I feel sorry for US Atari users because of the small user and dealer base that you have there. I routinely pick up mags from England and I know users in Germany and the ST support there is great. It's also great in Ontario (can't speak for the rest of Canada). Ottawa has a very good dealer base. We also have had releases of machines way ahead of the US. For example, the PC-1 came out here more than a year ago. It makes me sad to see an announcement that PC-3s will be in the US SOON when they have been available for some time in Canada (I'll have to check, but I think the PC-4 is out too). In my town of 4000, there are about 150 STs in use; many are Megas. The Ottawa area has the National Capital Atari Users' Group (NCAUG) for support and our town has the Valley ST Users' Group (VSTUG). Hopefully, the US market will take off. Europe has taken to Atari, so has Canada. Let's get the US boys (and girls) on board.
