I think we like our Amiga.org a bit weathered. I also think Jim will be back. He's left before, after all. High prices or no, he's a reputable seller. Unfortunately for Jim, I'm a capitalist consumer, and AmigaKit often had better prices, exchange rate and shipping included. :-(
And because I feel like answering unasked questions, I also want to note that as an American, I take no offense at being called a communist. It isn't 1965, and people are free to call me whatever they want. (But why do so many so-called right-wingers behave like fascists? The spectrum needs a facelift.) I dont' want anyone to get the idea that all Americans are members of right-wing militias itching to shoot at anything red and moving (no pun intended). Most of us are pretty open minded and able to carry out an objective discussion without feeling disgruntled. (Note, that last statement doesn't include noteable talking heads: Nancy Grace, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, et al. They're all nutters--on their shows, at least, and that's how everyone perceives them.)
