-- Hello all, There have been several requests for information about Amigas in Japan, but no answers as of yet, it seems. If anyone has information in the following areas: - Amiga dealers in Japan - Amiga users or user groups in Japan - experiences re: Amiga in Japan please send email. I will reply to EVERY message, and send out whatever information I accumulate. I will be working in Japan for about a year, taking my A3000 (wife and daughter too :-), and I'd like some interaction with fellow Amigazoids when over there.

Thank you. I thought nobody cared. Sorry about the E-mail, in the area of computer networks GE is either conservative or backwards - I'm still not sure which. I will be getting in touch with Commodore Japan Ltd. and will post a brief summary of what I find. I think that there will be one overriding interest in Japanese applications, Japanese word processing. It is an area of growing interest in the US and elsewhere. Apple recently began selling their Japanese OS in the US. Does anyone else out there have any info?? -- ------ Ed Gow ------ uwm!mrsvr!gemed!sakari!gow ----------- My opinions are NOT those of GE.
