}Yes! Yes!  Commodore, get your act together.  The largest groups of Amiga
}owners I have seen have been college students.  Get an educational discount
}system going(go for the high schools as well).  It would do more for the
}Amiga than anything else I know.

	This would be a fantastic idea!  Commodore, you are losing
lots of prospective student buyers to Apple, here at Hopkins.  The
current offer is something like $1695 for a Mac Plus with Imagewriter II
printer (can you say "below dealer cost"?)  This semester, there have been
at least 2-3 visits from Apple representatives, showing off their
products.
	If Commodore was doing this with the Amiga, I'd buy one today.
