In the case of most computers that don't meet the final QC check (even for the slightest scratch) they are sent back to be repaired but then according to many state laws, cannot be sold as a new item. Some are sold directly from the factory at reduced prices as refurbished, others are sold by dealers as demos. These auto, computers or cameras are sold with the regular warranty and for all practical purposes are as perfect as any, after the minor flaw is fixed. I have also heard that this applies to Leica as well & there are many Leica dealers on the LUG that would know for certain. ----------- Mary Grace 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 In a message dated 8/24/00 5:50:18 PM Pacific Daylight Time, DonjR43198@aol.co m writes: > > It is my experience over more than 30 years that this California dealer is > full of prunes or something even more odiferous.
