(Re: _Tottenham_ Court Road)
Indeed I do. I also remember when I used to go there to buy
"government surplus" radio and electronics kit: leftovers from
World War II, long before personal computers even existed. And it
was there that I was first "importuned". "Can I chat with you
dearie?"
And there was Lisle Street, off Charing Cross Road, with similar
"facilities" - electronics shops I mean of course. There was a
Goon Show about the "All Leather-bound Airship" built in Lisle St.
It wouldn't take off, and they said "If you can't get off in Lisle
St. you won't get off anywhere."
And to return to topic <g>, Amiga shops are very hard to find
anywhere, which is one reason I'm glad to see the ads in AA and the
presence of Eyetech in this ML.

Money can't buy happiness but it can rent it for a couple of hours.
