It's really not so hot for those of us interested in expanding
current systems. I bought my A2000 last July EVEN before they 
had educational pricing and now. I only have 30+ days to
buy the individual components that I need. I'd like a Bridgecard
and '030 card, but cannot afford both. Do I have to buy more
to get what I need later? CBM really needs to rethink this policy
and make components as easily accessible to students now as well
as later. Everyone call and yell at them.
