  Amiga Specialists  (Alias MicroWorld)
  15076 Middlebelt Rd.
  Livonia,  MI  48154
  (313) 261-0550	Archi Biggs

Back in November of last year, this company offered an "Amiga 1000 upgrade to
a Amiga 2000".  The deal was (1) old Amiga 1000 + $1000 bucks = Amiga 2000 +
Bridgecard for 1 cent more.  Well they got my Amiga 1000, and I got the 2000
but ITS JULY and I have not received my Bridgecard yet!!!.  86 other customers
are in the same waiting game.

	Word has it that this company may be in a cash basis with most
	vendors and that CBM is aware of the problem but what can they
	do to remedy this problem.

	What can we customers do, get a credit?  I would prefer to no
	longer do business with this company and other off-the-shelf
	products are of no interest to me.  I want my Bridgecard.

I know that the deal was struck between Amiga World and its customers, but
this was an authorized CBM trade-in right??

Could someone from CBM at least advise us customers what we can do; a half
year is an awfully long time to wait for a Bridgecard.
