A few months ago I noted that most, if not all, of the shops in
Rochester, New Yorker that formerly handled ST's no longer did so.  You
might find this followup about the Atari dealer network amusing.

I moved to Madison, Wisconsin late last year and recently decided to
dust off my ST.  After asking in a number of computer shops, I was
referred to a grand total of ONE local dealer.  They are only open two
afternoons a week, and they operate out of one room rented in the back
of an appliance store. !!!!  (Note, Madison is a state capitol, with
about 30,000 college students, so it's not just a collection of cornfields.)
