                BIG SURPRISE (THE BIGGEST EVER):
               THE ST NEWS CORRESPONDENCE ADDRESS

                      by Richard Karsmakers

 Do  you think you've written a nice review of a  game,  utility,
or  pieca  hardware?  Have you  written  something  non-computer-
related that you'd like to see published?  A true novel  perhaps?
Has your girlfriend finished with you because she saw Don Johnson
on  TV?  Do  you like Metallica or guitar wizards?  Do  you  read
books?  Do  you  hate Dickens?  Do you breathe  several  times  a
minute?  Do  you  study English?  Are your  organising  a  Coding
Convention?  Are  you bidepal?  Do you read from the left to  the
right? Do you like the ST? Do you hate Speccies? Are you in love?
Are you not in love?  Do you want to get in contact with other ST
users?  If  any of these questions are answered by "yes" or  "no"
(or  even "maybe",  "I don't know" or "I guess) then  you're  the
person we're looking for. Just write something and send it to us!
 If you feel you've got something to say to us, no matter what it
is about,  please take the trouble to jot down something on paper
(or a tape,  or video, or piece of ladies' underwear) and send it
to  us.  We like anything (yes,  we aren't particularly  choosy).
Part of the reasons behind setting up this correspondence address
was  to gain contacts with freaky computer people from  all  over
the  globe - lots of 'em!  So far we have gotten into touch  with
Nutty  Norwegians,   Extravagent  English  and  even  an   Insane
Icelander  -  but  where are  the  Furious  French,  the  Amazing
Americans,  the Incomprehensible Indians,  the Swell  Swahilians,
the  Jolly  Japanese,   the  Baffling  Belgians,  the  Stupefying
Swedes,  the Ideal Irish,  the Absolute Australians, the Fabulous
Fins   and  the  Grotesque  Germans?   We  appreciate  loads   of
correspondence, both idiotic and of high intellectual value!
 We are NOT some kind of elite corps of writers.  We want to make
lots  of friends,  and we want to offer every computer freak  the
possibility to become FAMOUS (well, a bit maybe).

 So  if  the above has convinced you to get into touch  with  us,
send  your correspondence (or anything else that doesn't  contain
something that ticks) to:

 ST NEWS
 Sibeliuspark 771
 NL-5343 BT  Oss
 The Netherlands

 If you'd like to have it read by me, please make good ol' Stefan
(who  lives  at the correspondence address) thoroughly  aware  of
that fact - he often tends to forget mentioning things to me.  If
you lack having complete and utter trust of Stefan's memory (like
I do), you can always send your correspondence to me directly:

 Richard Karsmakers
 Looplantsoen 50
 NL-3523 GV  Utrecht
 The Netherlands

 If you want Stefan to read it,  please make me thoroughly  aware
of that fact!

 Er...."wot's ze big surprise?"
 Well, there isn't any, really (again). But we had to employ some
kind  of trick to get you to read this article (I bet  you  would
never have read this normally).
 Sorry for that.  Sue us.  Or,  even better:  Send us a long  and
emotional letter why you are disappointed because of the lack  of
surprise.  Direct your letter to any of the above addresses  (but
preferably mine as it was my idea in the first place)...

Disclaimer
The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared in old ST NEWS issues. Please take into consideration that the author(s) was (were) a lot younger and less responsible back then. So bad jokes, bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact and/or payment information, as well as deadlines/release dates of any kind should be regarded as outdated. Due to the fact that these pages are not actually contained in an Atari executable here, references to scroll texts, featured demo screens and hidden articles may also be irrelevant.
