Actually, C= offered the Power-Up program in Canada from March until 17 May.
Don't worry, I never heard about it either until I read the ad for the
American Power-Up in AmigaWorld.  I went to my dealer on 15 May and got
a major run around, but eventually they sold me an A3000 under the Power-Up
prices.  Great advertising on the part of C= Canada, eh?  What's worse,
while Compucentre assured me up and down that I could trade in my A2000,
my local dealer was adamant that only C64s and C128s could be traded in.

Oh well, hope you can get a machine in the states...
