We're here! Two Worlds Publishing is proud to present to the Atari
community our first issue, containing articles by a variety of authors on
a wide array of topics from telecommunications to programming, and much
more.
__
/_/ Just what is Processor Direct?
`-`-------------------------------
Processor Direct is a magazine for nearly all Atari computer users,
containing information valuable to users of the original 520ST up to
users of the Falcon030. Processor Direct is also helpful to the new user
or even the seasoned expert -- odds are most everyone will find the
information they've been looking for.
We currently print in a large format (page size is 11.5 inches wide by
13.5 inches tall) with full color covers and black and white internal
pages. Each issue's cover is printed on 80 pound gloss paper, with the
internal pages on quality 80 pound matte paper.

/_/ What is in Processor Direct?
`-`-----------------------------
We offer a variety of columns on topics including Graphics, Music, and
Programming, along with reviews of hardware and software of both
commercial and shareware nature. We've also got the latest news items on
topics like new software and hardware in the Newswire and Recent
Developments sections.
In the first issue we also have a survey which asks a variety of
questions so we can get to know our readers better. The survey itself is
8.5x11 inches so it can be easily photocopied and mailed to us.

/_/ What won't I find in Processor Direct?
`-`---------------------------------------
You won't find long boring articles on topics that no one cares about,
and you also won't get page upon page of unbroken dull text on cheap
newsprint paper. You're going to be stuck with interesting articles
printed on quality paper...we're terribly sorry! <grin>

/_/ Why not just read messages on-line?
`-`------------------------------------
Reading messages from USENET newsgroups and from the national on-line
services is incredibly time consuming, often costly, and some times the
accuracy of the information in the form of news can be doubtful. These
networks are excellent to find the answers to your questions and to talk
to knowledgeable people, but if you've ever read any of the USENET
newsgroups, you know that contradictions and rumor run rampant. We obtain
our news directly from the source, with no one to interpret or twist it.
Not to mention, with each information packed issue (at only $3.50) you
get easy to understand information that would normally take hours to read
and compile from one day, forget a whole month.
__
/_/ When and where can I get my copy?
`-`----------------------------------
Processor Direct is available now for direct order for $3.50 ($4.00 in
Canada) each from TWP, and also through a variety of Atari dealers. You
can also subscribe to Processor Direct for just $25.00 (US$33 in Canada)
for 12 issues.

/_/ How can I advertise in Processor Direct?

Direct may be one of the best ways to tell the community about your
