Regarding the suggestion to talk to everybody`s computing center
and giving them the new educational prices for CBM, so that students
might actually get to see pricing for computers other than Mac/IBM:
  Well, I tried that here, and prewtty much got ignored. Bookstore said
"We'll see if there's demand for it. We'll call you."
Although, CBM/AMiga did try to work stuff out with Stanford before, and 
Stanford turned them down...I talked to CBM recently about reopening the
issue and got the typical dumb CBM response ("as a student you're not in
a position to make a request.") Said the ball's in Stanford's court.
And Stanford isn't interested in playing...
ANybody else have any success? I might try again later but I'm going to
Berlin next year. Hard to be a campus rep from 10,000 miles away...
