Sorry Ron, I just can't agree with ya. I myself do not think that Commodore
products are any more trouble prone than Apple, IBM, MacII... etc..<However,
I will agree that in *MY* opinion the 1084 monitor is the biggest piece of
monitor junk that Commodore has EVER put their name on!>.

For example... a local company here uses Amiga's and just recently purchased
MacIIs for Graphics work in commercials, etc....
They have had THREE (3) of the MacII's die from power supply failures...
And Apple has not been to helpful in getting things fixed in a short amount
of time. <This was told to me via a gent that works with the company, I have
no connection with this company or first hand knowledge of this>

In contrast the Amigas have held up VERY well!

I myself think Commodore's biggest problem is for the most part, not quality
problems, as ALL devices will have some problem(s). Anything as complicated as
an Amiga, your bondto have a few bad ones. I *MYSELF* think Commodore's
weakest area is in the repair area. Most of the "Repair Stations" are
complete idiots! They have no idea what is going on! And treat customers
like dirt! If they (CBM) every want to see the Amiga make inroads into the
business circles like the ORIGINAL MAC did, they had better do something
about "service and support AFTER the sale"!
I myself love the Amiga... It deserves to "make it big", and we have made
alot of progress the last couple of years, but I can see where the big
corporations are coming from...

In a nutshell.... The Amiga is no more unreliable than any other computer,
but repair support could be better!
