Are you serious?  This sounds incredible.  One f...ing year and
the price is that high, and the thing blows up when someone
powers off the Amiga?  What about power failures?  How about someone
kicking Amiga's power cord out of the wall?  It was advised to TAPE
Amiga's POWER SWITCH?

Say, you have any connection with Atari?

Grrrrrrrr.
