Can I further the request, and ask what Atari magazine readers of the net
find most useful?  If possible, could someone post/send addresses for
those magazines?

I've been trying for 2 weeks to find any Atari magazine locally so that
I could look at current mail order prices, and, since I just upgraded
my machine, consider once again subscribing.  In the large Capital
District of NY I haven't been able to find so much as a game magazine
that even mentions Atari on the cover!  I know that STart is gone, but
Amiga's have 3 serious magazines with available distribution around here;
Atari has none.  I'll probably end up subscribing because of this, but
what's going on here?
