People in the states don't collect british coinage much either. They collect what they know. Thanks to the net, however, we can find out more about other computers/countries easily. By all means, tell us about Spectrums, and why we should think they're better than commodores. Sinclair certainly didn't bother to tell us about them. In exchange, we'll be happy to tell you about US computers you may not have heard of. Actually, for me anyway, it is. I live here. (and, btw, probably for the VCF, which, coincidentally, is taking place in the US.) (But next year, I'll probably be travelling to the UK for Billing '98 (the 50th) when I'll pick up some Sinclairs!) --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad sinasohn(a)crl.com that none but madmen know."
