Here in the UK all Amigas come with a one year warranty as standard. The
machines that we buy are the West German variety, and I know of no-one with
one of these machines that has ever had any problems, perhaps there is a
quality problem with the source of the American machines ?

I believe that the 1 year waranty in this country is due to tougher consumer
protection legislation and to it being standard practise.
