Our local dealer just told my user group that CBM is now offering 
incredible educational discounts on a lot of Amiga hardware. I
can't remember all the details, so if someone from CBM reads this:
How about posting full details (and any corrections to any mistakes
I make here)

* For $799
Amiga 500, 1 meg of memory
external 3.5 floppy drive
1084 (s?) monitor

* For $1399
Amiga 2000, 1 meg of memory
Standard (XT compatible) Bridgeboard
2  3.5 floppies
1  5.25 floppy
1084 (s?) monitor

There were some other packages announced, including one for the Amiga 2000HD
and 2500/20 and some hardrive for the 500 for $400 (I didn't pay attention to
the brand). I am sorry I didn't get full details last night. 

But maybe someone at CBM can post a complete list? 
The dealer also did not mention how long these discounts were going to last.
To qualify you have to be a teacher or student (full time student, I believe)

I will post a followup article with complete details when I can get them from 
the dealer, unless CBM posts something first.

I think this is a positive step forward for CBM in combating the "infiltration"
of Macs and PC's in our schools. You can't beat those prices with a stick ;-)
