I have just read the article 'Computing in cold' (something like that)
in October PCW (Personal Computer World). I have thought of USSR being 
a very attractive marketing place for Atari ST. The writer (don't remember
his name) told that ATARI (the company) missed a big chance to make ST 
de facto in Soviet schools. That's sad. Has any one more information
about this ? I can't see any reason why Atari still couldn't make it
big in the USSR. If Atari is going into the American market in a big 
way in -90, why not USSR as well (competition shouldn't be too fierce :-).

Just a thought. Any comments any one ?
