***************************************************************

 I need info on Amiga HyperThingy Products.  If you have used
AmigaVision, CanDo, Thinker, or any other hyperText/Card/Thingy
for the Amiga, please let me know what you think of them by
email, & I'll post a synopsis.

 Things I'm looking for:

o User can move graphical objects on a screen by dragging
  them with the mouse, and application can find out where
  they have been dragged to.
o Application can be programmed to read & write text files.
o Application can be programmed to write text to the printer.
o Buttons and other graphical objects can be imported from
  DPaint II (as brushes?)
o Hyperthingy has random number generator (for games)
o Speach, Sound (synthetic & digitized)
o Cost effectiveness (those of us who bought an Amiga in '86
  do not get AmigaVision for free :-( )
o Interface to 'C'
o Product lifetime, ie. has CBM destroyed CanDo and Thinker
  by releasing AmigaVision?

Thanks,
