I think Commodore was wrong with the price.  

Back in 1987 when Mac came out with HyperCard, I considered buying a
Mac.  The reason was that I saw the greatness. of hypercard.  Wow!!
Apple actually took one of the goals in the beginning of computer and
(which was to use the computer as a miniture library) and put it on the 
right track .  I thought this was great.  The price was even better, 
50 dollars for something that could make your computer go with a 
limitied amount of effort (Naah !!) no neophyte needs that.  
That is very stupid, that would make it easier to see what the computer 
can do.  Only people who buy paint programs or search the public domain 
or have friends that have some expertise with the Amiga should only be 
able to see what it can do before hand. (naah !! you do no want to make 
a computer easy to learn.)

If I was in Marketing, I would get this software out !!!!!!.  I would get it 
to all the good dealers and then I would sell it for $25 dollars to everyone
else.  Then I would get the people in the amiga community to start experimemting
with this software .  I would get the stacks to the dealers and have them show
it off.  I would also get the magazines to write about it.
