I can tell you why there arn't a lot of good Amiga dealers out there.  I
work for a very upscale dealer that carry IBM/Apple/HP/Sun/etc... and
Amiga.  We are owned by Inacomp (a very large west coast chain) and
Mitsubishi.  Guess what?  All the Amiga vendors and distributors are
set up to deal with C-64 Mom & Pop stores that could vanish from the
face of the earth tomorow.  Most just don't have the resources/desire or
profesionalism to deal with anything else.  Many vendors insist on COD
only terms (for Mitsubishi?, come on...), most of the distributors I have
dealt with have made all kinds of negative commets about their vendors and
competion as well as racial/ethnic slurs while dealing with me.  None,
reliable provide Evals of products.  Call the vendor they try to steal
your account from the distributor and the whole thing starts all over
again.
