Details of Ed. Deals

Gayle –
From the way that I understand the Educational Offer, after March 31st a
student can still purchase just a CPU without getting one of the bundle
deals. But he will not be able to purchase just inividual components.
That is to say – The CPU's and The Bundles are available as an
Educational purchases until (I think) June 15th, and if purchasing an
inividual CPU then he/she/it can still pick and choose any of the
components that are being offered. What one can not do after March 31st is
purchase just the components without a CPU. So one can get an A500 and
A1084 only. Or an A2000 and just a monitor.
That's the way I read the press release and I have confirmed that with a
couple of my dealer friends.

Roy,
Is the 2500/030 also still available until June 15th? Did Commodore
publish the educational discount in any of the magazines?
Thank you for your information! I had also understood that
individual components could not be bought after March 31st but was not
worried about that because we were interested in one of the package deals.
However, I was not aware of the June deadline!

Perfessor –
I am not real clear on this June date – it is just somethin' I heard.
Before I did hear that it was my understandin' that there was NO deadline
on the Educational Bundles and CPU's. Maybe this is somthin' you should
ask Dave w/ CBM online relations – Maybe Dave will step in here and fill us
all in. 🙂
I have really not seen anything in print (Mag or CBM releases) that
mention an experation date on the Ed. Discounts, besides the indv.
components purchases.

Roy,
I haven't seen any other date either for the bundles, just the
components. Getting $4K before June 1990 would probably mean no Amiga
system for a little longer than we had planned. Of course, if I wait long
enough, I could probably pick it up for $20 at a flea market like I did a
couple of other things. (How long did Methusala live?)
Thanks for the information!

Having read the info. sheet, this is the impression I got. You may
only buy on the discount without buying a computer until March 31. The
discount lasts until June 31 for anyone who also buys a computer. You can
mix and match until June, as long as you buy a computer. After June 31,
commodore will review the program and decide whether or not to continue it.

Ethan,
Thanks for the information. The local sources here in the Rocket
City are somewhat confused.
