. -- Matthew Seitz Note new address: seitz@netcom.com

Hi Matthew, Actually you are correct, AtariUser is intended as a free magazine for the users. It was also intended for the dealers (both computer and bookstores) to give it away for free; but a few dealers and several bookstores said they would not carry it if AtariUser was a free magazine (that's why AtariUser has a $1 cover price, so those that insist on charging for it can). The $15 price is actually an "introductory price" available for this month only. The annual subscription rates will be: $ 21.30 US Bulkrate $ 41.30 US First Class This subscription prices are set according to the cost of postage. AtariUser is offering subscriptions not for profit; but for users who cannot pickup AtariUser in the user's local area. In addition to computer dealers and bookstores, AtariUser will also be available free to/from local user groups. AtariUser's future looks very promising with John Nagy (of Z*Net) as the Editor-In-Chief. The AtariUser staff feels that the first issue had few mistakes, and the quality will only continue to get better. Bye........
