You may be in for a small disappointment.  I ordered an A3000 through the
educational plan; it should be here in about a week.  However, the dealer
I went through told me that the educational deal was over on June 30, 1990
(I just barely made it).  I don't know if that applies to the A3000 only,
or all Amiga computers.

In the event that it is false, a hoax, or an error, I got my form signed
by the registrar at U.C. Irvine.  They have a nice form letter with a UC
stamp and signature.  I don't know how long the processing takes.  On the
school side, 10 minutes tops.  My dealer said things looked good and in the
interest of time, ordered me one without checking everything in with C=.
She DID say that the UC letter was official enough.

As far as delays go, I keep hearing that only the 25MHz version is shipping,
the 16MHz will ship, but not right now.  I don't really know when.

I hope this helps (and is correct!)
