Agree!
You risk the warranty by flashing the unit, but you still have a lot of
warranty-parts left.

BTW: I recall we had a lot of locked hard disks in the beginning of Rockbox.
If Archos software did that fault I would claim my warranty, but now it
definitly was Rockbox (and no way to remove the archos.mod before handing it
in for warranty :-) But the Rockbox team found how to unlock the HD. But in
that case was the warranty a bit far away... :-/
