CMU is about to install a computerised bulletin system (actually, another one).
It will involve having lots of monitors in the student union giving info about
events etc. The way these things usually happen here is that a big
blue or big stripy company gives the university the equipment therfore
enabling that company to sell lots and lots of computers in the future.
Anyway, C-A might like to 
contemplate the effect of having amigas entering the daily lives of (and doing
wiz bang things in front of) the inhabitants of one of the nations (in fact 
one of the the world's) foremost suppliers of hacker dweebs (and computer
scientists).

It is also time (I don't want to nag, I'm getting a 2000 anyway...) to start 
putting discounted amigas in university computer stores (before people are 
silly enough to buy MACIIs etc).

Is there some problem with the 2000, both companies I have been trying to buy 
one from said that they had been put on hold by commodore? One implied that 
some bug in the h/w had been found to cause this delay.

Please, Please will some one write a superset of macdraw for the amiga. I am 
forced to use these disgusting machines (please wait half an hour while I look 
to see if the laserwriter is free...) Specifically, I need a draw program which has filled objects and postscript font support.

not much to ask, really.
