Are you in Russia? I would be curious as to how well the Amiga is doing over there? How many machines are in use? I would assume that the Amiga 500 machines dominate number-wise.

It's delightful to see some news from the USSR aside from how terrible
everything is these days and how the man/woman on the street wants Gorby's
head, etc. I was wondering whether your country (which has, from all available
evidence, produced some outstanding programmers) had some machines worthy
of their attention! Keep us posted; we're interested! And Happy New Year!
