Note that a large number of people do not have the option of GoTo Dealer,
simply because there isn't a whole helluva lot of Amiga dealers out there. In
general, unless you live in a moderately sized urban area (population >
100,000), you have no choice but mail order. For example, there's only three
cities here in the state of Louisiana that could be considered "moderately
sized", the biggest of which is New Orleans with 500,000 people.

There ARE a few Amiga dealers in smaller cities, of course, but not in most of
them.
