Summary:Corrections to R Meyers Report on BCS:

Couple of corrections to Randy Meyers report on the Boston Computer Society
meeting where the A2000 and A500 were launched:

This was the North American launch of both machines, despite the A2000 
having been shown several places already. Several 500's WERE on stage
and available to be played with. Most of the presentation concerned the 
2000. Tom Rattigan introduced the machines. Henry Ruben (sp?), Gail
Wellington, and RJ Mical gave technical presentations and demos of
the 2000.

The person who mentioned a 2000 for 1000 trade-in program was NOT from
Commodore - she was Betsy Piper, from Tech Plus, the New England
manufacturer's rep for Commodore. THEY will be offering this program
on their own, not Commodore. It will be up to other area manufacturer's
reps, dealers, or possibly Commodore, to provide that in other areas of 
the country. Betsy and Tech Plus are acting on their own here.

A third-party 68020 board was running in one of the A2000's, I don't
know from whom.
