Conference hydra::amiga_v1

    (See also 829.3, et al)
    
    My favo(u)rite place is The Memory Location, in Wellesley.
    
    		The Memory Location
    		396 Washington Street
    		Wellesley, MA  02181
    		617/237-6846
    
    From Spit Brook:
      -	Route 3   south to Route 128 (I95) southbound.
      -	Route 128 south to Exit 20B (Route 9 westbound).
      -	Route 9   west  to Route 16 (Washington St.) in Wellesley Hills.
        (Stay in the right lane.  You're not given much notice before
        having to exit to the right.  You'll be turning left onto Route 16,
        which then passes over Route 9.)
      -	Route 16  west  approximately 1/2 mile.
        (Watch for the Wellesley Playhouse -- a now-closed theater -- on
        the left, just before a traffic light.  The Memory Location is in
        the group of shops in the next block.  There's on-street parking on
        the east-bound side of the street and a small lot behind the
        building.  Since you're headed west, turn left at the light and
        park behind the building.) 
    
    From Boston:
        Get to Route 128 Exit 20B by whatever means you can and follow the
        rest of the directions.  From downtown Boston, follow Huntington
        Ave or Route 1 to Route 9 in Brookline Village, then go west.

    There is also the Bit Bucket in Newton on Washington Street.

    I remember reading that too.  I believe the Blitter is talked about
    in depth in the Hardware Reference Manual and briefly in the Libraries
    and Devices manual.
    
    Maybe it was only horizontal and vertical lines.  I'll have to dig
    out the manuals tonight...

    (Sorry Mike, I pulled the rug out from under you.  I moved my note
    to a new topic- 837.*.  I moved your note also.  I discovered you
    can delete your own notes in this conference "DELETE NOTE 833.33".)

    Omnitek in Salem, NH, had the lowest price this side of Abel Supply
    on a 500 with external disk - $35 less than Memory Location, and no
    sales tax.  I believe they're selling the 1/2 meg internal memory
    board for less than Abel, $125 or something like that.  The Salem
    store is a branch.  The main store is in Tewksbury, MA - that's where
    they keep the gurus. 

    The Salem store is at 78 Main Street.  From Boston, go north on 93 to 
    the Rockingham Park exit in Salem, go past the racetrack to the end 
    of the road and turn left.  Go down the road a couple miles to the 
    first light and turn left.  Omnitek's right there on the left hand 
    side.

    The address of the Tewksbury store is 1300 Main.  I've never been 
    there.

    I called the 800 number from an AMIGA TV ad.  They sent me the address
    of Computer Mart in Nashua and Manchester.  No mention of Omnitek.
    I called Computer Mart, they will special order it for you at FULL
    LIST PRICE $699.95.  There are none in the show room, at least in
    nashua where I called.  Manchester might have a different policy
    for all I know.  FYI

    The computer mart really isn't much of an amiga dealer anymore.
    They are nearly 100% Apple.

Too bad Commodore can't read this conference.  Can anyone forward the above
replies to them on some other net?

    Having spent considerable time searching for this info, here are
    directions to the Software Shop.  This seems like a logical place
    for it...
    
    (Copied from a reply to an old note on an unrelated topic.)

           ---------------------------------------------
    
    The Software Shop is on 84 Pleasant St, in Worcester, MA.

    Pleasant St. runs perpendicular to Main St and intersects it at
    City Hall.  Number 84 is on the north side of Main St.
        
    Pleasant St. is one-way at Main St, so you'll have to backtrack.
    If you're coming from rt 9, take Shrewsbury St to Washington Sq
    rotary.  Then, take second exit off rotary, and bear right.  Go
    straight through 2 red lights.  The second light will be to cross
    Main st.  Go up the hill and bear left, then take a left at the
    second light again.  Another left will put you onto Pleasant St.
    The Software Shop is a small closet, so you'll have to look for
    it.
     

    There's a new Amiga dealer in Belmont:
    
    	Soft Designs
    	394 Trapelo Rd.
    	Belmont, MA
    	489-4056
    
    I don't know how good their hardware prices are, but they seem to
    be enthusiastic about the machine.
    
    A couple of weeks ago, I got a tour of the whole place, including
    the unfurnished room which will hold their BBS and the basement
    with piles of unpacked boxes.
    
    So far, I rate them not as good as the Memory Location, but better
    than the Bit Bucket in Newton.
