I had some problems with my Amiga 3000 at first, the only origional peice of equipment is the case! I had the floppy drive, hard drive, and mother board replaced because of actual or precieved hardware non-functionality. They lost my mouse but replaced it with a NEW mouse. They serviced my 1950 monitor and I havn't seen that irritating flicker yet. All free of charge (it's still under warrenty). They didn't charge me a cent to upgrade (i.e.: copy) to 2.02. Through it all they've been helpfull and courteous. They have an A500, 2000, and 3000 on display. The 3000 has a large laser printer. The are usually running videotape demos of something, Digi-View, animation packages, etc. They have a large selection of software on the shelves that you can test drive in the store. >I have personally been to many dealers in Illinois >and Iowa --- none come close, none measure up. No dealership in Iowa, a state with a population of 2M people, is going to come close to any dealership in Chicago, population ~10M people. -- -- George L.
