I called DEC about this and after ony 5 days, someone called me back and then messed up his phone and hung up on me. I should've asked the net *first*. Does the $2000 trade-in allowance given by DEC when you trade in a VAXstation 2000 on a VAXstation 3100 apply at educational institutions? Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu

(The color tube alone has got to be worth more than 2K bucks) I am so happy to have a new X terminal, Daniel Poirot nasa@attctc.dallas.tx.us Lockheed C87 phone 713/483-2426 2400 Nasa Rd. 1 phax 713/483-6120 Houston, TX 77536 "A mind is a terrible thing."

According to the the writeup in a DECdirect flyer: The workstation trade-in may be used with the Digital Business Agreement; however other programs do not apply... in other words; only your DECperson knows for sure. 8-) -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

In a "Dec internal" flyer that I saw, the "MicroMOVE-VUP" program gives tradein quotes for "end users, resellers, and government customers". For what that's worth... I would say it's worth a try. But then I have never dealt in these affairs myself. -- John Dudeck "You want to read the code closely..." jdudeck@Polyslo.CalPoly.Edu -- C.
