Summary: yes!  yes!   here too at crowded-with-40,000-students-UW!


agreed in spades.  our microcomputer outlet does a very nice business,
thank you, and they're selling apples and ibms.  even if the prices were
not super-sacrifice low, think of the volume you could build, commodore!
think of the PR!  the loyalty!  it's a whole new distributional channel
already in place, staffed with knowledgable people (here at least), and all
you have to do is provide machines and a little support.  

i'd love to see such a program, not simply because i'm cheap, but because
the amiga needs proselityzing (sp?  help, i need an engineer!) and the
universities are great places to do it.

not to mention a bit of prestige in the marketplace.  i'll bet there are
quite a few university outlet that sell apple and IBM...and i'd like to see
that pair become a trio.
