I'm not sure I understand.  The A2000HD is a CPU, and you can buy a CPU at
a discount at any time during the program's lifetime, can't you?  The March 31
deadline is only for people who want to buy components *without* buying a CPU
as well.  After March 31, if you want to buy components, you need to buy them
along with a CPU.  You can buy a CPU without buying any components, however.

At least, this is the way I and everyone I have talked to has interpreted
the program...am I mistaken?
