Cash and Carry Amiga Shops
« on: February 12, 2003, 05:16:45 PM »
Hello
For overseas customers, buying PowerPC products from various companies are difficult. The customers have to wait for several months or years and hope that the distributor does not "Forget your order" or "went bankrupt!".

Even with giant companies (IBM), it is difficult to get PS/850 and RS/6000 (several months / years!)

If you go to PC Shops, you can test the product, pay for it and carry it home.

I got idea about Amiga Inc / Hyperion / Eyetech opening "Cash and Carry" shops on several regions.
Is this possible?
Thank you.

Hello
On several Asian countries, there are 2 types of PC shops:
1. Official "Intel Inside" PC shops with giant "Intel Inside" stickers on its windows / name plate.
2. Ordinary shops that also sell AMD based PC, AMD Motherboards and Cyrix / VIA CPU.

Intel had conducted massive advertisement campaign for its P4 CPU and its motherboard. The name, address and phone number of "Official Intel Inside" PC shops are mentioned on the advertisement.

Intel staff is busy scanning the shop for AMD / Cyrix products. If a PC shop sell any AMD / Cyrix product, the shop will be banned from the advertisement.

Because AmigaOne is an ATX board and use ordinary case, peripherals, and PCI cards, perhaps the ordinary PC shops can put giant "Get AmigaOne here" sticker on its windows and have stock of several AmigaOne motherboards, beside PC boards.
Is this idea possible?
