I've sold my share of Amigas by personally demoing them at home, but it is really hard to get that many folks into my place on a regular basis.<G> Unless collared by an Amiga user, they follow blindly along. Even then I've had some that thought the Amiga was really nice, but bought IBM anyway, because it was a "standard". BTW: Did you sell everyone you had over? If ESCOM gets serious about making a new Amiga, I might try to "convert" some of those folks. Otherwise I could not in good concience ask somebody to buy an Amiga. There isn't enough current support for the Amiga to ask somebody to invest in an Amiga, if there isn't going to be a hope for increased support. For those of us that already have Amigas, and already have software etc., there isn't much risk in upgrading. But to make all that initial investment in the computer, and then buy into the software, I'd sure want to have some indication that there were going to be more Amigas in the future.
