| Can anyone post a clarification of what is going on with the magazine 
| (Atari Explorer) and Atari itself. 

There was a post to Genie about 2 weeks ago by an Atari spokesperson (I 
think it was Bob Brodie) and the essence was that Atari Explorer was moving 
under direct control of Atari in order to provide a better mag. The last 
issue of the old Atari Explorer was supposed to be mailed out ASAP (I 
haven't got mine). There was wording about commitment to subscribers 
and advertisers remaining a high priority.

That was all the statement said.

I find this curious, about 3 months ago I got an early renewal request from
Atari Explorer claiming "we need to demonstrate subscriber commitment to our
advertisers so please renew early and we'll give you a nice discount".
