An interesting little story regarding an unfortunate person who
fell under the low price spell of Montgomery Grant.
Yesterday a customer brought in an A500 that would not run World
Atlas (which ran fine in the store on our 500). We checked out
his machine (whic he bought not 2 weeks previously) and found the
following;
1) it had a 1.2 ROM in it
2) it had an old (circa 1985) ceramic dead CIA chip in it
after replacing the CIA and installing a 1.3 ROM, all was well.
he then inquired about warranty work since the machine was only 2
weeks old. we asked where he had purchased it and he said Montgomery
Grant, after we picked ourselves up off of the floor and finished giving
him our sympathy, we showed him the letter from CBM stating no warranty
work to be performed on MG machines. So, he ended up paying about
$90 to make the machine functional. There went all his fantastic savings.
This is about the 5th time a customer has brought in a bad machine that was
purchased from montgomery grant - you make the decision :-).
Regards,
George
