Their prices are cheap but I do have some criticisms. First of Uh oh.... [lots of criticisms of MG cut] :P.S. I read somewhere that Amigas are warranted for only 90 days. :That's strange, because on my Amiga 2000's waraanty card, it said that :my computer was warranted for ONE YEAR! Uh, hope you don't feel too bad, but your computer is actually warranted for 0 months, 0 days. You see, after Mongomery Grant has been doing wrong to C-A, they were dumped as official dealers and are in big trouble. Any machines sold by MG will not have their warranties honored. They have been under-cutting C-A dealers by selling grey market Amigas (bought from failing dealers, etc) and selling used machines as new. Dealers have been specifically told NOT to touch any machines bought from MG. C-A will not touch them either. Of course, MG won't touch them after they're out the door either. Is your warranty a Canadian warranty? If it is, you probably won't get it fixed by a US dealer as well. The bottom line? STAY AWAY FROM MONTGOMERY GRANT. They are cheating, thieves that should be run out of business completely. ------- The above opinions are a collection of data gathered over the last 9 months from dealers other useres and C-A people.
