Yeah, I have to agree here. Bundling all that good software can only help.
It causes potential buyers to regard the Amiga as a more 'serious' machine.

So what about the guy who was gonna write a paint program but gave up
because 'everybodty has Dpaint' ?  So improve on it dummy ! Make it
do things Dpaint doesnt do. Make a Dpaint for HAM and EHB modes. Handle
24 bit color in software, and display in any old mode you feel like, but
print true color. If you want to get fancy you could sequence images through
(Liquid Lights' for example) a film recoder and get outstanding images.

Even if a program has only a couple of features Dpaint or whatever doesnt
have, people will still buy it, because if you are serious about graphic
arts, you want ALL the tools you can get. I prefer Dpaint, but I really like
the color handling in Images.

As Bill Volk and Keith Doyle pointed out at the big user group meeting at
SIGGRAPH, If you are serious about video, you will want to get ALL the programs
you have seen here tonight.

There is room for everyone.
