.
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?
