Beware indeed.  Not only do you run the risk of getting a less than
new and running machine, but if it does break, your local dealer has
probable received a letter from Commodore stating that they are NOT
to service any computers that were purchased from Montgomery Grant.

Had a friend have his go belly up, and he had to pay to get it fixed, but
it was worth it not to have to deal with those morons in New York again.

I have heard nothing but critiscism from folks I know who have been lulled
by the low prices, without giving any thought to after-the-sale service.
Sure the price may be a bit lower, but when you get a piece of junk or
the machine drops dead, who do you go yell at? A voice on the phone??
Right! :-).

Regards,
