- Actually, Sears still sells Amigas, though only through their Catalog in most
- stores. SE stopped selling 500's when they heard it was being discontinued.
- They will shortly be carying 600's as soon as C= finalizes the commercial
- package (I know, a friend is a manager at SE, he attended a seminar where they
- were showing both the 600 and Commdore Palmtop which SE will soon be carying)
