There have been many questions/comments/etc. of late regarding the educational
purchase plan from CBM. I thought the following might be of some interest.
It was posted on CompuServe by Commodore and is posted here _with_ permission:
COMMODORE ANNOUNCES
EDUCATION PURCHASE PLAN
Commodore announced the Education Purchase Plan for students, educators and
educational institutions to regional and district sales managers on Friday,
December 22, 1989. Details of the program, complete with official order forms
should reach local dealers by December 29th.
Four complete Amiga(R) systems have been especially configured to meet the needs
of educators and students at every level. The A500 system includes the CPU,
memory expansion and external drive. The A2000 system includes an XT bridgeboard
and second internal drive. The 2000HD/1 and the 2500/30 systems are bundled with
an AT bridgeboard. All of the specially-configured Amiga systems include a
monitor. Also included are two PC Compatible systems complete with MS-DOS(R) and
productivity software and the C64C Test Pilot bundle.
Educators, university students who are working towards a degree, and others
involved in the instructional process, will be eligible for special pricing on
the bundled systems. Significant discounts are also available on individual
CPU's and peripherals when purchased aling with an Amiga CPU or one of the
specially-configured bundles.
Education Purchase Plan order forms have been provided to authorized Commodore
resellers. The forms provided by Commodore are the only acceptable forms for
purchases by individual educators and university students. Emplyment or
attendance information must be verified by a Commodore reseller before it can be
submitted for order processing. Payment must be made by certified check or money
order payable to "Commodore Business Machines, Inc."
Accredited schools, colleges and universities are eligible for similar pricing
on both systems and individual CPU's. School purchase orders should be mad to
"Commodore Business Machines, Inc.," and should reference Commodore's
Institutional Terms and Conditions.
For complete information regarding the program and education pricing contact
your local Commodore reseller.
