Take my advice, never float the idea of starting a new magazine unless
you have some objection to leading a normal life!
After the closure of Atari World and ST Format, I thought that the
Atari scene needed a new magazine to complement those still available.
Just going on a gut feeling, I asked on NeST and CIX for support, and
received a big response.
What has amazed me is the amount of goodwill shown towards us. Many of
the letters sent to us have contained suggestions, offers of help and
heartfelt best wishes. For me personally, these messages of support
have made all the hard work worth it.
I would also like to thank our advertisers for having the faith in us
to get it all together. There are few firms willing to put money into
the Atari scene, and those that do deserve our support and business.
As publisher of this magazine, I know the sacrifices that have been
made, and I would like to thank everyone that has contributed in
whatever way. It's probably wrong to pick out anyone in particular, but
both Joe Connor and Darryl Godsmark do deserve a special mention for
the unbelievable amount of work they have done in such a short time -
my thanks gentlemen!
Finally, this is our first issue, we hope you enjoy it, it's not
perfect, but we hope you find it good value and useful. Please do fill
in the survey form, it will shape the way we do things in future. We
need both your support and input, and we will take note of your ideas
and suggestions!
Best wishes
Mike Kerslake - publisher
