     No there isn't a lot there for Atari people yet.  If the readership
builds, then we can expect that there will be.  Keep in mind that much
of what's put into 68 Micro J. comes from us readers.  As such, what
they're waiting for is submissions as well as subscribers.  If you have
something to share with others, then 68 Micro could be a nice vehicle
because it tends to be more open and less biased (notice how *many*
different systems are already supported?).  A lot of high tech'ers
are not on and probably never will be on Usenet.  BIX and CIS can be
too expensive as well.  Good magazines are cheaper and reach more
people.
