Not all (if any) dealers are doing this. Most >>are selling them and keeping the profit! :-( I've seen the Commodore notice to dealers about the A3000/16 + A1950 program, and it specifically states that it is not applicable to A3000's purchased under the Power-Up program. Either this dealer is going to end up asking for payment on the A1950, or out several hundred dollars per deal when the paperwork is settled. I'd be real leery of buying a system from this guy... -- bruce@zuhause.mn.org
