Of course, there are many ST sold in Europe, especially in Germany, but
the Atari ST is far away from being "the largest personal computer in
Europe". STs are mainly bought because of their 70-Hz monochrom display.
But there are much more Amiga 500 sold in Germany simple for playing
video games. Today nearly nobody buys an Atari ST and also noone buys an
Atari TT. But there are many A3000 sold in Germany. Our local computer
shop sold about 45 A3000 till today and really 0 (NULL, zero) TTs!

Greets, Matthias
