[comp.sys.amiga] Educational Prices on A3000 ??

etac@levels.sait.edu.au (01/09/91)

  I have a question which I hope someone, maybe from comodore, can give me
an answer that I'll like.

  I am very seriously considering buying an A3000 or an A3000UX. The only
thing holding me back at the moment is findinmg the best price.  Being a
student, like many others, I won't to get the best deal I can.  I recently
heard rumours the C= is going to push the A3000UX to students by giving
educational discounts in one form or another.

  My question is this (it's actually more than one question) - Are these
rumours true, if so what sort is discount is available and what are the
term of the arangement.

  I from Australia - which I suspect will make a difference - so information
relevant to Australia would be best.  The best deal I am able to get at the
moment is $Aus. 6 000 (which is about $US 4 700 I think) for a A3000UX.

  I'll even help get the ball rolling if I need to.

Thanks
