- I agree that the Surfer pack is an excellent idea. The question is
- whether or not Escom UK will get off their butts and stock them. Judging
- by their current attitude towards them, I believe this to be unlikely.
- There is SOME good news in that the box-shifters have been given some
- incentive (the word they use is "SPIV" Sales <something> Incentive
- <something>) to sell Amigas and 1438S monitors -check out my posting in
- comp.sys.amiga.advocacy. They offer 25 quid for the team for every Amiga +
- monitor sold. Not a massive amount, but the first positive step from
- them.
-
- If you want to see a Surfer pack at your local Escom shop, don't enquire
- -DEMAND! Tell them that the nearest Amiga stockist is quite a distance
- away, and ask them to order some (don't listen to any crap about them
- "not having the power" to do it -all Escom stores are able to order any
- product from another source provided Escom Head Office has an account
- with them). As they managed to get the A1200s from Amiga Technologies, it
- follows that they ought to have an account. If we want Surfer packs to
- sell, we must make sure that Escom UK don't mess up.
