I know for sure that Commodore 64's and Amiga 500's were sold in AAFES stores on US Air Force bases.
Yup. And a lot in corner business computer stores. In the South Forks Shopping Plaza (IIRC) in Grand Forks, there was a little store across from the Radio Shack which displayed an Amiga 500, and I believe a 2000 later on. That was the only place I ever saw them, while the K-Mart in the same plaza had a Commodore 64 running its trademark demo disk, and a TI-99/4A with Peripheral Expansion Box and a slew of game cartridges on braided metal wires.
Hey, did you grab any of the spec sheets the BX/PX had on the Amiga? VERY professional looking advertisements. I think they also had ones for the C128, 64C and C-series peripherals. I had a bunch, and think they've been in storage so long that they'll be in horrid condition once I find them.
Reminds be, one of the guys that worked in the computer section had an Atari Portfolio. I think they sold STs also.
