Who was this vendor of Amiga hardware?
« on: December 20, 2003, 08:01:31 PM »
I ordered an ElBox WinnerTower from this US Amiga reseller that was called something like CompuPlus or something back in 2000 - it was basically one guy running the place.  He sounded perhaps Indian in origin.  Great service - anyone recall who this might have been?

Thanks.

I have been told by quite a few people Compuquick is out of the Amiga market. They were not at Amiwest and a few here have mentioned not getting any response to sales inquiry emails lately. If you find out anything let us know. i have bought from them in the past and had no problem either.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

It would be too bad if CompuQuick is out of the Amiga business. They
had great service. :(

I bought my Catweasel MKIII for my Pegasos from them back in August.

if they have left they should at least have the courage to send you en email or make a worldwide announcmenet that they have indeed left the amiga scene

Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Hi there,
         on http://www.amiga.org we are wondering if you are still
alive or have left the Amiga scene ?? People say you had very good
service and products and therefor it would be a kind of shame if
you disappeared. Can you please inform if you still do Amiga stuff
or if you decided to stop ?

And this is the 2nd mail I got :

Effy,
 
Thanks for the post.
Also Corcomm our website hosting company have messed up the clock and the first page. We/ they are not able to make any changes to the
first page of our website.
But as and when there is news we update the Gazette page.
We will update it today just to let people know that we continue to handle Amiga items.
 
Thanks and regards.
