They will meet or beat any mail order price for an Amiga that still has the factory warrenty. The catch is, I hear, that Commodore will NOT honor the warrenty for any machine purchased through the mail, ergo Slipped Disk has a perfectly safe advertising gimmick here. Rumor has they are turning any company that is reported to them on the offer into CBM for suitable punishment. SO..... If you are buying a mail order Amiga, be prepared to ship the unit back to the same dealer if it breaks while under warrenty as Commodore won't touch it. -- Jim Harvey | "Ask not for whom the bell Michigan Bell Telephone | tolls and you will only pay 29777 Telegraph | Station-to-Station rates."
