Sorry for asking what's probably a stupid question, but....

Would someone please tell me the specific differences between
a normal A500 and an A500P?

I have talked to two authorized dealers in this area, and 
I got the impression that neither really knew what they were
talking about.

For example:

   1.) How much on-board ram does the 500P come with?

   2.) What version of Kickstart is in the currently
       shipped 500P's?

   3.) What do I need in order to use AmigaVision on the
       current 500P's?

   4.) What do I need in order to run AmigaDos 2.0 on the
       500P?

   5.) Finally, what's the latest scoop on educational
       discounts?  I've been told that you must purchase
       an initial "system" package in order to purchase
       individual components.

       I guess this means that if I don't need a monitor,
       then I can't get an educational discount at all.

       Is this true?


Thanks,
-Jim
