[amibroker] Re: ANNOUNCEMENT - PowerScan Beta 1.21 available

Your idea of $40 seems like a reasonable price. 

In the past I have recommended AB to several people, some of whom I 
see making posts here. Others have told me, learning to code in AFL 
is a very, very challenging. 

I think there will be a significant place for your product. For many 
it may be all they will every need. For others it will help them 
learn how to construct AFL for themselves. Either way it will be a 
big help.
