Just to nip this in the bud...  The ed. discount includes the
A500P as above, and the A500P/2 which simply includes a second
floppy drive.  The A500C is _not_ an ed. discount option;
rather, it is the 512K/old chipset low-end Amiga 500 model being
sold by Sears, WaldenSoftware and the like  (i.e., the
recipe-holding, checkbook-balancing Nintendo killer meant to
lead the next generation of videophilic children into the Amiga
market for good).  It comes with Textcraft, a Carmen Sandiego
game, and something else also, but does not include AMigavision.
At $499 a good buy...
