Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 10 Anyone who thinks Amiga software is overpriced obviously does not own an IBM PC or AT! $400 for Lotus 1-2-3? (Retail, I admit, but still...) I own a commodore 64 and a wonderful little spreadsheet I paid $25 retail for at Sears. My wife, who uses Lotus frequently, says this one is just as good for spreadsheet work. Amiga software is running about $100, which is still not as bad as it could be. I guess developers know business users own IBM's and they will pay almost ANYTHING. After pricing a few IBM titles you will feel much better about what you pay for Amigaware. Ever notice there is often no correlation between price and quality?
