I would guess that most business I assume you mean the dealers should be "educated" users, who could point out the benefits of a 2000 to a business person. I haven't found an AMIGA dealer with nearly enough expertise to convince your average business person that the AMIGA will fulfill his/her needs better than a MAC or IBM product. Before the flames come -- I am NOT saying these machines are better than the AMIGA. (I love my AMY) I AM saying the dealers of these "other" machines have the knowlege to SELL them better. The business person doesn't care how neat F-18 is -- he/she wants to use the computer to help make money. If the dealer has no knowlege of programming tools, graphics tools, publishing tools etc, the sales person will not be able to sell the AMIGA to the business person. For example: The only thing the BEST dealer in my area knows about "C" compilers is "Gee -- lots of people buy this one.(heyuk heeyuk)" ^^^^^^^^^^^^ editorial comment! ;-) Dave S.
