>>Well CEI had a press release last month stating they had reached an agreement with AT to distribute Amiga's in N. & S. America.<< That's been discussed here a lot. Since then, AT has denied the prices CEI set, and Petro Tyschtschenko said at their press conference a couple of days ago that they were still looking for a U.S. distributor/partner. I guess we can never believe what CEI says until it's confirmed by other sources! Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility

Ray, <Well CEI had a press release last month stating they had reached an agreement with AT to distribute Amiga's in N. & S. America.> Yes they did, didn't they. Unfortunately they had not signed an agreement at that time, and to the best of my information still haven't. Alex is getting a really bad repuation, and obviously Escom/AT didn't appreciate his (Alex's) pre-release press release with that high price quoted ($3500 for a basically bare A4000T). Personally I'd prefer Escom/AT have someone with some real business sense as their NA/SA distributor, and it seems that Escom/AT agrees with me (and many others). Asha @}–`–,-
