I didn't have time to mess with it, so I brought it into a local dealer to fix it. Meanwhile, I called a friend of mine who had used the GS as the "Cortland" to see what he thought. He had seen the problem on his machine a couple of times, but it cleared up after a couple of reboots. Feeling idiotic, I returned to the dealership to returieve my GS, but they had allready 'fixed' it. I talked to the guy behind the counter and there are no charge, so I didnt mind what they did. But when I returned home, hooked it back up, and switched it on, low and behold, the srevice tech took it upon himself to service my GS with NEW ROMS. WITHOUT MY CONSENT! Yet again, I returned to the shop, a little but more inspired this time, and had it out with the manager(the tech was gone for the day...dont blame him), and he went in back and returned my old ROMs to me promptly. I still have them today. After I patched some of my software for the new ROMs I pulled them, but I still am surprised about the 'brain surgery' to my GS without my consent. Oh, if anyone is interested, the Transwarp GS will be released soon, and if you want one, you better put in your order now....AE has quite a waiting list for this one... David C.
