I worked at one of those lil' shops that sold Amigas and it was a fun, relaxed place to be!  We had connections with the local Users Group and would host some of their meetings.  We had cook outs on the nice days, Tourneys on the bad ones.  It was just fun!

Heh, I remember losing a few games of mine to another member.  I let him borrow them and he moved or something.  It was no big deal because we were all friends in one shape or form.  That’s how things rolled back then…

I sometimes I think it is those memories above all else that keeps me nailed to the Amiga.

It was also sad when the store changed owners and the new guy was only in it for the money.  That is when things went downhill and it was run more like a "big-box store" as someone else called it.

Congrats on using your enter key once in that mess, but it wasn't enough to make it readable.


Okay, really?  You keep harassing others when they write harsh, disparaging and/or off-topic replies and you throw this out?

I'm sure you have something to contriblute, so lets hear it!:afro:
