- (just one of the many post on the new purchase / my story)
-
- Well over a year ago there i was in my local amiga/ibm store [now
- only selling software due to the recession and loosing all their U. Comp
- Maj.to graduation ], looking for something to buy -
- Looked at a magasine: "Commodore Declares Banckrupsy" i quickly snatched
- if off the shelf and read the article, and thought "Oh Great..." 'couple
- of months later the was another mag. "Escom may buy up C=" The first
- thing that came to mind was "WHO is Escom?"
- Off to guelph i went with a wondering of "is my computer
- alive/dead" and getting wonderfull internet access for the 1st time and
- learning my computer wasn't burried yet [a screem of joy was heard for a
- block]
- Then Wonder Computers went bankrupt, one of the last good chances
- to get a new amiga [and accesories] in my region without the mail order
- hassles [yes i'm spoiled where i live we had 2 authourized
- dealer/repairers untill the recession].
- Next Wonder is back, not quite full strength but i decided i could wait.
- Now Amiga is sold again to a North American company, "hey i might
- see a new amiga afterall" is what i'm thinking
-
- I guess the point of my story is be alittle patient: Hey A1200
- and A4000 just got over to canada *twice* and kupowi. I've not even seen a
- new amiga in years (except for magazine pics.) and am content to wait.
- Ya it's a litlle differt for you euro dudes u got to buy some, but u
- also got teased w a few 'Escom' Amigas in the process.
-
- Hoping to see a 'Viscorp/Amiga Technologies' Amiga
- but 'till then i basically wait. mabey a cheap upgrade to hold me.
-
- Be Seeing you all in September
- Jeff.
