Well, the Video Concepts salesman I talked to here in Indy seemed quite willing
to sell me an A500.  They had the Consumer Guide computer issue opened to the
page rating the A500 as the best computer under $1000.  He seemed to think the
Amiga was by far the best machine for video, but said they didn't sell too many
because people didn't usually come into a video store to buy a computer.  They
also don't carry any Amiga software.  I thought it was a hoot that TANDY's
video store was forced to carry Amigas.
