   In Cedar Rapids, Iowa people who buy Amiga 500's can get them from Montgomery
Wards, Software Etc and others.  But for A2000, A3000 systems people usually
Contact the Des Moines store.  A local company "Pratt Video" used to sell
Amiga's but they were not a very good place to deal with.( They definitely
gave Commodore a bad name. I don't know if they still sell any Amiga systems.)
  Most people in Cedar Rapids purchase Amiga's
because of the large computer show the Commodore Club puts on every year.  We
try to make sure everyone knows we exist.  In fact, recently a guy I work
with was planning on purchasing a MAC system, and Video editing equipment.  
After another club member showed him is Amiga and Video setup, he is now
planning to purchase an Amiga 3000.  User group support is what makes the
Amiga great!  User groups may actually help sell more Amiga's than most
Store salespersons.  A couple of the club members represent the Des Moines
store, which helps alot.  Plus the Des Moines Store always brings a Truckload
of goodies (It sure seem that way! :-) ) to our Computer Show.  Also thanks
to the Des Moines store for the many demos they arrange for us!
