Even more than supporting COMAL, though, That Education Specialist needs to
know what school administrators are demanding from those who sell them
computers.
A local sales rep talked with me recently about selling Amigas to the schools.
His idea was to get a college student to go over and show the school folk what
a neat computer the Amiga is.
I suggested that he find someone who could show them how to apply for a federal
grant, someone who could take the state approved curriculum and show how the
Amiga could meet the educational objectives better than any other machine,
someone who could write a proposal for the school board, someone who could take
a course of study and show what equipment and software would meet the needs of
that particular set of objectives. He thought I was WAY off the mark.
