	You are 100% correct.  If that was what happened, I would have no right
complain.  It isn't.  He would have had to stock the excess, full price 3000s
and give away the monitors to the power up types.  Nothing wrong with that, but
that wasn't the case; this dealer was trying to get his distributor to send him
the free monitors with machines bought at the power up price.  That is why
Commodore shut him down.
