A group of Atari 8-bit users in Turkey has been sending letters to user groups in the United States and Canada. The Turkish group has been sending money in the hopes that the domestic user groups will return public-domain software and utilities. Apparently, the Turks love the 130XE computer. But, software and hardware are very expensive overseas. An 800XL can cost as much as $800, and monitors can be priced over $1,000.

ANALOG encourages foreign Atari user groups to contact us about your group's activities and interest.
