I am about to buy an A500 system under Educational discount and have a
few questions:

1)  I thought that Commodore started charging sales tax because you
now receive the computer directly from the dealer's stock.  My dealer
says No, there still is a waiting period.  Which is right?

2)  I have seen messages here on the net that Ed prices are changing
AGAIN soon.  Frankly I was a bit peeved when I saw prices just WENT UP
two weeks ago (who ever heard of computer prices rising?!).  Have
there been any rumors about the direction of this next price change?
I'd hate to have bought my computer at its few-week-price-height.

3) How useable is the computer with the RF modulator and a TV?  (I'm
thinking of leaving my monitor in my dorm over the summer and taking
only the computer home, using the RF mod. and TV, for those few
months.)

Thanks!
