It isn't just Atari that caused this magazine to fold, there were two
other factors.

1.  The marketing of the magazine was terrable.  It was high priced and
packaged so it was unable to read (I refuse to buy a magazine unless I
know what I'm getting).

2.  The economy is not in as good a shape as the government would have
you beleive.  Many economists say we are already in a depression, and
many buisnesses are closing.  Another sign of this was the lack of
fireworks displays here in Phoenix Arizona.  Although around the country
many fireworks displays were cancelled due to drought, the weather here
has been normal, and this year there were only about three displays
here, and there are usually over fifty!  All of the local malls seem to
be losing the stores that had resided there for years.  Has anyone else
noticed a similar trend?


I just felt it necessary to bring this into mind, that not only Atari
related businessess are closing.
