Altough air mail is fast, it's too expensive. I use to buy books and CD's in the net, and the price to send it by air mail would be too expensive if you're buying only 1 or 2 cd's.

I talked with our local dealer in Brazil, and he explained that he can't import larger amounts of software because the sales wouldn't be that good, so he would loose money. And that's the problem: altough people from Brazil wouldn't buy thousands of copies from a software, 15 or 20 copies would help someone to produce more softwares.

Although some parts of their magazines are in english, the major parts aren't. Some of them has just a few english texts, so people outside netherlands can't read it.

Altough they're doing a great job, they can't solve the problems i mentioned. I'll give you an example: In December, he called people in a brazilian MSX list to buy Hnostar 42. almost 30 paid for one, and he sent the money to the club Hnostar. Well, I (and others) am still waiting for it (it's supposed to be here next week, but who knows?). Is that MBT's fault? Not at all. It's because it is coming by ship, and it takes too much time. While a magazine like Hnostar can't be sent by e-mail, a software can. and a software would be here in 10 minutes after you sent it, by snail mail, it will take 2 or 3 months. :-( > >And yet another option: make your product freeware.

I don't know if you can understand this... That's an option as well. But for those who won't make it freeware, selling by e-mail is a good thing.

I mean, most of times, you will pay US$ 20 just to send US$ 10 to someone from Brazil to Netherlands. And i didn't even mentioned the time it will take for the software to travel from Netherlands to Brazil by ship (2 or 3 months).

Well, it doesn't seem to be that difficult, i believe, because many people are already selling softwares by credit cards in the net. See Marat Fayzullin. He sells all his emulators with credit cards.

It's a good idea. Nintendo, for example, had some great games, especially Batman, Castlevania 2 and 3, among others. it would be great if someone could "port" Castlevania 3 (the best game made to nintendo, in my humble opinion) to MSX (write a new game, but with the same musics in enhanced version using FM, better graphics, it could have even more stages, but the game should be the same, etc).

That's great. :-) Maybe i'm asking too much, but it is possible to, in the near future, someone adapt it t so we can install it on HD ? I remember someone from Brazil did it, he even sent to some people a beta version. maybe you could work with him so we could have an english and unprotected version that we could install in HD... That would be cool! :-) And finally, i would like to make a suggestion: Since i'm from Brazil, i (and many others from other country's) can't go to Tilburg. So i won't be able to buy this software. And i don't want to send money by mail, and wait 3-4 months to receive it from normal snail mail. Many people might think the same, so we don't buy those softwares, the coders don't get the money, and both are unhappy. There are lots of good softwares that we could buy and we don't (Sonyc, English Firehawk, etc). So why the people that organizes Tilburg fair and the software coders don't sell their softwares allowing people to pay with credit cards? It would have many advantages. Someone could connect in the net, access a homepage (a safety homepage, of course), send it credit card number, someone would check it to see if it's not a fake number, and then it would send the software by e-mail. No more mail fees, no more time waiting, it would be much simpler and easier, most of all, it would be fast and cheap. :-) It would increase the sales, allowing people to do more softwares, so i think it's good for everybody. The only thing we couldn't have is those disk with nice labels, but that's not really important to me (and the picture could be sent by e-mail to, so we could print it in home, if we like :-) ).
