Re: What I miss about Amiga shops.......

I guess I have a different point of view because I worked in an Amiga/PC shop for years and years.
 
And that point of view was AWESOME!!!:afro:
 
Most Amiga customers were the coolest.  There is always going to be that guy who orders a PAR card ($1000) and then decide he doesn't want it :madashell:, but by and large, it was the others who would come in and try the latest game, talk tech., explain their latest prog. and/or music project or play in a turny that made it so much fun.  Those guys I still talk to every now and then...
 
It wasn't as much as a shop as it was a gathering place that happened to also make money.;)
 
On the Mac thing, in our last location, the mini-mall's owner also owned a Mac shop elswhere and specificly put it into the contract that we couldn't sell anything Mac...:lol:
