I've got a Citibank AAdvantage Gold (frequent flyer miles for American) and I just
called them up about this issue. They said that all purchases are warrantied for up to
one additional year beyond the manufacturer's and that the purchaser does NOT have to do
any sort of registration. I would be interested to know if anybody has heard otherwise.

BTW, all purchases on AAdvantage Gold qualify for 2 miles for every dollar spent
until March 18.

I'm thinking of buying a new Gateway Pentium Pro computer system and am considering having it
shipped to Oregon.

1. Does anybody know if Pistol River blows around the end of March?
2. Does anybody know somebody or someplace in Pistol River that might accept a UPS delivery?
3. How long of a drive is it to Pistol River?

Thanks.

Justin
