	I feel that I must also voice my agreement with the letter.  I am attempting
to creatively finance the purchase of and A2500/30.  I DO have the funds, but I do 
NOT think that I will be able to get them all together before 3/31 (Thanks to the
IRS for not getting my refund back to me promptly!!!!).  I have to sell my old A2000,
AT&T PC6300 (sold, but UPS F**KED up and I am waiting for them to settle damages, which
could take weeks!!), and wait for my IRS check.  So, even though I will have the $$ 
sometime before June, I cannot afford to get the A2500/30/PC (an additional $900!)
but the PURE A2500/30 IS ***NOT*** CONSIDERED A BUNDLE!!  Why did Commodore treat this
FANTASTIC machine as a ***COMPONENT***???  If it were a bundle, I would have until June
and there would be NO problem.  

Come on Commodore!! The educational discount was a brilliant idea (do it again next Fall/
Spring :*)) and the "component" deal was even better.  PLEASE, PLEASE extend the component
deal until June!!!!

P.S. I usually do NOT send my postings to the entire world (costs the net too much), but in 
this instance, I was motivated enough to do so.  And I AM NOT ALONE.
