Here in SLC, Utah we are strange folk and love it.
I've know this guy since I discovered Amiga. He IS the Commodore Warrior who WILL never stop.
He made the local news...
KSL News (http://tv.ksl.com/index.php?nid=5&sid=62564)
His website...http://www.oldsoftware.com/ (http://www.oldsoftware.com/)
Like a rock. (a spherical, checkerboard rock)
A long time ago I suggested ebay to him and he said he wasn't into it. Why because people (like me I guess) still come to him with geek needs and he wants to be there. Service like this man provides for the few (and bizarre) like me is unheard of nowdays.
And on top of it he is a great guy.
A quote from the "Props to Commodore" history section of his website...
The main staying power of the Commodore and Amiga computers, however, is that they have become a part of the lifestyles of so many individuals. Many Commodore and Amiga user groups still meet regularly and publish monthly newsletters. People still enjoy their old games, educational programs, applications, and the creativity which these machines were so well suited for.

Now that's a niche!
Good on him. Wish we had a place like that around here. We used to, but it's hard to keep a business going when the store rentals are $4000-$8000 a month. Sure you could own your own store, but when you suddenly realise you can get $4000-$8000 a month and not have to work for it anymore, lot's of people retire!

He now has his business in a loft (and did have it in an A-Frame) for many, many years. I'm not sure if he owns the property (I think he may).
Anyhow I'm sure rental here in SLC, UT, USA (outside of downtown or a mall) is whole lot cheaper than in some large metopolitan area.
