GREY M AT T E R
far as computers go. America is
- generally seen as the place where it
all happens. The ST and Amiga were
signed in the States, and a high
portion of software development
the two machines goes on there.
I Some American companies have
ks with companies this side of the
big pond. Activision and Electronic
Arts, t o name but two. The U.S.
software is shipped in and resold.
However, there's nothing to stop
enterprising individuals ringing u p
the States, buying a load of stuff,
shipping it over here and reselling it
without any official sanction. Such
deals are disparagingly called 'grey
imports'. As was the case reported
last month when Gainstar imported
the US version of Calamus against
Atari's wishes, these grey imports
annoy the mainstream distributors.
This is supposedly because (a) the
U.S. version is often different to the
U.K. version; (b) the importer (who
just resells boxes as they arrive in
the country) can't answer user's
technical questions. B u t g r e y
importers often g e t t h e product
before the main distributor.
Companies feel that grey import
versions o f t h e i r software c a n
unfairly give them a bad reputation.
This is fair enough, and all moves to
provide better support for users are
to be welcomed.
However, it's grossly unfair that
European users should be forced to
wait many months for products that
have been out in the States (eg.
Workbench 1.3 and Calamus). After
all, putting a batch of boxes on a
plane doesn't take long.
If distributors want to cut grey
imports out, there is a very simple
way to do it: ship the products in as
soon as they are released i n the
States, and charge a fair exchange
rate for them. Unless the finacnial
markets have changed dramatically,
$1 doesn't equal E l , despite what
many suppliers would h a v e y o u
believe.
Let's have a fair deal for all!
