	In the long dark distant past, about 6months after I got my Lynx
I rang Atari in OZ (naturally) to ask about a list of titles available.
They didn't have any such lists, but mentioned that there was a Lynx Club.
'Yeah? I've never heard of it' says I ever so eloquently. Anyway they send
me the form, and I send back my name, age and $15 AUD. Actually the whole
thing seemed infantile but I get to save 5% off Lynx purchases. So I wait
3 months and the Bag, cap, badge and membership card come through.

	Now, about 7 months later the membership forms are next to the game
displays in Virgin's Computer Games section. There are also questions designed
to pinpoint the Lynx's demographics. Stuff like what Radio stations do you 
listen to and when, which magazines do you read, what TV shows do you watch.
How many games have you for the Lynx and what other gamesconsoles do you own
are other quetions. With the arrival of the Lynx II I sense a big campaign
in the offing and perhaps the real arrival of the Lynx in Australia. Even 
better still is that it now costs $25/year. I live in hope.

	Another thing I noticed was a posting of the Lynx titles, I was most
impressed with the coming soon (though that is a fairly liberal term at Atari)
games. All I want to know is WHEN?
