Just a few months ago, I purchased a 486 from Centrix Computers. The
machine has worked flawlessly since day one. Unfortunately, this past
week I received a notice from Nationwide (the company that does the
on-site maint.) that Centrix has gone out of business... BUT Nationwide
would be glad to sell me another service contract.

My questions:

1. Doesn't Nationwide have to honor the rest of the original service
contract?

2. Renewal of the contract is rather steep. Would it be worth it to
renew? The computer is working fine so far.

3. Would the manufacturers of the name brand peripherals (Mag monitor,
Diamond video, etc.) included with the system honor their factory
warranties?

4. Just what happened to Centrix anyway? I have had no problems with
their stuff and I was surprised to see them go.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
