Forgot to mention in my last posting. Please EMail me your pleads for
A1000 --> A2000. I am writing CA and would like to send them a list of
names in addition to my letter. For those that forgot to send in THEIR
LETTER to CA the address is:
Commodore Marketing
1200 Wilson Drive
Westchester, PA 19380
My suggestion is to beg a lot, cry a little, wave the Amiga flag, and if
all else fails wave some $$$ under their noses :-) !
I proposed to them that if the A2000 trade up is not possible, that an A2500
trade up (provided the A2500 comes to the US marketplace :-) would be even
better. Let me know which side of the fence you sit on (EMail only please).
I can be reached at:
RealTime (prefered): 1(312)418-1236 (6pm to 10:30pm central time)
USmail: John Kjellman
17302 Park Ave.
Lansing IL 60438

You have to sign an agreement that the system you buy at the Educational discount is for your own use and that you won't resell it for a period of 2 years (or maybe it was 1 year). Even if you did this on the sly, I doubt CBM would let you buy more than one system without getting suspicious. -- John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps.
