Is there a 1 year warrantee? Help me, guys! :) Well the Biggest problems the 3000 owner i know has been having is. SOME 1.3 programs WON'T WORK ON A 3000... Including MOST games by EA, and some GAMES are TOOOOOO FAST.... (The action is sooooo fast the game is impossible) I've seen a FEW utilities that don't like the 3000. Most noticiably CANDO (Version 2.0 is soon out and is to fix this...but) last night we decided to install Cando(1.2) on the 3000, we started the install script and WHAM a BIG crash, the red "guru" wasen't even flashing!! and we (kinda) screwed up his hard drive...(We had to reformat/restore) it. So the major prob with a 3000 is Program Incompatiabilities... I belive these will get fewer and fewer as Companies get 3000's and start programming RIGHT!.(EA, take heed!)
