Followup-To:

Concerning the educational discounts, does anyone know if the packages
can be broken up?  More specifically, I am interested in the 2000HD
package, but I have no use for the AT BridgeBoard.  So far my local
dealer has *zero* information on the discounts.  He does not even know
if they exist (he is not yet a believer in the power of UseNet :-). 

If the package composition is firm, are there any restrictions to selling
the AT BridgeBoard (like back to the dealer, or a third party)?  It
would be too bad (for me at least) if there was no way to unload the
BridgeBoard beast; I cannot afford the 2000HD package as it stands now. 
I estimate that cutting out the silly BridgeBoard would save at least 
$700-$800.

As a side note, I would not be interested in a BridgeBoard even if
someone gave it to me for free.  I have been a proud owner of an Amiga
1000 since 1986, and I have yet to find a need for IBM compatibility. 
To me, the BridgeBoard would only be taking up space in the 2000 that
could be used for better things (such as using the 5.25" drive bay for
my 60 meg hard disk that is currently attached to my A1000).
