Every now and then a fumbling idiot will waste bandwidth, just like I am now, by inaccurately flaming the pricing policies of one author or another. Not that criticizing someone else's offer is out of order, but that furthermore, such criticizm is disinformative nonesense. Commodore's special deal of $1850 is for a 16Mhz A3000, without any monitor. Valentin -- "An operating system without virtual memory Name: Valentin Pepelea is an operating system without virtue."

Maybe from your dealer: But mine is selling the 16MHZ A3000 WITH 1950 for $1849.00 (sorry, I did have $1895.00, but I was wrong, the prick is actually less). Would you like his number?

Would you like his number? Thanks, Mike... Rule #1 of sales: If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably not good and not true. Giving you a monitor that sells for a minimum of $520 plus a computer for the price of the computer alone sounds too good to be true. I would be happy to bet you a few bucks that you can't actually get the monitor and the computer for $1849. By the way, did you mean "prick" as a slur on your dealer, or did you simply misspell "price?" Dan Zerkle zerkle@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu (916) 754-0240 Amiga... Because life is too short for boring computers.

Because life is too short for boring computers. Well Now It's too late to get the free monitor but it was true A3000 + 1950 for $1849 ! It seems that the dealer in question found a loophole in C='s special deals. C= was allowing any dealer ordering an A3000/16/50 to get a free 1950, and we all know about the $1500 off an A3000 with the Power Up discount. The dealer merely put both together, ie. ordered lots of 16Mhz 3000's with the free monitor and then sold them at the Power Up discount price. These guys saw fit to give the monitors away because they didn't have to pay for them -- not many dealers out there will do you such favours. Anyhow, C= found out about them combining the offers and gave them a slap !! They did, to my certain knowledge manage to get (and sell) fifteen (15) A3000's with the free monitor for $1849 before C= put a stop to it. PS: I'm in England, and I found all this out by calling them from here !! Hope That Sorts It All Out Cheers Ian alias igreenaw@hemel.bull.co.uk
