Sure, video work sells some Amigas. And if you meant the reputation itself
sells some more computers, that may be marginally true.
What I think Ben's saying is that "multimedia" and "video" are not what
_most_ Amiga sales are about. Myself, I'd guess that less than a few
percent of machines are used for those purposes. It's like talking about
using a computer to balance your checking account… very very few people
actually do that 🙂
I do agree with you that it was the 3td parties which made Amiga a video
machine. Heck, CBM didn't even call it "a multimedia computer" in their
press releases until last year.
