Support
Early editions primarily focused on the Atari 8-bit computers (400/800/XL/XE) and the newly-launched 16-bit ST range (although they included news of other Atari products such as the relaunched 2600 and 7800 consoles).
As the popularity of the ST increased, it was given its own pull-out section called Atari ST User. From the April 1987 issue onwards, Atari ST User was spun off as a magazine in its own right and went on to outlive its parent by a number of years.
Following the split, Atari User was almost entirely oriented towards the 8-bit computers (with brief 2600 coverage). Until late 1987, when Page 6 magazine became available on newsstands, Atari User was the only British magazine with dedicated (or even significant) support for the 8-bit Ataris to be sold in shops.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“She isn’t harassed. She’s busy, and it’s glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mother’s time seems like the scarcity of the top executive’s time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“‘Tis not enough to help the feeble up,
But to support him after.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
