The $79 price will cause it to be viewed as a ?toy?.
Clarisworks/Appleworks (pre version 6 when Apple blew it) had the same problem. It was actually a very powerful suite, but nobody bothered with it because it was ?just a toy that kids use in school?.
People didn?t even know that it had a presentation feature (slide show from the word processing function). It had page layout via multipage draw documents which put anything that Word could do to shame. The database, sort of Filemaker light, was superb. The spreadsheet allowed you to create one with only the number of rows and columns necessary and had all necessary functions
Again, it was viewed as toy, all because of price.
