The problem is getting the magazines to a place where the distro can happen, cheaply and efficintly.  The only solution I can think of is printing on that side of the atlantic somewhere.  However anything you save will be spent on eploying someone to do it, renting an office somewhere etc.  So the only other solution is to print them here in the states, and then send them by international post to wherever.  So the result is they will take forever to get there and some will get lost in shipment I suspect.  So if you are recieving in Europe you would be about a month behind the subscribers in the US.  If the market could support the printing and distribution of said magazines from someplace in europe, I suppose it would work.   But I am not sure that the printing/shipping cost in the US would be that much different than the Printing/Shipping cost in a european base.  From what I understand the problem with the european delivery and distribution is some sort of legal thing resulting from the increased power of the EU.  Some law apparently makes it impossible, or more expensive to operate in europe and thus sinks the capability of distribution in europe.  This is bad hear say, but it is apparently somthing like that.  A conundrum indeed.  However I think a lot of the problems have been fixed, but the last great challenge is decent distro in Europe.One thing that might help is not telling us when they shipped or what days to expect them...Aaron.</blockquote>
