No disrespect here either but when I bought my ST I thought that because it's a
US computer I would see very little info/products/hacks/etc. I was pleasantly
surprised. Even more so when we saw the Atari Laser Printer,PC and the all
American "Gauntlet" (I laughed until a boulder hit me on the head :-).

But who got Landon Dyer's MADMAC assembler and Allan Pratts ALN Linker first?
I spent the best part of a year trying get these. When Allan's new ROMs finally
appear who'll have them first? The USA probably. I am chewing the carpet here
waiting for them (any chance of an ETA Allan).

Also unless you understand German most of the great ST info/.. is nbg anyway.

(No doubt the above comments are a flameable offence :-)
