Please don't waste our time with outright trash. If you don't like everybody posting complete price lists, say so, don't waste extra bandwidth on the net. Also, now you have said so and so said such and such. This is an outright lie and lies spread via the net can cause everyone trouble. ***Flame Off*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Robert M.

Dan, Please buy an IBM or Mac and see how happy they make you. They may even give you an educational discount on their inferior machines. We'll see then how upset you get over CBM's GREAT DEALS.

OUTRIGHT LIE???? you mean you think someon might take it seriously? get real.. I thought it was funny. Better than reading the real Educational Price List for the 15th time, or your flaming nonsense. Hey Barrett! I want one of those Cray-on-a-sticks! I will trade a used 6 Foot Tree Shrew and one Gerber Flame Thrower for it. -- John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps.

Hey... someone noticed! :-) Even through 2 people flamed me on Usenet, my mailbox is stuffed with (positive) messages about the humorous content of my posting. So don't worry, John... most c.s.a-ers have a sense of humor. :-) (And I'll send you that "Tree Shrew 3000" parcel post.)

WHY DIDN'T THEY LET US UPGRADE OUR A1000's TO THE LATEST It's really not so hot for those of us interested in expanding current systems. I bought my A2000 last July EVEN before they had educational pricing and now. I only have 30+ days to buy the individual components that I need. I'd like a Bridgecard and '030 card, but cannot afford both. Do I have to buy more to get what I need later? CBM really needs to rethink this policy and make components as easily accessible to students now as well as later. Everyone call and yell at them. -- David W.
