However, I was in Munich last week [Oktoberfest time!] and was impressed by the visibility of the line. For one thing, you can't get on board a bus or subway without seeing an ad for the Mega ST. For another, you find the ST among the most prominently displayed machines in almost every department store. I realize that this doesn't mean they are selling, but it does have a psychological effect: the ST feels more alive over there. In constrast to the States [possibly excluding that big one out West], where the hardest part about buying an ST is to figure out who sells them. Roger MARKS@HDETUD53.bitnet
