	I thought I'd say a few words about Bri-wall.  Since it is only 
a 20 minute drive from my home town, I went to visit the store a few
weeks ago.
	Well, it's not really a "store" but more like a small warehouse
that allows customers to shop there.  They had a fairly complete stock
of most Amiga programs, a few books, and a surprising amount of hardware.
	The Bri-wall employee I spoke with was friendly and courteous.
I was allowed to open any box of software in the store and examine its
contents, even if it was shrink-wrapped.  (They said they would just re-wrap
it later.)  I did not see any Amigas for trying out the software.
	Nice place.  The only thing I didn't like about Bri-wall was its
prices.  A flagrant example is MUSIC-X by MicroIllusions:  list price
$299, Bri-wall price $200, but Abel Supply sells it for $137.  Small
packages like games and little utilities were about $10 more expensive
at Bri-wall than they are at Abel Supply.  
	However, Abel usually takes longer, since they often don't have
things in stock.  I get my stuff from Abel usually within 10 days.
	I have no affiliation with Abel Supply and Bri-wall.
