   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 :-(
