It is already here, the Sam is dead as a doornail. At least that is what is happening in the Dutch situation, only a handfull of active Sam-users remain, and basically have everything that money could buy for the Sam. So don't expect a market overhere. Even in the very unlikely case that there are people who are willing to buy a Sam overhere in the Netherlands, there is no way that they gonna pay another 100 to a 150 quid for a decent collection of software. And i don't blame them (mind you, all back-issue's of Fred alone would (if they cost a pound per issue) cost you 80 pounds). > This is a chance to do somethig a bit different and take the SAM > into the new millenium with a chance of survival - even if it is only > in emulated form. Emulation is the only way forward at this moment, unless Bob makes a full U-turn and starts promoting and selling the Sam with full and honest enthousiasm. But don't expect much from the new emulator-users unless they already own or have owned a Sam Coupe when it comes to programming-projects. > Go on - send me the death threats that usually accompany > anybody who tries to undermine the great Fred / Format empire. > > [god i love stirring it up!] I know the feeling, and i am glad you did. -- Robert van der Veeke, aka RJV Graphics [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently listening to : Cardcaptor Sakura - OST The trick to walking upright is not to use your knuckles.
