So, Rich Covert is terribly cross that Atari have started selling the STe over
here first, eh? Well, everything has to be sold somewhere first, and it seems
fairly logical to release the STe in the area where ST's do best. Why should
everything be sold in the USA first? The idea that this degrades America to the
status of a Third World Country is a) insulting to LDC's, b) insulting to
Europe (should we have got it after the USA to confirm our status) and c)
indicative of the sort of inferiority complex that hardware scrolling won't
cure.

Honestly, some people.
