[comp.sys.amiga] Mild Flame/Request on Commodore Information

bwdavies@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Davies) (08/03/90)

I called Commodore's 1-800 number to get some information about the 
Amiga 3000 -- specifically, prices under the educational discount 
program and local stores where I could try one out.

I gave the operator my name, address, school, telephone number and all that,
and was told that I could expect the information to arrive within two 
weeks.

Well, three and a half weeks later, it arrived.  I got a letter listing
three stores, the local store is out of business (which I told the operator)
, and the next closest is about an hour and a half away (Binghamton or 
Fairport, New York).  I also got a general Amiga can do anything brochure,
and a little fold out brochure on the A3000.  No information on the 
educational discount program at all, not even a form.

I realize that prices were due to change at the end of July, and I'm hoping
that Commodore will send me the new prices and forms as soon as they're
ready.  In the meantime, just what are prices on the Amiga 3000?  I want
to get news and mail, so I'm looking for a machine with plenty of memory
and a large hard drive.  What about the rumors of a tower case Amiga (the
3500?)?

Thanks,
