  I don't understand!?!?  Amiga Vision is being bundled with the purchase
  of an Amiga.  How much lower can you set the price?

  If you buy an A3000 you get AmigaVision.  Gee, that seems like $50 less
  than having to get Hypercard for the Mac.

  What people have been complaining about is that if you already have an
  Amiga then you are looking at spending up to $150.  But look at other
  software that is out there.   I just bought Disney's Animation Studio
  for the same price.  DeluxePaint isn't free.  Look at what it costs to
  get a 3D rendering package.  Or a titling program.  Quality software is
  not cheap!! (At least not in general).
