Michael,
At one time ( and I thought currently ), CBM considered mail-order
sales unacceptable for a dealer. A local store closed because they sold
mail-order software, then tried to sell Amiga hardware, and it was my
impression that CBM would have none of it. It was a very small store;
maybe it's more a matter of scale. If CBM is seriously interested in
supporting dealers (and they SERIOUSLY need it) then Creative should not
be permitted to sell new machines, especially if CBM will not honor
warranty repairs to these machines and Creative doesn't make that clear at
time of sale. I'm not SURE that this is the policy, but believe it to be
true.
CBM is definitely improving on a number of fronts. But they still send
mixed messages to their dealers.
