>>Well the Amiga has been sold to Escom, a consumer electronics company in Germany that closely resembles Radio Shack.<< I've always had a love/hate relationship with Radio Shack. Living in the Los Angeles area, I can go maybe a mile in any direction and find a store. This is nice. Radio Shack seems to be well stocked, even with electronic gizmos that I'll never use. Still, seeing all those ICs and things on the shelf gets my creative juices flowing. But: I've not found many people at Radio Shack that can actually 'help me' when they ask if they can; That is, other than pressing the buttons on the cash regester. Stores like Radio Shack are good at sales, and not as good at follow-up support. Is the type of service that can be expected in the future for Amiga products? It is, of course much too early for any meaningful speculation on my part. Stephen Paschke (Remember: Attire is what's worn by a wheel)
