GREG AND JOE BITS:

See below for the final details on the Open House this weekend.
Joe and I attended the MultiMedia'97 show in Toronto last month. Wow, seemslike everyone has a non-linear editor and software out for it on the PC.. And the thing is, they ALL look the same. It was a very very boring show.. there were lots of free magazines and pretty girls though :)
We will be offering subscriptions for European Amiga magazines.. Namely AmigaFormat, CU Amiga, and Amiga Computing. You basically fax us your credit card information and we then put you on a list to receive the magazine each month. Prices do vary each month because of the exchange rates from the UK. Look for the form on the web-site soon!
We appologize for the delays on the Insert104's recently. We have been hounding the manufacturer daily to get production going.
New 1200's are available again! Pricing will follow shortly.
Our online ordering has been significantly updated here. All orders are now tracked internally here with the same database so that way you know (and we know) what's going on with your order. www.nationalamiga.com/ordering.html This is for all orders from June 1st on.
Quite possibly we will have PowerPC cards to show off at the openhouse!
VillageTronic still hasn't been able to ship 3.1 Kits for any machine :( We have close to 40 units on back order now.. I hope they get to ship sometime soon now that Gateway has the lot.
Quite a load of used-software has built up since the last list. We'll see what's left after the openhouse and put the lot on a mailout then.
NewTek has decided in their infinite wisdom to sell Flyers ONLY with hard-drives.. Which kinda sucks for us who aren't in the US since if there is ever a problem with the drive we have to send it back to NewTek and wait for them to turn it around.. I'd much rather buy it from a local distributor who can turn it around in 2 days as opposed to 2 weeks.
Since distribution for Amiga products in North America has gone into the crapper, we are looking to start buying products directly from developers. If you are a developer and are having a hard time getting your products into North America, please contact me directly at, gscott@nationalamiga.com
Hey, we've gone PGP. To get our keys, finger our accounts directly, or just ask for them in email.. Only one who doesn't use PGP is Joe.. because well, he likes some mail program that doesn't support it :) gscott@nationalamiga.com, larrys@nationalamiga, and jason@nationalamiga.com

INSERT 104 Keyboard Adapter

Use a Windoze 95 104 key keyboard on your Amiga!

Q: Why would you want to do that?
A: Because either your current Amiga 2/3/4000 keyboard is broken, you currently have no keyboard, or you just want a better keyboard.

For only $39CAD you can insert one of these handy adapters inbetween your Amiga and your PC 104-key keyboard and that's it! You are connected!

Extra keys have been mapped to AmigaOS specific functions. (A4000 version is $44.95, A1200 version coming soon!)

Insert 104 for A2000/3000.....................................$39    $28
Insert 104 for A4000 (comes with PS/2 - AT adapter)...........$45    $32
Bundled with a 104 key keyboard 2000/3000.....................$55    $39
Bundled with a 104 key keyboard for A4000.....................$60    $43

Dealer and distributor enquiries welcome!

WE WANT YOUR AMIGA 2000S!
If you have one, or one hundred for sale, we want them!

Please quote motherboard revision, Kickstart, Agnus, Denise.
No extra cards or monitors needed, but will be considered.
North America Only
