As stated by several others, I would like to see the Amiga educational discounts extended to college and university staff as well. The univ. here has reasonable discount programs for IBM & Mac available to students, faculty & staff. Unfortunately, it seems to be difficult to get an Amiga system at any of the state universities here, especially for departments, since we are required to get computer equipment through state contract and the state only contracted for Amiga systems for grades K-12 ... smart, huh. Anyway, I've been in contact with several local dealers concerning the educational discounts, and they were originally under the impression that it applied to students and teaching faculty for grades K-12 only. ??? are they just mis-reading the papers or what? If Commodore really wants to make inroads into the educational market, I would think it unwise to ignore the college/university clientel. And, IMHO, I think it would be beneficial to extend it to college/university staff as well. ... just my opinions ... Kostya LaPasha paleo@ecsvax.uncecs.edu

Gee, I had the impression that the educational discount was reserved for higher education institutions! Seeing how much confusion there is on the net about I'll try contacting John Harrison, Director of Ed. Marketing, and wrestle a communique out of him that can be posted on the net. Valentin

I'm interested in getting a new Amiga through the educational discount plan. Unfortunately, I can't find a local dealer who will give me any information about how to go about purchasing an amiga through the plan. Could someone please either tell me how to order without going through a dealer, or tell me where I can find an educational dealer in New Jersey or Delaware? <MC> -- |Mark Craig Carroll: <MC> |"We the people want it straight for a change; |Soon-to-be Grad Student at| cos we the people are getting tired of your games; |University of Delaware | If you insult us with cheap propaganda; |carroll@udel.edu | We'll elect a precedent to a state of mind" -Fish
