Software Etc.
5 messages in this thread
I just saw a Software ETC. (in the rear of some B. Dalton Book stores) has
picked up the Amiga for sales. They are selling Amiga 500s and Software. I
didn't get any pricing on the 500 but at least it is back in the public eye. I
remember them selling software for the machine about a year ago before they
dropped it.
This started several weeks ago because of a contract CBM got with them. Only
problem, at least at one store I go into, while there is some enthusasim there
is little knowledge and poor setup – The people don't know what to do with the
equipment, don't have things like the 512k expanders or even joysticks for the
games.

Regarding your comment that they might not have the necessary experience for
selling Amiga products, its been my experience that several properly timed bits
of assistance to the right salepeople can often result in price breaks on
software and/or hardware.
That can be true. While they're not selling anything I need, I am pleased to
have a retailer for Amiga where this store is, and I figure that if I help them
out from time to time it will in some small way eventually help me, if only
because there are more Amiga's out there, and maybe because they want to return
a favor.

Yeah! I was told "Overwelming support for amigas forced us to change our
mind!"" HOORAY!!!
