  I am disgruntled with C='s treatment of the Australian Tertiary
Institutions. I am very interested in purchasing a 3000 from the US.
However, I am hung up on several details :

			1) Cost of the ACTUAL computer (25/40, no monitor)
			2) Cost of SHIPPING
			3) Will I need NTSC->PAL conversion?
			4) Safety of the US postal system (or courier)
			5) Who do I trust to place the order?

  If anyone would be kind enough (dealers or their reps included) to answer
me directly by email, I would very much appreciate it. And if anyone  from
C= in the US can tell me why C= Australia is so HOPELESS, then please let
me in on the secret. By comparison, comparing C= US to C= Australia is like
comparing a Porsche to a Volkswagen; One goes quick when and where you want
to, the other breaks down and isn't much help at all.

  I look forward to all replies. Thank you.
