Dannie, I hesitate to mention names but are you talking about Mr. Horan's
Computer Lab? I can't believe that he is down on the Ed Discount program.
He was very enthusiastic about it when I talked to him last. And he told
me that CBM *IS* supporting educational discounts on the 3000.
Scott Horan is a teacher and he appreciates the educational discount very
much, at least that's the impression I get from talking to him. Matter of
fact, the story and impressions I get from him are completley opposite of
what you posted here. 

Now if you are talking about that other dealer here in town, well, the story
I got on them is that they are not involved in the educational deals at all,
so I would assume they are not going to talk it up any. Scott Horan has told
me that his store has the exclusive educational contract for this area.
