Sigh.  First, I don't actually own a dealership, I just work in one.  I had
thought that the fact that I mentioned the contents of the CBM Power Up mailing
to dealers might indicate that I worked at a dealer, but I guess someone felt
the need to point it out again.  I assume the fact that I work part time on a
non-comission basis means that I'm a disgusting capitalist pig.  Please. 
Everything I've told you is true.  It became frustrating to us when our
customers would call us up, tell us about Plato, and accuse us of stealing from
them, because of the psuedo-information you posted, and because of Plato's
attempt to scam their distributor.  Listen, if anyone wants more information, I
have it.  The dealer's never got the free monitor with the power up.  There was
no consipracy on the part of every dealer in the country except for Plato to
screw the customer.  I find it ironic that to some, they look like heros
because they tried to sell a ton of Amiga's in violation of contract at the
expense of those who played by the rules (and didn't break the law.)

If you have any more questions, e-mail me.
