What do want to see in AmigaKit.com?
« on: July 02, 2004, 06:27:08 PM »
AmigaKit.com has been going for almost a month now. It has generated lots of interest from the Community. Now we need to know what you would like to see in the shop?

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

Please give feedback on AmigaKit.com and make suggestions for improvement.

Many thanks.

Because your local PC shop doesn't have a clue about modern Amigas and cant advise on compatibility and how to get things working on the Amiga.

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.

We test kit on the Amiga before selling it so you can be assured that it works and you dont run the risk of buying incompatible hardware.

Thanks Wayne for your words of support and to everyone for the ideas expressed so far.

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.

However there is so much more from the general computing world that Amiga owners never try because they dont realise it works.  These products can be promoted through AmigaKit.com

Ive been in the same situation, it's very frustrating- the world needs educating.  PC retailers are sometimes arrogant with their responses to alternative computer owners, especially us Amigans!

I felt that Amiga retailers generally only stock the status quo but never are brave enough to stock modern spec kit.  That forces people to shop at PC stores and take a risk buying stuff that may not work satisfactorily with their Amiga.  Once products have been purchased, Amiga owners are marginalised with the service and support they get, because the PC retailer knows nothing about the Amiga platform.  It makes us Amigans seem like second rate consumers.

The ethos behind AmigaKit.com is to test interesting products on the Amiga and stock the ones that work well with the Amiga.  In addition products have Amiga specific installation guides, Amiga drivers or are prepared for Amiga use before despatch .... oh and we have good prices... this month we have an 80GB Amiga formatted hard disk for £49.99 + shipping

Well AmigaOne accessories do look like the next logical kit to have in the shop.  What are people finding hard to get for their A1?

Thermal paste and oscillators are definately an idea!

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

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

The type of keyboards that are worth doing are the excellent Logitech wireless and elite range, but they are premium priced...

You wish is my command...

Thermal paste makes an appearance in the store.  Thermal pads and heat sinks will materialise this week too.

Hope this helps!

Yes we are strictly Amiga-only.

This is because we are more technically specialised in Amiga-only kit and don't want that expertise "diluted" by other platforms.

I feel users get better customer service from specialists too.

Anyway atm we have our Summer Sale on and new batch of products have been added.
