	To clear this up (maybe:-) here's my point of view.  We are an Amiga Dealer that
has also been participating in the Education Transition Program (which has recently ended),
and we _have_ Amiga 3000UX's available for sale to normal customers.  We _do not_ have
any information on Educational Pricing for the 3000UX, yet. (Probably my fault for not
calling and checking). 

	The configuration that we are ordering is the 9MB system, with Ethernet card and
200MB HD.  Based on our cost and normal discount, we estimate the retail sales price to be
$6995 (Definatly my fault for not calling and checking :-).  This system is coming with 
a BETA version of the operating system and manuals, but there is a free (except for freight
and handling) upgrade offer to 1.0 (or the non-BETA release).
