Well, I'm getting kinda tired of waiting for the Amiga 500 to hit the local computer shop, and I'm reconsidering my purchase anyway. "Maybe I should go with the Amiga 1000?" I think to myself. MicroComputer Services is advertising them for pretty cheap... has anyone dealt with these guys? I absolutely *cannot* get through to them on their customer service line, and that makes me mighty nervous. Any comments, pro or con, about ordering a computer through the mail? The thing I'm most concerned about with the Amiga 500 is the Kickstart in ROM. Booting right up sounds ok, but then what happens when Kickstart 1.3 comes along? Any commentary? -mike schwager -- {ihnp4,convex,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!schwager schwager%uiuc@csnet-relay.arpa University of Illinois, Dept. of Computer Science
