Where could I get a microA1 ?

Colin_Camper:

The XE's have had issues that are all surmountable - most XE owners are happy with them. I only hear people complain and {bleep} about A1 (and Eyetech) when they don't own one...

Yes, by definition, you wont hear many complaints from A1 buyers.  Not necessarily because there is nothing to complain about though.

The mad folks at the Sinclair-C5 Club will tell you its the best -car- ever made too, but the rest of us know better...

Yeah, point noted.  However, like any product opinion, the potential buyer has to weigh up the information they have to hand with their own experience.

I'm not likely to sway those people who already have an A1.  That's my point, anyone dedicated/fanatical enough to already own an A1 is never going to have a bad word to say about it, even if criticism is justified.  The A1 being a bad-buy reflects poorly on the buyer.  

You cant get an accurate and dispassionate hardware opinion from A1 owners.  And you cant get a fully informed opinion from non-owners.  So you just have to look at the facts and form an opinion from those.

Unfortunately, those raw facts taken by themselves (without a dispassionate and truthful hands-on account) paint a pretty bleak picture.  Hence my analogy with the Sinclair-C5, you dont have to own one to know they're junk.
