Title: Amiga in the high street
Post by: Boot_WB on February 01, 2006, 09:20:26 PM

Ahhh! :-)

I was just walking through the town centre in Hull when I had to do a double-take.  
Sitting in the window display of Gamezone was a nice, shrink-wrapped A600 with a £49.99 sticker on it (mouse included).
Thought I had been spending too long on ebay, and was starting to see amigas everywhere. :-)

Quick, buy it NOW!!!

Reminds me of during the late '80s, when the Co-Op's Brighton (UK) store's electrical department still had an unsold and boxed ZX81 for sale for £45!

I was moved, when I was strolling and suddenly saw an A500 in the shop window! This is a used/retro computers shop (http://www.elx.gr/), but it has been such a long time since I've seen an Amiga for last time in a shop front...
