This will be offered to members of Amiga User Groups in conjunction
with their Amiga 500 purchase  (although I have
to believe we will see it opened up to just about anyone).

I agree with Bob Page - this will not encourage people to develop
software for the Amiga. The prices are such that it would be
hard not to buy one or the other package, even if one doesn't
want everything in it, and that will close a good portion
of the market for competitors of these products.
