They also carry the 500, part of C='s MS-DOS line, IBM PS/2, Zenith, (these two on the educational pricing structure since this is a school), Packard-Bell clones, and the Apple IIgs. Amiga's are also available through the Army Air Force Exchange Service catalog. I haven't seen any mention of a large federal Amiga buy, although C= did recently announce a marketing agreement for the federal sector with SMS Data Products Group. -- Soapbox: ON. -- IMHO, until there is an Ada compiler for the Amiga, a major portion of the -- federal market will remain closed to it. -- Soapbox: OFF.
