ST Informer
909 Northwest Starlite Place
Grants Pass, OR 97526
12 issues (U.S. 3rd class) $18
12 issues (U.S. 1st class) $27
includes a free PD disk with each 12 issue sub.
i've subscribed for about a year, and i'm fairly pleased. they used
to send out 'free trial' issues periodically, then threatened to stop,
so i decided to send them some money. there's too much game junk, not
enough hard tech stuff (does anyone know of an american magazine
worthwhile in this regard?). the news coverage is good though. i
plan to renew (what more can i say?).
ST World
2463 Latona Ct NE
Salem, OR 97303
$18/yr
i also get 'st world' (the american one), which in my opinion is
another kettle of fish entirely. i've never seen a more poorly edited
rag - i admit i'm a bit of a stickler for grammar and syntax, but i
find st world utterly offensive in this regard. content-wise it's
rather mixed. it is also a rather self-promoting magazine (there is
some sort of connection with the world of atari shows). the main
reason i subscribed was to read dave small's column. i will probably
not be resubscribing to st world; if i do it will be solely because
of dave small.
by the way, i've noticed that both st world and st informer are rather
cavalier about keeping their production deadlines. however, unlike st
express, i don't believe either rag has screwed me out of an issue
yet.
Current Notes
122 N. Johnson Rd
Sterling, VA 22170
$24/yr (10 issues)
there's also 'current notes', produced in my hometown of sterling va
by joe waters. CN is associated in some strong sense with WAACE, the
washington area atari computer enthusiasts (or something like that).
this is the same organization responsible for the annual WAACE
Atarifest held in fairfax va. if you have never seen an issue of
current notes, you're missing a pretty good atari magazine. it's a
user group mag, not a STart-style slick thing, but it has good broad
coverage of the industry, real software, games, news, etc - and, the
editorial quality is excellent. CN also has an enormous PD library (8
bit, ST, and Magic/Specre) at $4 per disk. joe, if there's any way
for you to read this - bravo on nearly six years of great work!!
