The October issue of STart arrived in Seattle area stores about a week ago.
The September issue was cancelled so that they can have more time to do
this new changeover. Antic is now merged in, and former readers of ANALOG
and ST-LOG are now receiving START subscriptions. Frankly, the new STart
looks much like the old one. I don't know why they skipped an issue 
considering how much advertizing revenue they gave up.
