In response to the guy who had the "strange" problem with the caps lock
key flashing on and off:

I had the same problem on the A500 I bought last tuesday. I took it home and
set it all up, played with it awhile, turned off the monitor and went to bed.
The next AM I got up and the cap lock was flashing away.  I did check the 
keyboard, and the only thing that still worked was the CTRL AMIGA AMIGA 
sequence.  (The mouse still worked, and the machine booted fine, but the 
keyboard light just kept flashing.)  Anyway, I took it back to Software Etc.
(their policy is to replace rather than fix) and got a new one.  But,..
while at S.E. they tried mine out and it worked again.  Must have been a 
heat related problem on some keyboard control chip.

BUT WAIT...  The story continues...

The new one they gave me also has now been replaced (all within one week).
This one had some problem with the internal floppy that made is squeal like a
banshee.  At first I thought it would go away after a little use, but man; I'll
tell you,.. just try to figure out the amigados file system, play with the 
editors, the extra's, etc. with a disk drive that makes a PAINFUL (read 
excruciatingly painful) noise everytime it spins.  

The third A500 seems to be OK, (but I've only had it 2 days so far).  Thank God,
Software Etc. didn't try to fix them for me or I wouldn't own one now.
