Would be nice if the included High School students in their ed. plan don't you think? Also, I am getting a GVP 030 card with 4megs., do you know how my 2000 will compare speed wise w/ the 3000?

If you get the a card with the same speed, I would immagine it should compare closely. The only disadvantages you will experience will be the lack of the 32-bit architecture(sp?) and the new co-processors. Yes, it would be nice for them to include high school students in the educational plan.

My dealer said that they're about 6 weeks on backorder and you can order one *now* and have it in your hands in about 6 weeks. He also said something that suggested that there are two queues for servicing the orders: 25% of the machines go to educational orders, and the rest to the rest. — John

If that is true I am going to be one very unhappy camper!

Michael, My dealer said that CBM intended to fill educational orders first, so you may get your wish that "students get theirs first". Karl

I think Commodore should put everything they say into writing and send it th to the dealers. So many different answers! I hope you're right…

I sometimes wonder if many dealers ever read their mail. CBM does put all this stuff in writing. We get several packets of mail from CBM every week announcing the latest info. Greg Greg White / MicroSearch 72230,1617 We listen to our customers..carefully
