[comp.sys.amiga] Wanted: Amiga info

mdk@hpindda.HP.COM (Marty King) (12/30/88)

I'm looking for information on the Amiga family of PC's.  I have a 
brother who is interested in buying one ever since he saw the flight
simulator like game (he's a pilot :-).  However, his knowledge of 
computers is nil and he doesn't want to just buy a $600+ video game.

I've called about 20 computer dealers in this area (S.F. Bay Area) and
NOT 1 of them carried the Amiga line!  I did stumble into an electronics
store that had 1 of the 500 systems, but they had no literature on the
system that I could take home and review.

So what I'm looking for is any or all of the following:

- A reputable dealer in the S.F. Bay Area that carries that Amiga line
  that will either answer all my questions, or will have literature I
  can take home and look over.
- The name of a magizine (e.g. Byte) that carried a writeup on the Amiga's
  and what issue the writeup was in.
- The name of a book or trade rag that is dedicate to the Amiga family
  that also gives info on the various machines in the family to allow one
  to make an intelligent buying decision.

Any and all information will be extremely appreciated!  Please email me
any responses/pointers as I don't read this notes string on a regular
basis.

Thanks,
