I live here in Luxembourg and I own a Master Compact which is lying
unused at my parent's home. BBC Model Bs and Master 128s have been used
in Luxembourg's schools in the Eighties. They have all been replaced by
PCs in the early 1990s. Beebs are known by almost everyone who has
visited a school during this time. But I am not aware of any active
community which still exists. Only very few people have bought BBCs for
home or business usage (usage was basically limited to schools).
