I approve of pushing dealers to push the Amiga.  Once I was in a local
dealer (since gone belly up) and an older couple strolled in and asked to
be shown a computer good for wordprocessing, that is cheap and easy to use.
The salescreature (who I know loves his Amiga) said, "Sure.  Right this way."
And showed them a Commodore Colt with some braindamaged free wordprocessor
it comes with.

After they left, I suggested to him that ProWrite (or something) on a
500 would have been just as good, if not a better choice for them.  "Gee!
You're right!  I never thought of that..."

This dealer had trouble pushing 20 machines out per year in a town of
250,000.  No wonder.  I've sold three just on my street, in a town of
5,000.  Maybe I should be the dealer?
