Well, up here in Canada, at least, I have seen at least one Commodore
push to put Amiga 500's in educational institutions.  Their deal up here
goes something like this...

Buy 2 Amiga500 systems (Amiga 500 and 1084 Monitor) and get one
Amiga500 system FREE.  Cost (Canadian) $2990 for the lot.
The purchasing institution is also exempt from Federal Sales Tax.
Offer expires (in a couple of months... I think).

This, from the sounds of it, is a pretty good deal since a typical 
Amiga 500 system is $1599 at a local store...  I sure hope UVic
tries to take advantage of this deal!  I could sure use something
better than this cruddy old IBM-PC in my office....

Just thought I'd let you all know....
