	I'll give Commodorians here a chance to deny this before
I lose it, but if this is true: WHAT IDI*T MADE THIS POLICY! All
Commodore is doing is making life for their customers more
difficult. Service centers in general charge high prices for
labor time. They will also want you to buy from them rather than
from some other cheaper place. Maybe I'm misunderstanding things
but wasn't the Amiga (2000-3000) meant to be easily expanded???
