Don, You know I was aware that the Amiga sold well in Europe, but I didn't know that the percentage was as high as 80% of the Amigas are in Europe. So with 4 million Amigas, and with 20% in America, that makes 800,000 Amigas in America, as you stated. Now take into account the number of people with more than one Amiga and the Amigas that are no longer being used, and that means there are less than 800,000 Amiga users in America. That is a pretty low number. I remember in 1988 it was said that 1 million sales of a computer was the magic number that would get the top software companies to take notice. There are now 4 million Amiga sales, but not in America. Do you think that the Amiga will get more software support from big name developers when sales of the Amiga in just America reach 1 million? Let me know how you like WordPerfect for Windows. Maybe it will surprise you. I hope so. Dom Fontana <– Sent from New York via AutoPilot –>
