    "It is with huge regret that we have to announce that Micro Mart, after 31 years & over 1400 issues, will be closing at the end of the year. The final issue of the magazine will be issue 1445, that goes on sale from December 29th. We're hoping to go out with a bang.

    Sadly, it's tougher than ever to produce a weekly computer magazine such as ours, and time has finally caught up with us.

    Thank you so much for everyone who's supported us over the years. We've had a hell of a ride. We're going to miss you all."

    Sad times. Pre-FleaBay Micro Mart's classifieds was where I found most of my bargains. Atari 1040STe for £1, for a start. I've also had a fair few cover features in the mag myself, though not many 'cos the page rate was lower than average - though apparently not low enough to make a profit.
