more than once in the past people have suggested that c-a needs to offer discounts to educational institutions and/or students/faculty. i was just reading comp.graphics, where i noticed: /* Written 10:03 am Jun 10, 1987 by hedley@cbmvax.cbm.UUCP in uxc.cso.uiuc.edu:comp.graphics */ In article <173@mv06.ecf.toronto.edu> drascic@ecf.UUCP writes: >I want to overlay the graphics output of a computer onto a video image >of the real world, to implement a cursor... > David Drascic UUCP: drascic@ecf.toronto.edu OR drascic@utecfb [amiga commercial deleted] If indeed this is for the university, we have a discount program for such originizations.

Commodore Canada does indeed provide discounts to full-time teachers buying equipment, and better discounts to educational institutions (federal sales tax exemption in the latter case). They have for several years. This includes Amiga and peripherals. I don't know about C= in the US. I *do* know that putting the power switch on the 500's power supply is a very dumb point to an otherwise solid machine. I like the keyboard, and the documentation is pretty thorough, down to the specs, except for the part where they explain how "cd \" will take you to the next highest directory level in the section on CLI usage.
