[ A free line is worth what you paid for it! ]
There are a couple of people here that are interested in doing A2000
upgrades through a mail-order outfit in Hendersonville, NC called
Mountain Software. They seem to have the best of the upgrade programs
we've seen (you end up paying $999.99 plus shipping for the 2000, and
you keep your 1000).
Mountain does business the same way Abel does (via price lists posted
on BBS's, etc). The question is ... has anyone out there in netland
done any business with them, and did you have any problems (i.e., are
they reputable)? I have seen their price lists on BBS's for a couple
of months, so I know they aren't a brand new outfit, but if anyone has
had any personal experience with them, I'd like to hear about it (VIA
EMAIL PLEASE!)
There is also a company in L.A. (really, Santa Monica) called Creative
Computers doing this kind of business, who also have an ad in the latest
AmigaWorld. Any input on them would also be appreciated.
No, I don't have any connection with either company, or I wouldn't be
asking! :-)
Thanks!

P.S. This distribution was restricted to North America. If it ends
up elsewhere, it's not my fault!

Creative Computers is real. it is a new store in Santa Monica. Last Friday
at a party I met one of the part time salesmen there. That's all I know
about it. It does exist. ANd it seems to advertise prices that are the lowest
advertised prices in the LA area.

I purchased an A500 and did my A1000 to A2000 upgrade through these
people. They have been wonderful people with whom to do business (i.e.
friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, prompt, etc). If they treat their
mail-order customers as well as their local customers (I live in
Santa Monica), they should be outstanding. Highly recommended!
