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.
