Well. Hmm. All of this "they should do this" and "they should've done that" gets a bit old after the umpteenth time around, doesn't it? :-) However, several managers at CBM do read these groups, and I'd bet that some of the prevailing views, at least, have gotten their attention. So. How about a "they did THIS right" thread, so they'll know those too? I'll start: The FedEx and home repair programs. They help to alleviate owners' worries about far away repair centers, and they're also a good business practice. And they show some concern for CBM customers. Others? (it'd also be nice if people didn't flame what others think is a "right" thing, but .... ) cheers - kev <kdarling@catt.ncsu.edu>

I think C= has done more things right in the past year and a half or so than they have ever done before: Educational Discounts - YES!!!! (I know at least 4 people who bought systems under ed. discounts that wouldn't have bought Amigas otherwise.) Power-Up Program - GREAT!!! What other C= offers you a deal like this? A3000, A3000-UX series. WB 2.0 (I know its not out yet for machines besides the A300 but it will be a big plus once it is.) In short, sure C= has some problems but I've seen more improvememnt recently than I have in a long time. - Chris

Get something in on the ground floor and you'll get the others in via association once they learn what it can do.
