I'll be keeping an eye on them, this is good news for us in the USA.  However the "hissy fit" as someone else called it, is not a great way to get people to trust you with expensive hardware. I wouldn't want to buy a system worth a few grand, only for it to flake out under warranty and then discover that they've decided they don't like their supplier again.

Odd argument, a bit judgmental.
I would expect anyone who sold me something to back it up, regardless of their relationship with their supplier.
And "hissy fit"? That's the second time that immature phrase has been thrown around.
Since no one is really aware of what caused the original fall out, we can loop back to the first sentence in this post.


This is the land of amiga, where drama rules and people selling stuff vanish without a trace, sometimes with other people's money. We've already had a situation where this specific dealer has announced they no longer want to do business with a specific supplier, who happens to sell very expensive things that can (as all manufactured goods) have defects. What happens if I spend a couple thousand dollars, the device is defective and whatever happened before between these two businesses happens again?  Past history of amiga businesses shows that it could be years before I get the device replaced or refunded.  As I said, I'm carefully optimistic and I will be keeping an eye on AOTL - I'd much rather buy from a local dealer.
