Here at my school, if a person goes to the computer center and asks about
educational discounts, he or she receives a copy of the IBM and APPLE price
lists, because those are the companies that have official Penn State
discounts.

High placed inside sources at Commodore 8-) say that it is difficult to
negotiate such deals with every school they'd like to, so that is why
many schools don't "advertise" the Commodore discount program.  OK.

HOWEVER, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I sent a copy of this recently posted current price list to the director
of our computer center, and asked him nicely if he could please make
copies of it and distribute it to people who come in and ask for educational
price lists.  He said, "OK."

It seems to me that lots of us could do the same thing.  Take the price list
to your computer center director, and see if you can convince him or her
to make it available, mention it in newsletters, etc.

Can't hurt, can it?
