- People seem to be polarized over where the Amiga should be sold.
- Actually, IMO, there can be several types of dealers.
-
- 1. Mail Order Lowest prices, minimal services
-
- 2. Electronics "Superstores" and major department stores (not rock-bottom
- types) low to moderate prices, moderate services
-
- 3.Specialty Computer Dealers Somewhat higher prices, extensive services
- and advice
-
- The other platforms seem to work with this arrangement, but then again,
- their makers generally exert some efforts to build business. Others
- involved in this thread have also mentioned other interesting ideas.
-
- In the meantime, there still is no mention of the Amiga in mainstream
- publications, general computer magazines, or even "Computer Shopper",
- which used to carry Amiga columns. Heaven forbid placing information
- before the eyes of those planning to spend $$$.

- You have to prime the pump before you can draw water.
- You have to invest in seeds, water, etc before you can harvest crops.
-
- The main point is " PLEASE AT, DO SOMETHING "!
- It is time to inform the American public of your existence!
