Summary: Caveat Emptor

I'm not putting down Lyco, or any other mail-order outfit, but you should
be aware of a potential problem with buying Ataris by mail. Atari's
warranty is enforced by the dealer from which the computer is bought. This
means if your new ST coughs and dies you have to send it back to Lyco (or
whoever) to get it fixed. If you take it to a local Atari dealer they will
charge you full price, which is at their discretion to set. So beware.
