This could be a great day for the ST as this magazine was from 1986 - 1990 a very nice non games magazine catering for the ST community. Perhaps this re-publication as a monthly is in line with Atari UK's aim at capturing more of the professional computing market. Dave H (D.C.Halliday@newcastle.ac.uk) I wholeheartdly support the re-float of ST World, but I refuse to buy ST User to get it. My reason is this. I once had a subscription to a good mag called ST User which had a fairly good mix of Hardware, Progging and Games etc. However one day about a year ago they started a 'new look', which I find not only less appealing but downright insulting. I am not a 16 year old hacker games player and object to the comment style in the magazine. In the letters section they fail to take anything seriously and the rest of the magazine is not much better. At least ST World always treated its readers as though they had an IQ above 6. ST World itself isn't published by Atari UK, its not published by Europress (aka Europa publishing). If they re-launch it as a standalone mag with the format they established in the quarterly segment of their history (2 issues) and encourage serious advertisers in there then I'm all for it. ...Les...
