I'm sorry, but you're definitely wrong.  Perhaps Computerland _as_a_chain_
has never officially carried the Amiga, but individual Computerland stores
certainly have (does anyone know if the stores are centrally owned, or
franchised, or a combination, or what?).  I was looking at the Amiga
in the Lafayette (CA) Computerland one day while waiting to pick up one of
our PC's they were repairing, back before I had my own, and chuckling 
because I knew I was going to get mine for a significantly lower price
from another source (Winner's Circle, in Berkeley).
