Well, now that we have the web, stores don't need an actual location or even maintain a lot of stock (they can just serve as go-betweens). Also because of the web a small store can get their business from customers worldwide. All of this wasn't the case even 10 years ago when all the bricks and mortar Amiga dealers were closing.

Well I'm really happy to hear that, Amigakit. I should have qualified my original response as I believe I had seen some photos you posted of your service area a few years ago.

Is there any reason for you to remain in a high tax area since most of your business is mail order?

I wonder if Vesalia operates the same way.
