Can anyone suggest good software and hardware outlets? How about BBS's with UUCP access? Users groups? Let me know ASAP... If you are into software development & technically oriented meetings, then ASDF (Amiga Software Developer's Forum) is the place to be. We meet 2nd Saturday of each month, about 11:00 AM, at the Providence Journal Cellular One site in Morrisville. For more detailed info, send mail to ASDF c/o Bruce Drake 111 Smokehouse Lane Cary NC 27513 There *was* a more nontechnically oriented group called "AURA" (Amiga Users of the Raleigh Area), but that has died. We at ASDF are working to come up with a replacement (tentatively dubbed "TRACE" for TRiangle Amiga Computer Enthusiasts), but plans for that are not finalized. Our main obstacle to that is finding a meeting place [anyone got any suggestions?]. BBS's et al I'm not sure about offhand, but I'm sure you can get that info from many of the people at ASDF. Good hardware and software outlets? .... err .... uhh .... eh ... well, that could be a problem :-| ... we're sort of short of anything that most people would consider 'good'. Several places selling software, hardly anybody selling hardware, unless you include places like Software City or B. Dalton's "Software Etc". These can sell you some basic things (like maybe an A500) but they're not comprehensive dealers last I checked.
