The latest news is that they are on the GSA.

I ^had heard that they had made one sale through Sears I think, has there ^been more? I've been called (and have called) the Federal Systems Group at Commodore. It is located in Reston (for the DC area...I noticed your Pentagon address) and unfortunately the business cards I have are located at my other desk. If you'd like a contact number email me and I'll send it to you. As far as I can tell there is all of one guy dealing with Amiga sales with the remainder pushing the various PC clones that C= makes. Most demos get run through a local dealer (New Age Computers, College Park MD) at least for Goddard. Not totally surprising since it is a bit closer than Reston ;-). GSA pricing is close to Ed prices. My GSA catalog is over there with the business cards :-(. C= has been pushing a bit and there is a 3000UX at Goddard and people are pretty impressed with it (or so the rep says ;-). FYI New Age Computers has one of the nicer computer/AV setups that I've seen for rent. They have a 2500 w/Toaster and some nice AV gear (genlocks, TBCs, professional level decks, etc) and rent the facility out for $50/hour. ^ ^************************************************************************ ^Standard Disclaimer ^ ^DDN: rdixon@pentagon-ai.army.mil ^CML: (703) 325-2587 NT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // | Nigel Tzeng - STX Inc - NASA/GSFC COBE/SMEX Project \X/ | xrtnt@amarna.gsfc.nasa.gov or xrtnt@vx730.gsfc.nasa.gov | Amiga | Standard Disclaimer Applies: The opinions expressed are my own.
