I bought my first Amiga (A1000) from StarFlite Telemarketing back in '86 and my 2500/030 this year from Go Amigo!, taking advantage of their A1000 buyback plan. I refuse to do business with our "local" dealer (about 45 minutes away) whose prime motivation appears to be greed (list prices on almost everything, last time I checked). Had I not had the opportunity to buy mail-order, I would have grudgingly switched over to the Macintosh. Mark -- ################################################################# # Mark R.
