Bl**dy hell! That's sounds just like what happened when two publishers exchanged computer mags - one publisher consolidated his coverage of Amstrad computers by gaining another Amstrad magazine and the other eliminated a competing ST mag - ST Update which, admittedly wasn't brilliant but it wasn't full of games and covered programming topics. I could do without ST Action which is just full of games reviews anyway and I can do without ST User since it no longer contains much of any interest but ST World is in a class of it's own as far a British Computer magazines go. I hope it doesn't turn into some ST User/ST World hybrid, I'd probably ask for my subscription money back if it did.... >* Mathew Lodge, University Of York, UK {A black hole in the universe of * >* * electronic mail} * Mark Davidson. {Just gimme what I want for my ST and I'll be happy}

M.Davidson deplores the possible demise of 'ST World'. I agree. 'ST World' is the best microcomputer magazine - for whatever machine. Its demise would be a disaster. Long live 'ST World'!
