BTW, it wasn't designed "years ago;" it has been out less than 2 years.

I don't think you know what you are talking about.  Your experience with
your controller does not define the universe.  I also think you are hearing
some "information" that is bogus.

Anyway, I think you are foolish to blurt out all the extravagent accusations
you presented in this posting without personally verifying it (ie, you let
your dealer(s) make the calls and you believed whatever they told you, even
if it seemed ridiculous).  I have seen too many examples of dealers who
are incompetant and try to blame all their problems on Commodore.

Their are several experts from Commodore who post technical help here.  Have
you attempted to contact any of them with these problems?  An authentic
request for help will get you a lot further than angry flaming denunciations
of Commodore and their designs.  The Commodore people who participate here are
actually quite helpful and friendly if you don't go out of your way to insult
them.
