All the hardware can be used on the Amiga!

Sure, but I can get this stuff at my local PC shop.. Why order it from you (except supporting an Amiga Shop)..

Some Amiga only hardware would be nice, perhaps AmigaOne and Pegasos mobo's and things likethat..


Don't get me wrong, you're doing something nice for the Amiga community.. You just need to get some non mainstream stuff in it..

How many times have you walked into a PC shop being unable to get service from the staff because no one knows anything about the Amiga- you probably wont even ask for help for fear of being looked at strangely.

Erm.. Never.. Don't need the expertise of a so called expert salesman... I ubderstand the point, but luckily it doesn't aply to me.

Please consider what do you expect from an online Amiga store and what do you wish we stocked?

But why ask if you don't want any input ? Your reaction seems like you're a bit offended by odin's suggestion.

A dealer CANNOT support the antique Amiga doorstop and hope to survive.

Indeed, but if the dealers sells things I can get at my local dealer why buy it from him ? He's probably a little more expensive because he buys in low volumes.

Note that I always did buy stuff from Amiga Shops when my A4000 was still alive like memory and harddrives just to support them. However I can fully understand why a consumer would rather go to his local store and save at least on P&P.

Kudos to them for at least TRYING to support a defeatist market.

Yes, he does provide a nice service, but I think he would hve more luck if he could things like PCI busboards and more choice in the selection he is allready offering.. Perhaps he can try to contact Red and talk about some kind of deal.

I think that future Amiga support is essential and this means PCI / AGP gfx cards, SDRAM, big HDDs. However all these items such come with Amiga instructions, specific Amiga support and Amiga compatibility guarantees.

Yes, that's the way, and I hope you can make it in this market and hopefully someday if/when the market has grown you're a big shop..

Are you also going to support the Pegasos market ?

How does the community feel about PS2 keyboards with the Windows keycaps replaced with "A"? Could be good for the AmigaOne owners.

Go for it.. (I believe it's expensive tho, ask computer City for some info, they allready do/did that, maye you can work together?)

yes, but is there a real market for it? Or are people just happy to use M$ Windows keyboards with their Amigas?

Depends.. Maybe ask for a poll here..

IIRC Computer City used Cherrie keyboards..

Amiga Software Development Kits and application dev software, which is the first thing I thought of when I saw the URL.

Hmm.. Interesting idea.. Maybe an hardware bundle as well, tho that should perhaps wait...

How about software bundles/kits such as game kits, application kits, media kits, etc.

What would be the real difference then ? Are you thinking in normal programming languages or stuff like SEUCK ? Or did I misunderstand you completely now..
