I just have to add a few questions to this.  I saw someone state that WP was
to expensive for the Amiga market, I have to disagree, I have seen it as low
as $140 mail order and the average is probably $160-180.  They also said they
havent sold enough to recoup the costs, I heard they covered there expences 4
days after hitting the market.  Sales may be dropping now, but I bet they
arent as high as they used to be in the Mac or IBM Market.
