[comp.sys.amiga] General Computer Store bails out

danny@masscomp.UUCP (Dan Pearl) (11/08/88)

General Computer Store of Framingham, Mass. has decided to get out
of the Commodore business 8-( .  Not that they were any great store,
or anything, but they were the closest source for Amiga stuff.

Their reason is that "Commodore is starting to sell Amigas in
department stores".

Any comments?  Is this a Good Thing for the Amiga or a Bad Thing?

I think it's a good thing, and I think your computer store is just making
an excuse. After all, the Atari ST and IBM-clones are already available in
department stores. What does that leave, Apple?

Actually some Apple's are sold by Macy's (or is it Emporium -- I always
get 'em confused.) here in Northern Ca. for some time.

Didn't notice Macs though.
