Through these students, hundreds of students who would never have dreamt of buying an over-expensive PS/2, buy one instead of a cheap clone. The power these reps have to publicise and push computers on their peers is unbelievable.. and the students they sell to now are the computer market of the 1990s. So, what I'd like to know is: WHERE THE HELL ARE THE AMIGA REPS??!???!?! I know of hundreds of Comp Sci and double-E majors at N.U. who would *love* and highly appreciate the Amiga, for its great graphics, high degree of hack-ability, and especially its multitasking ability. These things just aren't available in their PC and Mac worlds, and if they really knew about the Amiga alternative, they'd jump for it. But there isn't anyone to give them the facts. And being typical college students, they aren't going to see TV commericial because they never watch TV. Commodore is MISSING OUT on the future computer market. They ought to get some student representation out here. Hell, I'd volunteer!! Craig. /// \\\/// \XX/ acm131@eric.ccs.northeastern.edu
