	I think this is far too little, maybe a higher (say $20 ?) price
	with a package deal (all 4 for $50 ?) would be better (for you :-).

	Distribution of upgrades via modem is great FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS....
	How would users w/o USENET access find out about new upgrades?
	Maybe a mailing of some sort? I dunno ......

	Mailing update disks would be the best, but that would require
	some sort of annual fee ......

	I dunno about the rest of you, but I would (if I can ever get
	financing for my new Amiga :-) certainly purchase all 4 programs,
	they are a big part of what makes the Amiga so great.....
