Well i also bought an Amiga just before C= went belly up, but I got
it both repaired on warranty and bought stuff from it from the
local company I bought it from.

The Amiga is and have always been a hobbycomputer for me, the
nice cozy chair I sit down in when I get home..

Please note that I stated that its not the same as supportcontract.

However, to get serious support you need a supportcontract, "normal"
support is usally not provided by the manufacturer, its provided from
the company that sold you the product.

(With some exceptions, for printers its pretty common that the mfg
provides a supportline, often with a paynumber and there you can talk
with idiots that knows less than you anyway..)
