I bought (ordered, it would appear) my A3000 on the Power Up plan Saturday, May 4. The dealer said it should be in Monday or Tuesday. On Wednesday, the dealer said that CBM was backordering A3000s because of the Power Up program. Is this happening anywhere else in the states, or is my dealer getting the shaft from CBM? I guess it's a good thing, since more 3000s mean more software for 2.0 on the 3000 (one would think). -- J.

Our local dealer is about 30 minutes away from CBM's West Chester HQ, and says the same thing. He's got a few machines left in stock, but he says that from talking to CBM, it seems as if the back orders are really starting to pile up... -- Gibberish May the Publications Editor, AmigaNetwork is spoken fork() be Amiga Student On-Campus Consultant, U of D here. with you.

They too told me that they can get it next day, but I guess thats change now because they tried to sell me the 25mhz model. They said they had a couple of people with vic20 manuals trade up,so I would tend to guess that the program is working for commodore. Another Good thing is that commodor will probley extend the offer, after all they are backordered means the demand is high :) That give me more time to scrape up some more funds and sell my 2000. -J.D-
