  Yes, about a month and a half ago when I picked up my A3000, I had a
  defective power switch.  The actual problem was very simple to correct
  (the power button on the front of the machine came unseated from the
  switch on the power supply during shipping) and my dealer swapped 
  machines for me so I was not down for more than a day!  I also received
  a call from Commodore expressing concerns about the machine (I think I 
  had the frist reported defective release A3000 :-)).  All in all the
  service I got was the best I have ever had with ANY of the conputers
  I own or have owned!  My 3000 and 1950 have been running flawlessly
  ever since and I have been putting a lot of mileage on them both!
  I agree... chill out!  The 3000 is a terrific machine!  I wouldn't
  put it up in the workstation arena (compared to an SGI or R/S6000 it
  would really pale) but for a home computer it is tops in my book!
