I have read that the ST is the best selling personal computer in free Europe (an archaic term at best), and in England specifically, it is second in sales to Amstrad. In North America the largest user base is probably around Toronto. A Timeworks sales rep told me that they sell more software in Eastern Canada for the ST than in all of the US. Remember that we have a tenth of the US population... Forget about the US market. They are still debating whether the mouse is a good thing or whether real men should use line interfaces. I'm surprised that they use a crutch like the keyboard, instead of punch cards or dipswitches! Software companies have told me that it is better to deal with Atari Canada than Atari US for help in North America, so tell your friend to give Atari Canada a call (I think it's in Markham, Ontario). --- * Via ProDoor 3.0R
