I thought people might be interested to know that the ST is the mainstay of the editorial office of one of Vietnam's biggest-selling magazines. Toi Tre (hope I remembered that right) is a youth magazine produced in Ho Chi Minh City. According to the presenters of the TV show I saw it on (a travel/style show called 'Rough Guide to the World') it's a bit tame by Western standards, but it does criticize the government and it names names in corruption scandals. It's name means 'two-thirds': two-thirds of the Vietnamese population is apparently under 30 years of age. Anyway, the show did some interviews in the editorial office, and this contained lots of STs - some Megas, some in 520/1040 boxes. I couldn't quite make out which program(s) were running. The screens showed a line of function key icons along the bottom, so the program might have been Word Writer or 1st Word Plus. I could be wrong, though. I wonder what the Atari market in South East Asia is like? Anyone know? Graham
