I got it 3 days later, by luck ( another customer delayed acceptance of his ). I would have taken either A3000/25, so flexibility was one reason I got mine so fast I think. Of course, I chose an exceptional dealer. Buried Treasure in Rockville MD. Amiga-only, with nealry everything I ever heard of ( hard or soft ) on display in the store : BodegaBay, A3000UX, VideoToaster, Tower2000 ... As far as "cash-up-front", well avoid it if possible, but if not, try using a credit card. Then you're protected by a slew of Federal and State regulations. And if you have a card with a grace period, it doesn't cost you anything extra to pay 30 days later ! -- -- Dennis O'Connor, uunet!srg!titania!doconnor non-representative.
