Ah yes!  Wonder computers!  I remember now, I ordered a HD floppy from them!
I know there was also National Amiga in Southern Ontario and I DID visit one store that was still selling Amigas after Commodore went bankrupt somewhere in the west end of Toronto (near the westernmost subway station on the east-west line).

How soon we forget :) There were a fair number of dealers over the years in Ontario, including National Amiga/Archtech, Comspec, Wonder Computers, "Computer & You" in Etobicoke, and various other places, all of them from which you could get A1200's or A4000's.  There were also dedicated console stores that sold the CD32, including the record store Sam's in Toronto, and other ones (there was one in Guelph, for example).   You could also go to the website http://www.amigasupport.com and http://www.amiga.on.ca that had all the new Amiga Technologies products and a dealer list, and prices.  Oh, and there was Randomize computers as well...and others too...

Sure, not as many back in the day when you could walk into K-Mart and buy an A500 :) But you could still get the A1200 and a4000, and there was even a World of Commodore show in December 1993 in Toronto - one of the last official C= shows (and certainly the last in Canada) before they went bust in April of 1994.  At that show they were showcasing the CD32 with the new Full Motion Video module and I believe the A4000/030, which came out after the original A4000/040.
