(I'm going to keep this message short, for a change – K)
Your background in this industry does sound very interesting. And it
pretty much seems that we are in agreement on the aspectics that control
this market. I too, agree that the success of larger dealers in the Amiga
market would do alot for our machine. But I also think that if the larger
chains ever did succeed with Amiga sales, it would not necessarily hurt the
smaller dealers. We can usually compete because our overhead is usually
lower and our one-to-one relationship that we have with our customers is a
big factor on where that customer shops. Sure, the larger chains could
work better with the larger accounts, but they will never get as
specialized as us small guys.
I do think that the MO housea and their Low, Low (probably gray market)
Hardware prices hurt us small guys. But those MO places that play the game
fair and just make very little on each product, but make up for it in
volume – are ok with me. I can compete with those guys, it's the ones that
don't play fair that I have trouble with.
