- Well this is the reason why I have been bitching about Atari..
-
- We no longer have any active shops selling Atari Computers and no
- software sales at all, and this is in ALL New Zealand..
-
- You are also unable to get you computer serviced as there is no one
- providing parts any more..
-
- There is one group of shops selling the Lynx game console,
- but that does not sell to well here, the Game Boy has it all over
- the Lynx here, sold in more shops and is Advertized on TV..
-
- I have also been told that Atari OZZ will no longer be selling
- the Atari computer range, only the Lynx.
-
- Note: There is still a lot of shops selling the Amigas and even
- the new A600, plus you can get all the latest software for the Amigas here.
-
- The level 2 of the Falcon will be some two times the price of good 386
- clone, and with monitor, so I can't see the Falcon selling here at all..
-
- PC clones are very cheap here, but the software is very dear, some 5 times the
- USA price...
-
- ..Any body wan't to lend me some the moneny so that I can get a PC Clone..:-)..
