I find the responses to this posting very surprising ....even
alarming to a degree.  Just because all you guys love your Amiga, and
I for one am very glad you do, it is no reason to dump on a guy that
paid for something and did not get it.

Over reacting, yes maybe Brian is a bit.  However I'd be damn
mad if I spent a lot of money, not to mention the huge investment
in time figuring out what to buy, only to receive a system in
the condition he apparently received it in.  *Regardless if it
is one out of a 1,000, C= should have been a bit more
understanding... I don't know maybe they were and we did not see
(hear) that part of the story.

Personally, I'd want to hear: "We'll send you a refund if you can't
wait for the repair."  And that is another problem here, Repair! I
don't want a "repaired" system when I paid for a "New" system.


I must say that I don't believe the "cheap R&D" routine someone
posted. I work in this industury too. "Time to market"
forces deviation from normal "full testing" sometimes but I just
don't believe that C= would send out a machine like the 3000 like
that. First of all it would end up being a much higher rate of
failure than this one situation.

flame off....Brian, did you receive an refund offer on your
purchase? And, was it an educational deal? Iam not sure if the Ed.
deal really makes, or should make, a difference. I don't think it
should.

Brian, since you posted this....could you update the net when you
get a solution or concerned calls from C=?

Maybe the rest of you guys don't want to hear it but I am so close
to purchasing 3000 that I really want to know a little something
about the company I am buying from.


just don't want to repeat my ibm experiences......looking for a
better way!
