For those people out in the "boondocks", mail-order may in fact be the only
way to purchase hardware, but why does that automatically mean going to a
discount mail-order house selling unwarranteed grey market machines?  How 
about calling one of these really great dealers we occasionally hear about.
Seems like a purchase could be arranged over the phone with them, even though
they don't have a catalog or an ad in AmigaWhirled every month.  Granted, the
price would be higher, but you'd be supporting a quality dealer, and would
have a place to a) send-it/take-it for warranty work, and b) call for technical
help.  Anybody try this?
