It was broken on April 23. It lived only 10 days! Terrible.Terrible.Terrible. One of the authorized repair shop near me seemed to be an abandoned house. It had no signs or anything. Just a dirty house. I didn't dare enter the place. Another shop had a sign "ATARI COMPUTER". Oh, well. I hope the guy knows what he is doing. The only other time I needed a warranty repair was when my stereo was broken. I called the repair shop. Then the guy DROVE to my house and fixed it in front of me. He put a new motor in the cassette deck. It took only 10 minuetes for him to fix it. Of course it was free. Well, the place was Tokyo and the company was SONY. H.Tsukada Dept.Math. Rutgers U.
