I will be buying an A3000 soon with the trade up offer and I was wondering what monitor I should purchase. Will the 1950 be able to handle future resolutions, graphics chips, etc.? Does anyone out there have a monitor of choice?(cost)? Also, how much is the 1950 with Edu. discount? I was told by a dealer that I couldn't buy _just_ the monitor under the educational discount (he said I would also have to purchase CPU under edu. prices). Is this true? Thanks in advance :-) Kevin st101883@brownvm

Either you asked your dealer before it changed, or he doesn't know about it. With the change in the program, you have to pay sales tax, but you get the merchandise right then and there from the dealer's stock. The last Ed. Price I saw for an A1950 was about $500. This will ultimately be up to your dealer, though. >Kevin >st101883@brownvm Wayne Rigby Computer and Systems Engineer (in training) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute metahawk@rpi.edu

Ask the dealer to check with Commodore, and if they refuse to do that in a prompt manner, after asking for the manager and bitching your heart away, leave. -- Ethan "Brain! Brain! What is Brain?"
