I think the deal was this:  If an authorized dealer sells a bunch of
Amigas to an "unauthorized" dealer, and then the unauthorized dealer sells
the Amiga to you, then Commodore does not "honor" the warranty.  The W
goes to the first buyer, and Commodore deems that this is the unauthorized
dealer.  This arrangement is pretty common in the industry.
