It seems to me that many of the people who oppose this development think
of the Atari world as the USA only, whereas most of it is here in Europe.
I have not yet seen ads for GCR here, just as Neodesk, for example, has only
just become available here. Commercial software takes longer to travel around,
if it makes it at all, so a European shareware product makes a lot of sense
for us. Of course, if GCR is so good, it will presumably sweep aside any 
shareware equivalent as soon as it is sold here...

I have no desire for a MAC emulator myself, as, frankly, I think MACs are best
used as door stops or lump anchors.

Cuddles,
Jan Ameij
