Don't wave your flag yet.... This is Sears. Do you know who sells
Sears computers? Do you know who's gonna be representing the Amiga?
Stereo Salesmen.(& women) People who not only don't know what
multitasking is, they don't care, as long as they get their commission.
Customer support? Oh, that's how much my customer makes at work, so they
can pay for the machine, right? Whadda mean, if the customer needs help?
Just plug the game cartridge in and play, right?
(Sorry for the overdose of sarcasm, but most of that isn't sarcasm...
I've actually *heard* this kind of talk from Sears personnel about
the Commodore 64, and the Franklin machines....)
What does this mean - we, the Amiga users, have to get Sears, and any other
retailers, to seriously start plugging the local user-groups. *We* are gonna
have to be the local customer-support. This is when we can help make the
Amiga really fly, by assisting new owners "get the feel" of the machine.

It seems to me that this list should be included in the documentation with each machine sold. I find some of my best support is from other users, both at our local groups and here on the net. What say you commodore? Publish and florish...... >have to be the local customer-support.
