Michael, you are undoubtably correct, if a dealer won't vouch for you, they
aren't worth doing biz with.
But, let's consider the thousands (we hope, hundreds of thousands) of new
Amiga owners who are purchasing Amiga's via dealers this next year. You
cannot seriously expect them to check out their dealer to see if they are
really customer oriented, etc before they purchase. If they're like most
any PC customers, they just go to an dealer, are sold a machine and walk
out. So, if they later decide to put in a new disk drive, more memory,
etc… later their machine develops a problem – and their dealer doesn't
'back them up'…. what are they to do? They are left cold out of luck.
Someone here (a sysop – forget who) said that they hadn't seen any problems
with dealers/Commodore over this issue, and that's good. But, in my
opinion, Commodore should make *explicit* what the policy is, and say that
normal addin's to A2000/A3000's will not void the warranty. Period.
Otherwise they should seal the dang machine with cement and give all
dealers chisels.
