  Yes, they have just announced such an offer, and not only for those who
bought Amigas, but also VIC 20 and C64/C128 machines as well.

  Having 5 years to pay off a $1300 product doesn't sound all that onerous.
But in any event, the new program is a simple discount which doesn't require
you to give back your computer or even your keyboard.  And you end up with
an A3000 rather than the A2000 like last year's offer.
