Most people know my position on GO-AMIGO.  I wouldn't buy ANYTHING from them.
I've heard too many horror stories, and had that awful experience of having
to wait SIX MONTHS for them to deliver the prizes they donated to the 
Badge Killer Demo contest (By the way, anybody wanna buy a 2-meg autoconfig
self-powered ram board for the A1000?  I should get it soon.)

I would instead recommend BRi-WALL which advertises in Amiga World.  Why?

  * They don't charge extra for Charge Cards
  * They charge only $4.00 for shipping PER ORDER
  * 24-Hour toll-free order line
  * Technical Assistance line
  * Refund FOR ANY REASON minus 10% restocking fee
  * Exchange/Credit for 100% (no fee) for any reason

with all this, how can you lose?  Their prices are pretty good too.  I 
ordered Pen Pal and Mathamation from them.  I returned Mathamation because
its graphing sucks (no interlace, no symbols, not suitable for presentation)
and their people were nice and there were no problems.  The return policy
alone was enough to convince me to buy from them.
