(The above has been a bit edited)

     While there are a number of Atari Magazines available, may
I suggest that those interested in 68000 technology also look into
(and hopefully buy) 68 Micro Journal.  It's main thrust is single
board computers, and *all* Motorola chipsets.  It has supported the
Radio Shack Color Computer well in the past and I expect it would
support the Atari as well, if Atari users supported it.  There is
a very important roll that this magazine has played for the Color
Computer and can play for the 520ST users.  They are *not* biased
and call a spade a spade.  They have been openly critical when deserved.
The value of that as opposed to the rose-color glasses approach of
most magazines is refreshing.  The extremely high quality writing
is also.  How many other magazines have been able to boast a long
running series on Ada (5 parts so far)?  Few magazines have printed as
much on the 'C' language.  Flex, Uniflex and OS-9 are supported in
6809 and 68000 family forms.  I hope you support the various dedicated
Atari magazines as well, but don't overlook the wider picture.

                                         Cheers! -- Jim O.
