Regarding the query on the high cost of upgrading to Imagine from TurboSilver
I don't have Imagine, but I saw the demo at the Turbo Silver Users' Group
meeting at AmiExpo and believe me, you almost wouldn't recognize the
product as having been developed from Silver, the interface is so different.

To illustrate the point, when asked what users should do with Silver once
they get Imagine, the President of the company mimed a frisbee-diskette
ripping out across the audience.  Ergo, toss it.

Imagine is almost a complete rewrite.  The interface is far more smooth and
intuitive.  Feats which were difficult or impossible with Silver are second-
nature to Imagine.
 
I can't recommend it yet, since I don't have it.  But the demo was sufficient
to have me lusting after it.  :)
