Have you got too much money? Buy Amiga!

]]ENTER]Have you got too much..?
]]     Someday  I  made  decision  to  replace  my  Amiga 600 with something
 faster.  I  had  about  3000  PLN,  so  I  was  able  to choose Amiga 1200 in
 decent configuration or PC. Finally, I decisioned buy Amiga.

     I  saw  many  commercials  of  firms  that  offers Amigas & accesories. I
 would  like  to  had Amiga1200Tower+850 HDD+CD-ROM 4x+FDD 1.76 Mb.
 After  analizing  all  offers  & counting money appeared I can buy Amiga
 with  HDD  1.22  Gb  (filled  up  after 3 months), Elsat 1208 card with 8 Mb
 memory  &  FDD 5.25" (It's my big sentiment to C-64's disks that I've got
 it).

     I  ordered Amiga in firm (its name I'll skip for the moment). I waited for
 desired    dispatch    above  2  weeks  (firm  says  send  dispatches  by  24
 hours).  Through  first  week  they  hasn't  any Amigas in magazine. OK - I
 can  understand  it.  But  second  week?  I  called  to that firm 7 times! In
 order  I  wrote  explicit  what  account  I want & I didn't found it. In box I
 didn't  found original Micronik's manual that is appended to tower, too.
 A  few  weeks  later  I called to firm & I remind about manual & account,
 but I didn't see it in spite of assurance 'we'll send directly'.

     In addition Amiga were 'in powder'. Separately floppy disk drive 1.76,
 hard    disk   was  in  second  floppy  disk  drive  place,  etc.  Besides  firm
 pasted    on  tower  with  stickers  of  guarantee.  Theoretically  I  should
 send  its to firm with petition about assembling Amiga, but I didn't want
 to wait. So, I began fit up all on my own.

     But  ...  Firm  didn't  inform  me  I'll  need floppy disk drive interface (to
 second  FDD).  Fortunately my friend had it, so I bought it from him. Next
 I  wanted  to  install hard disk drive, but firm didn't send me pocket to it
 (I  read  it  in  AMIGA  Magazine  7/96). I ordered full assembly, so I should
 receive  Amiga assembled correctly. In this situation I placed HDD in FDD
 5.25  spot.  On last 'Gambleriada' I buy adequate pocket. Unfortunately
 I  didn't  find  on  'Gambleriada' representative of 'my' firm. Pity. When I
 returned  to  home  appeared  that  wire  between  CD-ROM  &  HDD is too
 short. So, now I must buy longer wire.

    Such problems I hadn't got never. When I wrote this text I thinked: 'Do
 I  should  give  name of this firm?'. I decisioned give you name, because
 a  few  my  friends  has a problems with this firm. My advise is: Don't buy
 any hardware in GIFT. This firm is exceptionally insolid & incompetent.
