I have had them open a package out of stock, when they didn't have a demo copy open alread, and let my try it. (Of course I should say that I'm a fairly good customer, proablably spent $1000 bucks on software there in the last two years). There are a couple of other dealers in this area that are good, reputable dealers, but as far as I know none of the others will let you test software. These others that I know of are B & C Computervisions on Kiely Blvd. in Santa Clara, and HT Electronics, and Atari and Amiga dealer at Maude and Mathilda in Sunnyvale and 2nd store at Prospect and Lawrence Expressway in San Jose. (right next to Mac Donalds. San Jose Computer has a store in Santa Clara also, on El Camino Real, downtown. There is also Federated and a couple of other Atari dealers I haven't looked over yet.

I have no idea where E. Windsor is, but I'll look for a map. Software Station has a branch in Princeton, but the software selection is less than impressive, and they claim to be mega dealers, but no megas in the store, and NO price list is even available. It's a beautiful store, but not enough Atari ST things. To give them credit, they DID have a 1040 ST on the table, although it was dead as a doornail, running no demos at all.
