This is the crap that I got only my Sam died *just* before MGT went down, leaving me Sam-less for two and a half months - I had to battle it out with Touche-Ross (the receivers) just to get my kit back. Bastards. Currently, my Sam has no UHF modulator, and the disc drive is getting shaky, the audio has unbelievable noise on it, the colours drift on my bastard monitor, it's over 5 years old BUT THE THING THAT PISSES ME OFF THE MOST IS THAT THE LETTER HAS RUBBED OFF MY 'A' KEY ARRGGHH!!!!!
