As regular readers know, we have a full-blown Education program which grants 
significant discounts on all Amiga products.  If you will send me your postal
address, I will have pricing info sent to you.

To forestall the regular "my dealer told me the Education program is ending"
questions which seem to come up every few months, the Education program has 
just ended its first year, and looks forward to its second with gusto.  We will
be making some changes affective Feb 1, which are designed to enhance and 
improve the program, but the basic concept (ie, significant discounts for all
Educational institutions, and for students, faculty, and staff in higher ed,
and for teachers in K-12) will be continuing. As a new program, we are still 
evolving, but we appreciate all the support we have received, and the tens of 
thousands of people we were able to bring Amigas to in this market in the past
year.
