Lines: 30 Excuse me if this is a duplicate, but I do not think my last post made it past the mad guardian of the net. I have heard from a dealer friend of mine that some major computer dealer in CA. signed an exclusive agreement with the show folks. In a nutshell, this company is the only one allowed to sell hardware and software at AmiExpo. According to my friend, when he went to register for a booth he was told that unless he was the developer of the item, he could not sell anything. Also, I have heard that even the local Chicago dealers are not permitted to sell equipment and are trying to get Commodore to pull the license from the CA. company for crossing sales boundries. Does anyone know if this is true. My dealer friend says this is what he was told by the show coordinators upon an attempted registration. If this is true, this sounds like a shi**y way to run a show. I was planning on attending the show with a pocket full of cash but if I do not hear different I will not be attending. Flame off Johnny.
