Creative Computers, of Santa Monica, CA., is a mail order store like Abel, Mountain, etc. etc. (although CC advertises in the mags while the other two mentioned don't although others not mentioned do) and also a storefront retail shop in the above named city who does a booming business (I have never been in his store when it was NOT absolutely crowded except right after he opened in Aug '87), and he had the ONLY major-software-retailer booth on the floor of AmiExpo in LA, an extremely enviable position! (He also bought the back cover of the AmiExpo handout program for his ad). He's also, to the best of my knowledge, the ONLY retailer in all of So.Calif who deals ONLY in Amiga-related goods: no Mac, PC, 64/128, or any other brand of 'puters and software in the store. Nah, I'm not on his payroll, but he IS a mail order outfit and he WAS selling at a computer show. Harv Laser, Sysop, the People/Link AmigaZone.
