	I am SO GLAD that EVERYBODY AND HIS MOTHER is posting the COMPLETE
Educational Discount price list SO MANY TIMES!!  Here's the latest update
to that list, freshly posted on CompuBixLink by Harold Copperman himself!
What a guy!!

Components			Retail/Lost		Individual & Mental
				Price			Institution Price
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A3000 CPU			$7,999			$1,595
A4000 CPU			$100,904.26		$1.98 + tax
A2011 881K 3.6" floppy		$986			$14
A3010 20Mb Floptical drive	$23,498			$0.23
A2650 68050 accelerator		$234,986,679,394	$32.99 (C.O.D. only)
      with 256Mb 128-bit RAM
      & artificial intelligence
      co-processor and kitchen
      sink module
A2690 Cray-on-a-stick		$234,991,656,472,434	$160
A3232 multi-parallel card	$985			$100,000

A2486 Bridgeboard running OS/2	$508,000		$2
      version 1.4 simultaneously
      with ULTRIX and the
      "Letterman" show

Unfortunately, the literature accompanying these prices states that you
CANNOT buy individual components unless you are over 9 feet tall and have
a pet tree shrew.  Oh, that F*CKING CBM!!  THEY *NEVER* CARE ABOUT THEIR
CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!!!  WHY DIDN'T THEY LET US UPGRADE OUR A1000's TO THE LATEST
ALL-DIGITAL 68040-BASED TREE SHREWS?!?!?  WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

                                                        Dan
