I said that if I were them, then this was the choice that I would have made too, BUT I would have made sure there were no leftover repair issues (as there are now) before switching from the Amiga market to another.
I think you're misinterpreting his frustration. It's negligent (at best) for DCE to have had the facilities and manpower to repair defective boards for which they were responsible in producing, yet mis-handle other people's hardware to the point that it is doubtful this situation will ever resolve. They may well have had other more "financially interesting" options to become involved with. It's hearing that they simply abandoned their responsibility in order to make more money that's so outrageous.
If I were on the shafted end of this deal, first I'd be livid, and after I got done with that step, I'd be taking it up with various organizations which exist to deal with situations just like this. There is NO excuse for this on the part of DCE. You don't just receive thousands of dollars in property and hope everyone else forgets about it whilst you go on your merry way.
These aren't affronts toward you, Ron. They're a release of longstanding frustration, and frankly I'd expect to see a lot stronger reactions than these.
This is worse than the T-Shirt fiasco, in my opinion, and has gone on even longer.
