Karl, calm down...

First off.. there is nothing wrong with making the A500's case out of
plastic. It is a HOME computer, PERIOD!

The A2000 for your information does have a metal case, because it is, more
often used in pro markets (Video, etc..)

None of the folks I know who have/had A1000's have ever had any problems.
I know one person who had a small problem with the clock on his A2000.
I know two people who had problems with an A500.

And for the record ALL were under the 90 day warranty. Don't get me wrong, I
would like to see a 1 year warranty, if for nothing else than to calm the
fears of new buyers.

But your implication that the machine is more prone to problems, I just don't
agree with. And my service tech (who belongs to our user's group) would
also disagree with you that it takes a long time to get parts. Because it
does not.
