Electronic Magazine
StarText began as a means of simply delivering electronic newspaper content to subscribers, but it quickly evolved into a unique electronic magazine. Although the service only managed to attract about 2,000 subscribers, it created a loyal group of columnists who acted as unpaid columnists who had paid to be subscribers. Their columns were only in text and originally without color, but the content of the columns were original, varied and of a sufficiently reasonable standard to maintain their own readership. Because these columns were basically under the control of their creators the originality, scope and depth of the information presented was both unique and extensive.

Famous quotes containing the words electronic and/or magazine:
“The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“Experience cannot be transferred. We may give wise advice, but we cannot give wisdom to follow it.”
—H., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 230-3 (May 1828)
