We already have one local dealer, it's the MBT (MSX Brazilian Team). Altough
they're doing a great job, they can't solve the problems i mentioned. I'll give
you an example: In December, he called people in a brazilian MSX list to buy
Hnostar 42. almost 30 paid for one, and he sent the money to the club Hnostar.
Well, I (and others) am still waiting for it (it's supposed to be here next week,
but who knows?). Is that MBT's fault? Not at all. It's because it is coming by
ship, and it takes too much time. While a magazine like Hnostar can't be sent by
e-mail, a software can. and a software would be here in 10 minutes after you sent
it, by snail mail, it will take 2 or 3 months. :-(

That's an option as well. But for those who won't make it freeware, selling by
e-mail is a good thing. Come on, it's time to use the internet to integrate
ourselves even more. Let's do business here. :-)
