In a city like Bath tourists are a nightmare. All the restaurants
and pubs are crowded; shopping is like the start of the London
Marathon
If you're nodding your head and agreeing with me, I'd like to
throw another thought at you the only thing that keeps the CPCs
alive is the European market which most of those affluent tourists
create
It's a fact of life that if the CPCs weren't the number-one home
computer in Europe, it probably wouldn't be worth the while of
Amstrad to produce them or software houses to support them to
the extent they do. The CPCs are probably the most truly inter-
national machine (with the exception of America) and here at
AA
we are fully aware of it.
We get letters from Ireland, Scandinavia. Holland, France.
Germany. Poland. New Zealand. Australia. South Africa, Greece,
Spam and others
-
all with thnving CPC markets. So I'd like to say
a special hello to all our international readers. We won't forget
you're out there, because you're important to us and the rest of the
industry.
Readers from all nations will be interested in the results of our
questionnaire. For highlights turn to the news pages. Fmd out what
sort of company you've been keeping.
Well. I'm off to do a raindance for the tourists, because it's
persistently drizzling outside. As usual the British summer is doing
an excellent job of driving people indoors to use their computers
and I'm doing my bit to keep them there Hi-yo-yo-yo-yo hi-ya-ya-
ya-ya wooo woooo!
BALL CRAZY
Bouncing balls again, risking deflating expenences as
they bounce merrily through a budget blockbuster.
THE PILGRIM
The happy wanderer loses himself in two compilations

the over-16s.
