I see, you define "importance" as how a product has directly influenced Commodore's sales figures. I've heard guesses that NewTek moved roughly a thousand Toasters a month on a regular basis, and since CBM was shipping XXX numbers of 2000/3000/4000s, we can somehow say that the Toaster wasn't influential if the ratio is small. I don't think it's that clear-cut. I think Amiga dealers would give a different answer… iif it wasn't for the videots who continued to buy other software packages at a regular rate, I think a lot of them would have dropped the Amiga products a long time ago. Is there more profit selling GVP accelerators or $20 games? So can you think of other products or companies that you'd rank as "important"?
