David, I was just just disagreeing with your statement, "…the IBM dominator will not be quite so monsterous." It sounded like you were trying to narrow thw gap between the number of IBM users and Amiga users. I am aware that the sales figures don't translate to actual current users. That's why I brought up in my previous message that 4 million Amigas sold doesn't translate to 4 million Amiga users, especially since, I think that Amiga users are more apt to own more than one Amiga than IBMers are apt to own more than one PC. There may only be 350,000 to 450,000 Amiga users in the whole U.S. So even though PC numbers might be inflated, so are the Amiga numbers, so I don't think the gap has been narrowed. If anything, the gap is even wider in the U.S., since most of the Amiga's sales have been outside the U.S. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–
