Lines: 21 I second your views about purchasing from a DEALER. ESPECIALLY when buying an expensive piece of equipment! You wouldn't want to trust your children to a mail-order baby-sitter.... Don't trust your Amy to a 'business-with-no-face'.... Granted, some mail-order places do good business, but they are VERY poor at representing the Amiga to the buying public. Those dealers that have had the courage to support the Amiga all these years, fighting on the front lines to inmform a very ignorant public that there are computers other than Mac's and IBM clones.... well, they need your support. And in return, they will support you. Some dealers don't have very good support, but they are in the minority. Most are quite comitted to their REAL customers (many mail-order purchasers stop by the delers to get FREE help.... WHAT NERVE!) and will do a lot of hand holding when needed. I owe a LOT to my dealer for the great support that I have received over the years..... SOmething to think about.... -Mike-
