Please remember that the Atari ST is much more popular in Europe, and that you would cut off many people over here unless you also have a group or at least a point of distribution in Europe. I'm sure the situation for the PC is similar, even if a greater percentage of Minix-PC has sold in the lower part of that half-continent you insist on calling America :-) :-) :-) Apart from that, I'd like to be in a Minix User Group. Unfortunately, I probably won't have time to spare to *DO* anything in it :-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitnet: VBRANDT@DBNUAMA1 (will go away late '89) Volker A.
