And you only need THREE Megs (recommended) to use it! Isn't that great?

Does anyone else think that Amigavision looks like a HOG? Ok raise your
hands, how many of you have 3 megs or more? one, two, three, .....
Hmm I only see about 10-15% of Amiga users having that much memory. 

WHY WHY WHY??? CanDo seems to do almost as much as AmigaVision and it works
just fine with 1 Meg. How well does AmigaVision work with just 1 meg?

Not that I really care that a program uses that much memory, especially
if it has lots of features, but I was under the impression that the
reason AmigaVision was developed was to give Amiga Owners a simple and
easy to use programming environment. something that would become a standard
and every Amiga owner would have and could use, Like HyperCard is on the
Apple. But I doubt that that many Amiga owners will have 3 Megs of memory
or more any time in the near future. 



And I wish it had a compile mode, so you could make stand alone programs
that anyone could run, and not have to have AmigaVision to run it. CanDo
can do that, also.
