I had two major problems with C= QA, as well as a number of
minor ones involving unreadable disks......

When I got my A2000, I got a green screen on boot up (I think
it was a green screen... was quite awhile ago). I popped the
motherboard out, and examined all of the pins and found that one
of the ram chip pins had been bent on insertion and was only
barely making contact. Again, this was an obvious problem that
should have been spotted by QA. A few minutes with a soldering
iron and everything was fine.

	The next problem came when I received my 2088 bridge
borad. It seemed to work OK but would not connect with any
of the PC bus peripherials! Upon examination, I discovered
that the PC side pins were covered with this sticky goop.
Again this should have been easily spotted by QA. I cleaned
off the goop and it worked fine....
