Here at Caltech, IBM is dumping FREE AT's. Apple is offering very lucrative deals on Mac+'s. To go with all this stuff, the Campus Computing Organization is giving out PC peripherals FREE and the PC people are eating it up like kids in a kid store. (I am writing this on my free PC.) There are also site licenses for many good software packages like Lattice C, Epsilon (emacs), STSC APL, TeX, etc. If Amiga offered the machines at a modest discount, I would buy one. I would like 4096 colors and a 68000. Timothy L. Kay tim@csvax.caltech.edu Department of Computer Science Caltech, 256-80 Pasadena, CA 91125
