I can't imagine what possible benefit this policy has for Commodore, but I've been round and round with them on it. Mazda is willing to sell me any silly little doohickey for my car... at an incredibly inflated price ($5 for a piece of plastic the size of a backspace key! And that's not even a critical part)... why can't Commodore do the same? I need half a penny's worth replacement parts (which I'd be willing to pay 500 pennies for, easy) and my machine's out of action. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
