My view on the free amiga thing..
He promised you free Amiga computers, didnt give them to you or whatever his excuse was. No money was lost. Was there intentional dishonesty? dunno. You didnt lose out on any money, maybe just got your feelings hurt. No sense creating a thread about not getting something for free because you didnt lose anything. Move on.
about the retrogeek thing.. live and learn..you should have paid attention to the many warnings on AO.
