Amstrads were relatively rare in the German home computer market, too, 
which was dominated by the C-64 between 1983 and 1987, when the Amigas 
and ST began to take over. 

Speaking from personal experience: I got interested in computers in 
1984, and ever since, have only seen one PCW in real life.
