I have a very early release A1000 (circa September/October 1985).
As a matter of fact, so does my brother, his business partner, and another
good friend of mine.  None of our A1000's have exhibited the problems you
describe.

What do you expect?  You enter a group intended for people who use a
particular product, then attempt to degrade the product (and the company
which produces it), and expect smiles and thank you's?  It seems obvious
that you do not like the Amiga, and possibly Commodore as well.  If that
is the case, then you are entitled to your opinion.  However, you won't
find a large base of support for that position here.  Since you
apparently prefer PC's of the MS-DOS variety, perhaps you should take your
arguments to comp.sys.ibm.pc, where you may find a more receptive
audience, though I doubt it.
