This is not meant to start a flame war, and it is probably best to resist from
following up if at-all possible.
  I thought a few ST users (and would be Falcon users) would be interested to
know that there are several problems with the A1200.
        1) The modulators have a habit of failing after an hours use.  One guy
in c.s.a.h is on his 4th because of this problem, and several others have had
more than one replaced.  As far as I know this problem has not been ironed out
yet.
        2) Misc. display glitches.  These appear on all machines when using
certain monitors and the problem looks here to stay.
        3) Under-powered PSUs.  Some early ones cannot handle HDs.
        4) Keyboard problems.  This appears to be a serious problem, which
might not be fixable.  Symptoms are keys sometimes not responding and keys
registered as pressed after one pressed later is.  This basically means you
can't use the machine for wordprocessing unless you can't type.

The other problems I reported earlier seem to have been fixed now.
