You see, there's just a slim chance that I will be in the position to buy one of these beauties about the time they're due out (according to popular rumor) depending on the future status of this potential contract, and I want to know if I'll be able to buy it on the student plan; if so, I will begin checking out the forms as soon as possible. Hey, Commodore! You could just say something like "At this time, any hypothetical new releases will/will not fall under the Educational discount plan, if they exist; however, we can neither confirm nor deny..." Well, it was worth a try. But I don't want to have to end up buying something obsolete like the 2500/30... (it was a JOKE! Just a JOKE!) . <<<>>> -- _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | Someday, I'm going to make up a clever .sig file like everyone else has... | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
