The Amiga is about the first PC I ever seriously considered buying.
Up to now I preferred sticking to my homemade, 5 year old, 68000 stuff.

Unfortunately any new US computer equipment somehow has
the tendency to stop at the east coast for a while before
risking the hop over to Europe. As I live in Switzerland
I'm particularly bothered.

What I'm looking for :

  _ Serious technical info.
  _ European availability info.
  _ Warranty info ( US or world wide ? )
    ( ... if bought in US, who in Europe would do warranty service ... )

What I would be glad to receive :

  _ Any comment on the above topics.

  _ Addresses ( e-mail or normal-mail ) of Commodore Offices
    in the US or Europe where I could ask for such info.

  _ Address of the European Commodore representative, headquarter or
    whatever is appropriate.

  _ Info about the warranty on the Amiga. What does it say ? Is there a
    mention like "in the United States" or "world wide"?

  _ What does open system mean ?
    Is there enough documentation so one can build own expansion cards ?
    And how deep can one fiddle around in the OS ( device drivers ... ) ?

I really would appreciate if someone would take the time to answer any of
the above questions. Please either post to the news or send me mail.
