Summary: A great deal if on the level

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

  On page 108 of the November/December AmigaWorld, there's an ad from a company
called Star Flite, selling an Amiga, monitor, 256K ram expansion, and external
disk drive for $1370. Has anybody out there bought one from them, or had any
experience with this company? That price is about $270 less than anything I've
seen elsewhere, so I'm interested. Full details:

   Star Flite Telemarketing
   P. O. Box 685			phone  1-800-423-7347
   Nitro, West Virginia  25143

There's also a lot of software listed at substantial savings -- try the
Commodore 68000 assembler for $76.25 (vs. $99.95). At least two other people
here are iterested also. If the company is reputable, I may be getting an
Amiga two months earlier than I counted on!

  On the next page is an ad for Dynamic CAD. Does anyone know about this? It's
listed in the AmigaWorld software buyer's guide at $500, which is a great deal
if it does everything the ad claims. The question is, does it? The ad also says
it's available now; the local Amiga dealer (several stores around here sell
Amigas, but this one has half the store devoted to Amiga with the clones and
other toys jammed into the other half) says not until November or so.

 A portable program is one that has the same bugs on many different computers.
