I thought of this too late for the MidWest AmiExpo,
but I think it would be a riot at the LA one. Here it is...
You get a group of folks together to pick on a local PC
computer store (anything without Amigas). One Scenario is:
You walk into the store and start mindlessly
wandering through their (PC ack, gawk) software.
One of your friends come in (acts like you are
strangers) and starts looking helpless, when
the salesperson comes over your friend asks
for "(amiga specific stuff)", when the
salesperson says whatever he/she says ("ain't
no such computer for under $xxxx") you look up
from reading a manual and casually say: "oh, you
want an Amiga." Your friend says thanks and leaves.
Store owner is dumbfounded (we hope).
This can be modified in several different ways, you could
continue along this line with 5 or so more friends comming in
and asking for "(more amiga specific stuff)" and everytime
you respond with "oh, you want an Amiga." Or, you could go
for the brute force tactic, simply have one person every 5
minutes walk into the target store and ask if they carry
Amiga computers. About two hours of this would drive the store
owner crazy.
I don't know what is going on at the LA one, but at the Chicago
one they were giving away hats for inane reasons, I figure that
after such abusive treatment the store owners ought to be treated
to some hats.
If someone does this, let me know how it goes.
