I'd agree with your group's conclusions. What I meant by "reasonable"
pricing was pricing that reflects the level of power and usefulness of a
product. I didn't mean to imply "cheap". I think the Amiga needs a better
balance of software, especially medium to high-end. I also think that
people who demand high-power software should be willing to pay more for it.
If someone wants/needs cheap software, then I'd recommend that they check
out shareware products. There are lots of nice shareware applications that
fit the bill for someone on a limited budget. Those who need professional
level power and support should have to pay for it.
If Amiga users won't recognize the fact that developers need to be paid
well for their efforts, we'll lose more of them to the MS-DOS/Mac markets
and our machine will die. Developers who stick by the Amiga deserve our
support.
