Big news for START subscribers! In just two months, you'll be holding something special in your hands: the START Atari ST Buyer's Guide. It's a special bonus issue of START, packed to the brim with reviews, comparison charts and news of hardware and software for your ST. Exciting things are happening in the ST world, and the place to see it all is in the START bonus Buyer's Guide

The Buyer's Guide will be on sale on newsstands November 1st, but if you're a START subscriber, you'll get it free--in addition to all your regular subscription issues! That's a real bonus, at no extra charge! If you're not yet a subscriber, it's not too late--you can still get the bonus Buyer's Guide, along with four issues of START complete with the START disk and all START programs, for the regular subscription price. Just fill out the subscription card you'll find bound into this issue.

We think you'll want to be here, too--to see all the new and exciting things we've been conjuring up for the premier ST magazine. You've told us you want more news and reviews--easy-to-use technical tips, tutorials that don't take an engineering degree to understand--and ongoing coverage, advance looks and perspectives on every part of the ST world.

In the months to come, you'll see it all, from news and reviews of hot ST hardware and software, including the laser printer and the Mega ST, to new columns and tutorials on graphics, word processing, MIDI, games, desktop publishing, business--even a special column for new ST owners, to help you get the most out of that sleek grey rectangle once you've uncrated it.

And of course, you'll still find the high-powered technical information that's made START the place programmers and developers turn--and that's made START the place to turn for the best ST programs in every issue!

As we grow, we want to hear from you. Remember, START is your magazine, so let us know how we're doing.
