I wonder if C-A would reconsider the restriction which requires authorized
dealers to also be service centers, at least where selling them through
colleges and universities are concerned.  Many college students pick up
their first computer through these educational discounts and packages 
offered at their campus bookstore or some such.  They often don't really
know what they want, and aren't about to go shopping around to different
retail stores to compare different machines.  At least at our bookstore,
if they could see a comparison between the Macintosh line and the PS/2
lines that they do offer and an Amiga line, I bet the Amiga's would outsell
either of the other two.  All I can do now though, is sigh sadly whenever
I see some neophyte with money to spend 'ooh-ing and ahh-ing' over the 
PS/2 demos they have running...
