Interesting to note is that it appears that the warranty on the Amiga CPUs in the US is only 90 days and that Commodore Canada extends this to a full year. This might influence your decision in where the CPU is purchased. The paperwork that comes with the units still says 90 days but all the dealers (and more importantly, the service centers) will tell you that it is 1 full year. I know friends who have had their units serviced 6 or 7 months into the warranty and have had no warranty problems. .../Ed (Wilts%CaVax.AB.CA@UncaNet.Bitnet) Ed Wilts (403) 234-1007 Sr. Systems Analyst, Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd.
