- I had the opportunity (heh!) to be in the Big Apple (New York City) back in
- February of this year, and took a trip over to their "store" in Penn
- Station. The only thing I can say about the place is that if you wanted to
- get a 'starter' Amiga system, this *may* be a place to consider ONLY if you
- are in that area to deal with them on a person-to-person basis.
-
- At the time I was interested in getting a GVP HD8 for my A500; they had none
- in stock, but said they'd backorder and ship to my home (in Arizona) when
- they got it in. I thought about it for about two clock cycles...said "No!"
- and walked out.
-
- I placed my order with Creative...a much nicer place to deal with, mail
- order (I have no decent dealers here in Tucson, with a population of 600k,
- and Phoenix (150km and three times the population) only had one, that didn't
- have anything in stock, either, so...
-
- Hope this helps...
