Hi there,
Well you can add one more B.C. resident (Victoria to be precise) to that
list. It seems that B.C. Amiga users are more rare than Vancouver Island
marmots.
I've had my A3000 since 1990 and an A1000 before that. Even though I have a
PIII and a 486 (for Linux) at home, my A3000 is still my baby and primary
computer for nearly everything.
I also know that there may be one or two more Amiga users up in Courtney,
B.C.
Cheers,
Darin Ritchie.
