Hello my name is Paul H Finch, I have started up a Portfolio club in 
the UK. (see below) Please can I join your group, be added to your 
mailing list and/or ask you to pass the word around your contacts. 
I am trying to make contact with Toad computers in USA and Computer 
Direct in Canada, so I might sell there range of Portfolio items in the 
UK. Also I will be writing to sedlak in Czech Republic and stefan in 
Germany. Do you know of any other person/company that deal in Portfolio
hardware or software.
If you require any further inform then please do contact me, NOTE:- 
that my E-mail address is where I work, so sometimes there will be a 
delay before I answer you. (as work comes first with my manager).
Anyway I look forward to hear from you at sometime and if I can help 
anyone please give them my name, address, telephone and/or E-mail me.
We must keep the Atari Portfolio computer ALIVE!.  

HISTORY            
         For approx three years there was a very well run club called 
`Portfolio Connection' in the U.K. Then at the end of 1994, Mr & Mrs 
P Bennett who ran this club moved to the U.S.A and this club closed. 
With the loss of approx 1000 P.D disks! This is where I come in, by 
trying to resurrect this club. Todate I have most of the P.D disks 
and also a data base of members, I wish I could run it like the old 
Portfolio Connection but I already run a swimming club and work 6 days 
a week so I would not have enough time by myself. So my club is mainly 
a message base at the moment, but I am willing to help anyone else get 
the old club up and running again or stay just being a message base, 
to put people in touch with each other. 
         
          I am on the look out for buying and selling any new/second
-hand hardware and software, Computers, Memory Cards, PC Card Drive, 
P.D disks or newsletters/info related to the Portfolio. Please let me
know what you have for sale/exchange and its price.
