Commodore Canada does indeed provide discounts to full-time teachers buying
equipment, and better discounts to educational institutions (federal sales
tax exemption in the latter case). They have for several years. This includes
Amiga and peripherals.

I don't know about C= in the US. 

I *do* know that putting the power switch on the 500's power supply is a
very dumb point to an otherwise solid machine. I like the keyboard, and the
documentation is pretty thorough, down to the specs, except for the part where
they explain how "cd \" will take you to the next highest directory level in
the section on CLI usage.
