    With the arrival of European ST magazines in the U.S., a Stateside
STer cannot help but marvel over the ST software and hardware in
Europe.  How I wish that our selections of peripherals and programs
could approach that of Europe's.
    Many of the European ads offer to sell product internationally
but don't give the procedure:  1) Do we convert $$$ to European currency?
2) Is there an airmail option rather than ocean mail? 3) Is there an
internation reply coupon option?
    Secondly, what about American duty charges?
    Finally, why is it that the more polished European ST magazines
are CHEAPER than the U.S. magazines?  Example, the U.S. STart Magazine
costs $14.95 with diskette.  The British ST magazine, Atari ST User
costs $7.97 with diskette from my dealer.  Even with duty, if charged,
the cost to me is 50% less than the American magazine with diskette.
I'd assume that advertising is the key, lowering ST User's cost.
    At any rate, it is great seeing European magazines here in the
STates at a regular basis.  I only wish that [CENSOR...ATARI BASH...CENSOR]..
