1. I didn't know there was a sea between the USA and Canada.
2. I think Atari ships to other countries first because Atari diddles
too long figuring out how to market the machines here. The Atari
has a serious identity crisis.
2a. I don't think shipping to other countries is such a bad thing, especially
if the dollar is weak elswhere.

I was always under the impression that most ST/Megas are sold in 1st
world countries like W Germany, Great Britan, Canada, and France.
