Dave, I need to ask you this–where were the sales people? If you come into my store and want to see the A4000–I demo it. I have demo's loaded and a regular presentation that is designed to knock-the-socks off of anyone who dare enter! My favorite people to demo too are the people who have dealt with PCs on a regular basis, and I like it even better when they understand something about the PC. After I demo the system, I then let you 'play' with it until you are tired of it without me hovering. However, once you leave the system I work to close the sale. The transfer of excitement is the key to selling an Amiga. I fault your dealership for not taking an active role in the sale. On the other hand, I constantly battle the demo machine because customers think it is fun to re-arrange, delete and destroy Workbench settings. Perhaps that A4000 had been hosed by a prior Amiga wannabe? One can never tell. Your friend needs to be educated about how video and the Amiga works. After the education I usually give, they are *happy* that the 800×600 mode flickers. It is all in how it is done. 😉 -mark=
