I think I agree that AmigaVision needs a lower price, for the reasons given
in comparison with HyperCard.  The notion of perceived value based on price
is undercut by the argument that followed, viz. that the _real_ value of
the product will be determined by the applications it's used to create.  It
seems logical that, with a lower buy-in price, there'll be a lot more peo-
ple getting and using it and a consequent greater number of high quality
applications, along with more people having the opportunity to _see_ those
applications.
$25 sounds great to me.  I'd get it, sight unseen.
