Of course. Who has forgotten the amateur groups?
I think that if ASCII havenīt seen the work of amateur groups they never would

I have no memory problems. And itīs said that new MSX will be backward

So Msound, GFX9000, Mscsi, bla bla bla, bla bla bla, will work fine in this new

Amateur groups maybe could be professional groups (SW and HW developers).
Havenīt you thought this?

Yes. We all will stop making MSX meetings ...

Yes, you can also have made this question in 1985, 1988 and 1990.
