	Yes, this makes sense.
	Here in Trinity in the service Labs there is a plague of Macs. Mostly
512s and Pluses. Awful, but that's the only exposure to a computer most Arts
Majors here get (theses, graphs etc), so the notion of Mac=Best is indelibly 
imprinted.

	What Commodore needs to do is donate huge numbers of obsolete units to
achieve the same 'esteem' as Apple is an average students mind. Proximity breeds
familiarity. One A500 sitting beside a row of Mac+s (or Classics) will blow it
away impression wise.
