With things settling down now in West Chester, some facts are coming to the surface re educational pricing. There is now a March price list. This is a final, formal, freaking finished price list. You no longer need to go through a lengthy procedure to buy on the program. You go to the dealer, show them your school ID or some such proof, fill out a simple form, and pay the dealer via whatever methods they accept, which include credit cards. The dealer will then deliver to you out of stock, right then and there. No wait. You may buy any product, even without purchasing a CPU. The only restriction is that only one unit of each type may be bought per year. The pricing mentioned in previous postings was accurate, except I believe one person made a mistake on the 2500/25-50 price, which is $2,547. The Unix pricing is improved. The A3000UX-B is $4,0xx and the A3000UX-D is $5,1xx. I don't remember the dollars, but the thousands and hundreds are what's important. 8) As to CDTV info: IT WILL BE ANNOUNCED, RELEASED, SHIPPED AND SOLD AT WORLD OF AMIGA NYC. That is official. It will be $995. The A500 Unit is not finished though. It will be available via educational discount starting in May. For institutions interested in buying multiple CDTVs or PC Laptops, these are the sales offices: Eastern Regional Sales: 703 709-0200 FAX: 703 709-0208 Central Regional Sales: 708 619-5959 FAX: 708 619-9383 Western Regional Sales: 213 498-9455 FAX: 213 597-0737 The best way to get info is to send them a fax requesting pricing in writing. Multiple means more than 1, not 100 or 1000 or some such. -- Ethan Upon leaving office, Ronald Reagan began renting an office in the penthouse of the Fox Plaza, the Los Angeles high-rise used as the location for the terrorist movie "Die Hard".
