magazine in Germany and the Netherlands. In 1978 ETI entered the North American market with a Canadian edition. In the Netherlands a Dutch version was published as "electronica top internationaal" by "Radio Rotor", a mail order company for electronic hobby equipment located in Den Dolder (the Netherlands) and Brussels (Belgium), later they moved shop to Amsterdam where they are still operational. In 1980, Collyn Rivers added an Indonesian language edition. There was also, for a time, a pirated Indian edition that Collyn Rivers decided 'not to know about' on the basis that it was needed but non-affordable by its young readers. Initially, most editorial material, including the constructional projects were sourced from Australia, but it was soon realised that, apart from spending time in Australia, this did not offer enough opportunity for its overseas staff. Whilst the major constructional projects continued to be produced in Sydney, the overseas editions were encouraged to be free to interchange material, but to be otherwise editorially independent. This proved highly successful. The ETI network offered valuable travel opportunities for its young staff. Steve Braidwood, who worked on the UK edition as a student in 1973 and joined as assistant editor in 1974, went to Sydney in 1976-77 as acting editor and then to Canada in 1977–1979 as editor and publisher. He was succeeded as editor in Canada by Graham Wideman (see ). Unusually for a publishing operation, Collyn Rivers preferred to hire people who had expertise in specific fields other than journalism. This provided greater subsequent employment opportunities: ETI Australia's assistant editor Jane Mckenzie, for example, subsequently became editor of Choice; Barry Wilkinson's successor, Alan Waite, ended up owning one of Australia's largest security equipment companies. Another later gained a physics Ph.D. In 1976, the Australian edition was named by Union Radio Presse Internationale as 'The Best Electronics Magazine in the World'. It is still the only Australian developed magazine to have had successful overseas editions. The Australian group also produced a number of associated magazines including Sonics, Comdec Business Technology, Australia CB, Business Computing, Your Computer and many others some of which had overseas edition counterparts. In November 1978 the British edition of ETI published an article describing the schematics and other technical details (including PCB) of an Intel 8080 based single board computer called the Transam Triton, which could also be bought as a kit, including a specially designed metal enclosure with
