- Well. I for one am sorry you were disappointed, but I should have warned
- you that the EuroChart is not a demo at all. Rather it is just a listing of
- the top demos/groups/etc. in Europe. There is no great entertainment, as in
- a real demo...
-
- However, I'd like to make *our* chart much more entertaining. We have the
- skills to do so I think.

- No, but there is also a collection of really cool bootblox.
-
- If there WERE a big non-euro scene, people would take more interest in both
- that scene and the euro-scene.
