Recently, I decided to go down to an outlet of a local computer store to check
out what, if anything, was new or interesting for the Amiga. This store
company was the one I had bought my Amiga from back in late December
1987/January 1988 (though not this particular store).

Lo and behold, they have gone Apple/Macintosh in a big way, software
everywhere, machines (the new MAc line) available, accessories, etc. What they
*did* have in the way of Amiga stuff was relegated to one corner, and there
was a nary an Amiga there (500/2000/3000). Now this store used to be big on
C64 stuff before switching to or adding Amiga. (the particular store is a
chain of three very widely dispersed in San Diego County, and the particular
store I was in didn't exist back in '87 because the mall it's in wasn't even
built till about '89).

Well enough rambling...time for the question I have in mind (this may start a
*big* flame war, so fire-resistent material is nearby).

What walk-in store (that's the key phrase 'walk-in') is, in your opinion, 
*THE BEST AMIGA STORE* IN THE U.S. of A. ???

Now again, the key is 'walk-in', a store you can actually go into and poke
around in. If they have a mail-order operation, I really don't care. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really think the 'lack of presence' of a store where you can actually see
and touch an Amiga is the key to many problems in C= image of availability to
many potential customers.

All, IMHO.   Thank you.
