Opus Pro costs approximately $250, while the programs in second and third place cost $2,600 and $1,200, respectively. However, since program grades and prices have no connection whatsoever, purchasers must decide if the price is prohibitory or not. Therefore, these grades are merely means of comparison among packages and do not reflect the actual performance of each multimedia tool. Statistics Up to this point, all the data have been presented: data based on market research and an informal grading system. The data were introduced in order to extract information from the variety of existing packages; the grading system was a way to categorize packages in a more general manner. Pie charts can also clarify the data as well as make an effort to connect the data to a possible educational use of the programs. As shown in Figure 3, Adequacy of image formats, more than 50% of the tools examined have been categorized as more than adequate. In other words, most of the programs support a total of, on average, seven or more image formats. Of course, this can be a good thing. However, it is natural to think: “What do I need so many images for?” Is seven perhaps unnecessary? Does it make the authoring procedure more complex? The answer is, of course, ambiguous. Nevertheless, if one were to consider the issue from the viewpoint of a high-school teacher, one would realize that it is far simpler if a program accepts any kind of image. On the other hand, if there is a different kind of controller for every kind of image, then things get more difficult and less universal. And universality is a desirable characteristic, since it leads to simplicity. 155
