For the past month or so I have dropped by a couple of Amiga dealers in my area. I have been very disappointed with their "demos". So, I have decided to bring a small set of PD software with me to each of the places that I visited and a) teach the dealer how to use them, and b) give them to the dealer. I will bring along a complete listing of the Fish disks, my phone number, and a number/address of the nearest users group. (I mean really, one of the dealers I went to had 2 things to show on his 3000: Dpaint and the animation given by C=). I want to develop a small set of high quality demos. Question: What programs are *necessary* to this set? One of my picks is Fish 196 with the stunning HAM pictures. I also like the game Drip and the on-line fish list Aquarium. (If you could only show 1-3 animations, which ones would they be?) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The walker demo, the Dream goes berserk, and Newtek Demo reel 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the strong points of the Amiga is its user base. Lets get the word out. Thanks, -Rich -- // Rich | "If there is nothing wrong with me, then maybe there is \X/ Andrews | something wrong with the universe." - B. Crusher STTNG ---------------------------------------------------------------- Great idea rich, but, the only real problem I have with this that that users will have to constantly check on the dealers to make sure that they are properly presenting the Amiga, I too have gone to a dealer where their amigas just sat idle why the salespeople know nothing about the machine Unfortunantly it is rampant everywhere. This isn't to say that there are not really good dealers out there, it is just that there are more bad ones than anything else. Also unfortuanantly, this not the users problem to correct (although we could, it would take a nationwide effort to do (which I would gladly join in order to get the Amiga recognized)), I think this is all C='s responsibility to discover and correct. Although I think a lot of dealer's need a quick kick in the pants by the users..... C=, YOU NEED TO FIX YOU DEALERS, AND QUICKLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
