Did the Atari Explorer magazine die a quiet death? After the first four
(?) issues, it seemingly has vanished into the vaporware warehouse. Perhaps
it was prophetic that the last issue had a black cover?

No. Actually the magazine was doing quite well. The only problem we had
was staff -- we are trying to do an awful lot with few people, so the folks
involved in the magazine kept getting pulled into other tasks, to the
detriment of the magazine's schedule.

Solution: we hired David Ahl and Betsy Staples, both formerly of Creative
Computing, and let them set up shop back in Morris Plains, NJ. We have
given them enough corporate backing to put together a real staff whose sole
duty is the magazine. The Explorer will continue to be Atari's voice, and
will be stonger due to more attention devoted to it.

Look for the first issue under Ah/ & Staples in July, and bimonthly for the
next while. 1987 -- monthly, if ahl goes well.

I know I should have kept the card that told me how to subscrib, but I
didn't. (sigh)

How about posting the subscription info.

You know Neil, I could have sworn that when I bought my ST back in October
of last year I sent in the subsciption card to AE with either the bill me
or credit card fields ('fields' ... must but a 'puter nut!) filled in.
Never did get a single issue. Course I don't remember getting billed
either. Oh well, how can I tell if my subcription was never filled or if
there was no magazine to fill it with and will get one when it becomes
available?

Please call Sherry Cann at 408-745-4204. She has the subscription records
and can give you a status report. Judging by your description, your request
has vanished -- you should have received SOMETHING by now.
