 Well,I must be one of those rarities then. I bought a 500 with it's 90
day warrantee and everything was fine until month 5. When I took the computer
in for repair I was asked if I had modified something myself because traces
on the PCB were MELTED! I had never even popped open the case. It took 3 trip
and 1 month to finally get it fixed. I think a 1 year warrantee should be the
minimum length of time for something like a computer. If most electronic stuf
that goes a couple weeks will probably keep on working, then CBM shouldn't
have a problem with a good warrantee.
