The problem I have with Software, Etc. here in Raleigh, NC is the software
prices. They do have some non-games on the shelf and were willing to order
other things. Their prices seemed very close to list. I asked about ordering
Music-X and was told $289. The Go-Amigo price is $175 and I saw a mention of
Creative Systems having it for $150. I don't know what I am paying for by buying
from a local dealer if they have to order it anyway. I might be willing to  pay
an extra 10-20% if it meant I got to try out a program first. They do have a 500
setup but not enough software to be that can be demoed. They were also running
the all to common workbench hand "demo" when I was there. No one was paying any
attention to the machine. If what I saw was typical I don't see how they are ever
going to get enough business to continue carrying Amigas.
