Well my brother after much thought bought an A500 over a MAC or 
AT clone. And he loved it, right up till his 1084 went 'ping' and
died. Now this was < 60 days out of the box! So we take it to the dealer,
who says, 'oh, commodore won't let me trade that in, it is over 30 days 
out', so we take it to the service store, and find out a few days
later that he advertises that he fixes amigas, but did not buy the 
amiga kit, so he needs my brothers 500 just to test it out, so he says.
This is a store that does warranty work for Commodore, recommended
by the dealer, so we figure we ought to be ok, but we were wrong, wrong, wrong.
Geez, i shoulda just fixed the damn thing myself, i hate to break
warranty, but i can do this stuff better than these bozos.
   So, Commodore, you just lost my brother as a repeat customer. 
You folks can NOT afford to do this stuff! Maybe you should hire 
Deming? I just hear way too many ' my amiga broke' stories!!
It WILL cost you customers!!!!
