Recently we purchased a number of 1186s for our lab. Hardware maintenance on these costs about $2000.00/year/machine. Since this adds up to a hefty chunk of money, and since we keep hearing words to the effect that the 1186s are 'very reliable' machines, we are thinking of foregoing the maintenance contract and gpaying for service as and when the need arises. i would like to ask for your opinions/experience in this regard. Also, can someone gve me information regarding reliability of the 1186s, or point me towards sources?
