Let me add my voice to the chorus of people demanding C-A discounts on
campus.  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.
