	 For what it's worth, at our users group meeting last night (SDAUG)
    we had as a speaker the Commodore reginoal educational program manager.
    He made a statement that Unix on the Amiga will be called (now get this)
    Unix! There is NO AMIX, just UNIX, sv5 release 4.0! 

	Since I am talking about Educational stuff, the educational program
    is very much alive and expanding. He outlined a very generous program
    for the dealers as ALL educational sales will be channelled thru dealers.
    Book stores will be tied to a local dealer for service and support and
    the dealer recieves a percentage of the sale to provide this support.
    The figures were said to be a couple of percent over what Apple gives 
    there dealer fro the same service. He also commented that Apple removes
    the dealers from the loop in the larger schools. They get nothing, but
    end up supporting students anyway. Sounds like CBM is trying at least.

	I propose a new motto for CBM:

	    "No More Cold Dead Fish!"
