Here at Carnegie-Mellon you can get wonderful deals on IBM and Apple stuff (I could have bought a MacPlus or a full IBM PC system for about $1600 each), but Amigas are not to be found anywhere. We're moving to a campus network based on workstations (RT's, uVaxen and Suns), so it really doesn't matter what PC's the computer store carries. A student discount would undercut the deals IBM and Apple are giving, and once people saw the machine they would buy it. C-A, do you see a pattern emerging? Maybe you should look at this wide-open market you've completely ignored until now. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mike Portuesi | | Carnegie-Mellon University Computer Science Department | | | | ARPA: mjp@spice.cs.cmu.edu | | UUCP: {harvard | seismo | ucbvax | decwrl}!spice.cs.cmu.edu!mjp | | | | "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture" | | --Laurie Anderson, "Home of the Brave" | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
