   It is amazing I am still able to walk, what with the incredible 
amount of amunition I've been pumping into my feet lately. :-) 

   About a week ago, someone told me about the new Commodore policy,
so I called up a Commodore dealer and asked  them about it.  They told
me that the new policy DID pertain to both the A2000 and A3000, as
well as a number of other products.

   After shooting my mouth off on the net again last night, I called
the same dealer today and asked them about it again.  Sure enough, the
new policy does NOT pertain to the A2000 or A3000.  <BAM> <BAM>  There 
went what was left of my feet... :-)

   I should blame this on Commodore.  After all, if they didn't have
their act together so well, I would have more to legitemately complain
about, and I wouldn't be uselessly shooting myself so much.  I have been
REALLY scratching to find things to complain about at Commodore.  What
ever happened to the good old days when there was plenty to complain
about at Commodore?  I'm beginning to miss them...
