There was a Leiser store in Westboro, Mass that pushed the Amiga 500.  They
had a good amount of software for sale, and they had machines up and running.
Unfortunately, the slow economy and massive competition put them out of
business.  The Framingham Mass area has way too many appliance stores
competing for a stale market.
