I have seen mention of a Student Representative program being offered by
Commodore. I am interested, but do not currently have access to a
dealer close by, so I have no idea how to get info. on either this
program or the educational discount program. Could someone at Commodore
send me some info in the Stu. Rep. program?
Also, since I don't have a nearby dealer, how can I take advantage
of CBM's programs, since mail order dealers have supposedly been dropped from
the "authorized dealer" list (or whatever they call it)? This would
not be a problem if they had a ubiquitous distribution network, but many
people are far away from an authorized dealer.
Could the student rep. program be used to overcome this problem, at least
on the campuses of remotely situated Universities such as mine? The
direct route through the University Bookstore or campus Computing Services
organization is most likely out, since they are very IBM-ized here.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I might even be interested
in setting up a dealership, although from what I hear, the up-front costs
would definitely be a very effective barrier for me, a poor college student.
