What is so frustrating about all of this is that it is still
an UNOFFICIAL policy even though CBM's ad in Academic Computing
stressed that Howard Diamond had pushed through an OFFICIAL
educational discount policy.  The ad even gives an 800 number
to call about ed. discounts.

Whatever CBM decides to do, they should at least tell their
advertising people so that potential customers are not driven
away by  "misstatements."
