Question: Is there any way to take advantage of the student pricing deal
if there are *no* local dealers in your area? There is one Software Etc.
store within a 300 mile radius of here that sells Amigas. They say they
"are not participating in that deal". Now this store does a HUGE amount
of business, and sells LOTS of machines. Many more could be sold via
the student discounts by people I know that just won't pay the higher 
price. Concerning the Software Etc. chain, is the deal left up to the
local or area store manager's discretion? The Manager of this particular store
is the wife of the local Atari User Group's president... as a side effect,
9 out of 10 employees own ST's or Atari 8 bits. Don't get me wrong, they 
sell lots of Amigas, but they don't exactly go out of their way to do
so if you know what I mean :-)
It all boils down to the question of getting the discount direct from
Commodore or via mail order? Any ideas? Thanks...
