I called asking about the program and was told that the powerup discount
could not be used in conjuction with the educational discount.  I also asked
about the A3000T, but the operator had never even heard of the A3000T :-(
and had no information to offer.  (Shucks, would have liked to pick up
one o' these with this sort of discount.)  I don't remember the current
educational discount prices, but the operator told me that these powerup
discounts beat even the educational discounts.
