Sure, but when will they remember that a *LARGE* part of their user base
lives in Europe ??? I haven't seen any upgrade plan or educational
discount here 8^( And no, it's not all a500 users with two floppies
and one meg here, there ARE users who are considering to buy or
allready bought an a3000. Give them a chance to upgrade too...
(anyone from commodore listening ???)

BTW, Apple is currently blowing everyone away with at HUGE
advertising campaign over here. They have ads on radio and tv,
demonstrations on campus etc... I try to stop as many users
as possible from buying Apple (converting them to Amiga off course)
but I would like a bit more support from Commodore.
