- Obviously you know nothing about marketing/exposure. It is not the best
- place to sell computers no, as you get no technical support but it A) is
- cheaper then dealers and B) you get a hell of a lot more people walking
- through a department store then you do a computer dealer. Geez what do
- you have to say with everyone buying computers from the Price Club (ie:
- Aptiva's) at a price that a friend of mine who works at Radio Shack
- admits they cannot even TOUCH without losing money on a sale? I suppose
- that is being done because they are being "dumped" huh?

- Look who is talking.. keep your dirty laundry/grudges off the net!! You
- have a fascination with my BBS that you have to get over buddy and you
- think you are making yourself look smart? Maybe someone will take YOU
- seriously if you drop the holier-then-thou yet cynical attitude and would
- listen to your comments if you can stop attempting to put down other
- people in the process. Do you think anymore here actually cares about my
- BBS, why not go create your own newsgroup.. alt.fascination.guild to rid
- the rest of us from your petty bickering because you cannot get your
- points scross.

-
- What does this have to do with anything? My choice of computer is of no
- concern to you or the rest of this newsgroup as long as it is an Amiga.
- My choice to collect classic games is mute.. look at other people on the
- net looking for atari 2600 cartridges etc.. go put them down - at least
- it will get it out of this group and you out of my face! When the Power
- Amiga comes out, how would you feel if someone said "Come talk to me when
- you use your Amiga for more then AGA apps/games". Tell everyone Byron
- what you use your Amiga for.. other then blowing it up and losing it for
- months on end! Man, get a life, get it quickly, take your ridiline and stop
- replying to my posts if all you can do is insult to get your points across.

- P.S. You see Byron doesn't have the patience to do and/or read anything..
- I expect a sooky "Bite me!" soon and that would be it for another while
- when he again finds someone on the net whom he knows and can bite into a
- little bit to make his arguements seem more favourable over the other
- persons.
