Amstrads in the US

Francois Auradon wrote: My experience living in Grenoble, France is quite different. Over the past 9 months I have collected quite a respectable collection of micro-computers mostly picked up for the normal FF 100 (~$20) at the local flea markets. I also regularly visit the "Cash Converter" type store who sometimes have interesting offerings at not unreasonable prices. (e.g found an ATMOS for FF 150 and an Exelvision ExTel for FF200). Of course I go green with envy when I hear of the low prices of systems in the US. The last but one time I visited I came back with 2 suitcases crammed with goodies collected on a weekend scrounge around Silicon Valley guided by Sam Ismail. If anyone is interested in the older European computers, I regularly see and pass by Amstrad machines. I would be happy to pick them up and pass them on as long as I'm not out of pocket. Shipping is always an issue, but if folks are willing to wait, I usually get tot he states once or twice a year and can, and have, brought systems over for "free" - just the cost of UPS shipping within the States. -- Hans B.
