I have been asked by the Education department to post the most common
questions and answers about the Educational Purchase Plan.
1: Does the Commodore education purchase program end on June 30?
The Commodore Education Purchase Plan does not end on June 30. The program
was started in January 1990 and will continue indefinitely. Since the
product selections and pricing is reviewed by Commodore management
frequently, these are subject to change without notice. There are no plans
to end the program.
2: Sales Tax: when do I pay it?
End users in the following states will pay sales tax: PA, GA, VA, IL and
CA. This is stated on the current order form. The collection of sales tax
is based upon legal notices given to Commodore about the tax collection
requirements in these states. If the tax laws change and additional states
require the collection of sales tax, Commodore will add them to the list.
3: Do high school students qualify for the education discount?
No. Only students enrolled in a course of study at a post-secondary
Qualified Educational Institution and are certified by the institution as
making significant progress towards a degree qualify for the education
discount.
4: Can a qualified end user buy Amiga components and options without
the purchase of a CPU or bundled system?
Only until June 30, 1990 ($250 minimum purchase). After that date,
individual components may only be purchased at the education price in
conjunction with a bundled system or CPU.
