     Why this won't work?  The CBM dealership network, more so than for
other computers, is made up of a high proportion of independent dealerships
that can no way compete if mail order was given the green light by CBM.
     Also, it would be another show of bad faith by CBM to dealerships all
across the country.  After all, they've hung w/ the computer through the lean
years while the big chains ignored or dropped the Amiga (like our local
CBM computers did).  And now we're going to screw them again?
     This is not the way for CBM to gain legitimacy.  Legtitimizing mail order
Amiga's would be a sign of the truly desperate.

(CBM Computers is a midsized chain in IL.  CBM does not stand for commodore 
in my above example.)
