I know many people don't like Apple [I don't, either] This is a good idea, but of course it takes lots of personel. If Commodore wants to loan me a 3000 for a month, I'd be happy to hit all the schools in my area. (Years ago, I did this for Osborne. They obligingly went bankrupt while I still had the machine, so I got to keep it for years 8-) COMMODORE? Listen up! Here's a ***CHEAPER*** and maybe even better idea. Commodore marketing. Please send an understandable version of your educational discount program to every college in the country, so that when students go to there local college computer center or campus store or whatever, the Amiga appears at an alternative. For example, here at Penn State, if one goes in and asks what kind of computer a student can buy, one receives a Macintosh price list, an IBM price list, and a Zenith price list. They'd happily hand out the Amiga price list, too, I'm sure, if they had one. Second, make the program clear and easy to understand even by people who are not Amiga part number experts.

Here's a ***CHEAPER*** and maybe even better idea. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Several weeks ago, there was an excellent posting in comp.sys.amiga explaining why this phrase is less than useless. Please read it. I believe it was called something like, "Who contributes to comp.sys.amiga" and was posted by Tomas Rockiki (I think). If you don't have it in your mail archives, I'm sure someone would dig it up for you. Thanks for your support. -dave
