Sorry, but this is false, at least in the case of IBM. The warranty does
not forbid the user from opening the case. I just read the warranty for
my PC/AT. In fact the guide to operations gives very explicit instructions
for opening the case and installing various options. If this is true of
the Amiga 2000 I'm gonna cancel my order, because it is STUPID on a
box with expansion capability.
