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.
