Someone figure this out for me:

On the education discount program, if you buy an A3000 (or any Amiga),
you get the AmigaVision authoring system.

The documentation (README-type files) comes with default tool set up
called "less" (less is more than more).

Less, when run on an A3000, crashes instantly.

Therefore, the "less" program is not compatible.

Commodore produces AmigaVision.

Commodore produces the A3000.

AmigaVision and the A3000 are packaged together.

Therefore, Commodore is selling two incompatible products together,
both of which they made.

There is no error in my logic, yet the last statement is obviously a
contradiction.  Which one of my assumptions is false?

Or did Commodore just screw up?   Naw.......

On the other hand, the A3000 comes with a hard drive, so it is
possible to copy those files over, and change the default tool.
