    This is absolutely ridiculous.  5000 machines is a drop in the
bucket.  If SMG is not willing to put the money up for them, then it is time
for a new North American Distributor.  They are not doing their job.
    Every day that goes by without new Amigas means less of a market
for them.  MINIMAL BUSINESS should be to buy the machines, distribute them,
advertise, and DISCOUNT them.
    If Amiga Technologies wants to keep the current North American
Amiga market, then they have to make the machines, and hire someone to distribute
them.  Both Amiga Tech., and SMG are killing the N.A. market.  Despite them,
I will thrive with my Amiga, and feed off of the European market if it comes
to that.
