| There is just one as far as I know (but what do I know; I'm from
Birmingham). Ampex Systems in Norcross. They sell only Commodore
stuff, mainly Amiga. They have a very knowledgeable staff and good
stock of software. There is also an Amiga Users' Group here, but I've
never had the chance to attend any meetings due to scheduling.

| 5332.2 | At least three... | VMSNET::WOODBURY | | Thu Jan 09 1992 10:21 | 21 |
| There are at least three, maybe four, plus the Software Etc. chain.
The best in my opinion is Ampex Systems on Jimmy Carter Blvd, about
a mile south of I285, across from the Dunken Donuts. Recently expanded
its sales space and has a good service department.
Also good, but smaller is BFJ Enterprises in the back corner of the
upper level of Roswell Mall off Holcom (sp?) Bridge Rd. The place is
in transition at the moment and I'm not sure exactly which direction it
is going.
There's a video store down town someplace that also does Amiga. I've
not been there so I can't tell you much about it.
There's also a rumor that there is another dealer on the east side of
town, but I haven't had time to check it out at all.
There's also a guy in Marietta who used to be an Amiga dealer who is
now mail order only. Sold all his stock to Ampex Systems. Probably of
historical interest only.
Software Etc. only has the small 500 systems and very little in the
way of add ons.

| The AAMIGA CENTER is the store that sold its stock to Ampex systems.

| My Amiga pimp in Marrietta highly recommends BFJ. It seems the new
owners, the children of the old owner, want to compete with mail order
companies. My friend suggests you don't overlook these people.

| 5332.6 | BFJ - Great service! | DECWET::DAVIS | Mark W. Davis 206.865.8749 | Fri Jan 10 1992 13:23 | 20 |
| I have ordered from BFJ. Their service is great and their normal
method of shipping (if you mailorder as I do) is UPS Blue. They give
discounts (on top of their mailorder discount) for purchases above
certain amounts. The percent of discount depends on the purchase
amount. I downloaded their catalog from Portal, ordered what I wanted
through internet e-mail and got my purchases (WShell 2.0, ADPro 2.0,
TurboText) THE NEXT DAY with NO SHIPPING CHARGES. They sent my order
UPS RED because they wanted to get it to me before the holidays.
(christmas was 2 days away) I was mightly impressed. Their prices are
compararable to Safe Harbors, but if you order in volume they get a bit
better. Their catalog is smaller than Safe Harbors but as mentioned
above their shipping policy cannot be beat. UPS blue at a shipping
rate that others send their packages ground. Check them out, I have
heard nothing but praise for them from folks on Portal and I am very
pleased with the service they've given me. So pleased, in fact, that I
am going to order an Firecracker24 from them :) I will upload their
catalog if there is interest.

I also swear by BFJ. I have been dealing with them for several years now, and
have always found them to be more than fair in pricing and service.
Cheers,
