I second the motion about non-urban areas... :-(

Good advice -- I had remembered that at one of the local radio stations
they had used an Atari Mega<mumble> (didn't get much of a look at it, was
just intrigued that I'd never seen anything Atari with the "Mega" moniker
before...) and the owner of the company was a mongo Amiga fan... and had a
*couple* of 1200's he wanted to sell; as they needed minor repairs & didn't
have the time. I said "Bring 'em on by, and lemme know what you want!"
Bad news -- that was the last I'd seen of him... :-(
Good news -- I finally have a Mega and a STacy of my own, and hopefully a
Falcon will be on the way soon!

If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
