- As Xav is one of the writers for AW, he should know. The only solution he saw
- at the moment would be if System Solution or someone else (who?) would buy it
- and I doubt that.
-
- The question is why they closed it. Wasn't it Compo who owned AW? Does this
- mean that Compo will leave the Atari as well?

-
- There still is 'Atari Applications' in UK and 'Current News' in the US. Maybe
- AA can come back as a paper mag as I have always heard that it was a very good
- mag, even better than AW.

-
- I have had a feeling that some in the AW staff wasn't that interested in the
- Atari world anyway. I could never realy stand Andrew Write and Ofir sounded
- more and more uninterested on what were goin on with Atari. This is my opinion
- ofcourse. On the good side was that there were some new fresh blod with people
- like Joe Conner, Danesh and Xav (and some more that I can't remember the names
- of right now) that still loves their Atari computers.
-
- Maybe this hasn't got anything to do with Bad Mood, but it's of big interest
- of all Atari users...
