I would hesitate to call Atari a big player in the PC market.  Better
to compare Commodore to IBM or Compaq, if that's the *kind* or reputation 
that Commodore would like to have.  No?

But he bought it from Commodore.  If he wants money back, he should
work through the vendor, or Commodore.  Surely you can't be suggesting
that he call *Magnavox* with this problem!  That's for Commodore to do.
I don't think you've made a good point here at all.  (I can imagine the
people at Magnavox now: "Well, sir, the part that went bad actually
wasn't made by us.  We buy it from Sony.  Why don't you call them?  :-)
