(Note that I've crossposted this all over and followups are to marketplace. I hate being net.cop but this same discussion is being spread out over three newsgroups so no one ends up seeing everything. ) In article <27c9a3ed.2cf8@petunia.CalPoly.EDU> nschultz@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (Ned W Schultz) writes: > >However...I find it puzzling and annoying that this is the 25th of Feb >and we have yet to see an official posting about the pricing that may >have taken effect on Feb 1st.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES TO THE FEB 1 PRICE LIST THAT WAS POSTED A FEW WEEKS AGO. The new list is in effect. This has not changed. Paul Calkin has not sent the world into confusion, just some misinformed salesperson at some dealership. Everything that was said before, including but not limited to: 1) No CPU/monitor bundles (except for the 500). they are purchased separately 2) Anyone can purchase peripherals, even without a CPU. 3) The new pricing 4) Paying of taxes Are all true. >So, Paul Calkin, if you are not the person who should do this, could you >please ask around and find the person who can? I think we all could >sell some Amigas for you if we knew the facts... > Paul Calkin will never read this (I don't think at least), and neither will any of the other educational folks. They do not take time out to read usenet. You have to realize that most people don't read netnews at work on their spare time. I'd rather see them working, personally. Everything has been posted. >Ned Schultz >nschultz@polyslo.calpoly.edu -- Ethan Q: What's the definition of a Quayle? A: Two right wings and no backbone.
