If I read the same COMPUTE! magazine as one being discussed here, the new
issue has an article describe the European market on computers, and this
author from Guardian, a newspaper in U.K. explains and describes how the
Amiga and Atari owns the market in Germany and U.K., and the trends and
the P.C. etc. Very good marketing and trend article, and shows that
MS-DOS does not (but trying very hard recently) cut in the education and
home market there. Also companies like Amstrad are mentioned.

If the less imformed MS-DOS users read the article, they have to ask themselves
why the European chooses the Amiga or Atari, why not MS_DOS?

The magazine was sold to OMNI (I heard), and from then on they dropped 
coverage on other platforms including Amiga, Atari ST, C64 etc.

MS-DOS/IBM is not the only computer, they will find out.

cheers,
