 Hey, alright! if any of you remember my previous posting, I kinda flamed CBM
 for shutting out the current users. I had many replies, and not one flame
 back on me. The concensus was "We agree!"
 I must now take the bandwith to praise CBM on this turnaround (even if it is
 valid for only one month). That may give me (and others like me) time to
 grab some of that good stuff. thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU! COMMODORE!!
 The students I've talked with at K-State all gasped in disbelief when I showed
 them my price sheet (even the IBaMess student rep. in my Software Engineering
 group!) They agreed it was a bum deal for current users. Wait 'till I tell
 them about this kind of support! This can only improve your image, CBM.

 I would say that you are right about that! I know it is the best news I've
 heard since reading about the discounts the first time. I also said in my
 previous posting that the machine was great, and the company was coming along,
 too. Well, the company is along, I'd say!
