Well I don't work for Commodore but did buy through the Edu. Deal a couple of months ago. I was told that April 1st the "NEW" Edu. Deal would be in effect. I got mine in the last day of March ;-) Anyhow my dealer told me that very story you told. My dealer said that Comm. is doing this because so many dealers were upset that they were missing out. I don't think your dealer is trying to rip you off - yes you do have to pay local sales tax, but hey you'll get you stuff sooner right? ;-) -- Guy Dandrea, Network Systems Corp. // guy@nsco.network.com #129.191.1.1 \\ // 7600 Boone Ave No, Mpls.
