- He's not misinformed. I've been a Newtek dealer for a long time and
- they continuely do things to make life difficult for dealers to sell
- and support the product. I called recently to find out about if our
- dealership ( Washington Professional Systems ) could still buy
- Lightwave 3D for Alpha for our customers, who would rather purchase
- from us, and was told that, because of the Deskstation deal, Newtek
- could sell us Lightwave 3D for Alpha but only at the list price of
- $1995.00. So much for dealers selling Lightwave 3D for DEC Alpha.
