When you say the market share collapsed to 2.2% from 7.5, I assume you mean market share per machines shipped this quarter? I've seen a lot of analysis reports on the European market, and the Amiga has a higher installed base (barely) than PCs. Another interesting statistic to look for is unit sales vs. revenue. Amiga products typically don't rake in the same kind of profit that PC products do, but they were selling them in droves. I wouldn't be surprised to see this quarter's product shipment collapse in the face of Commodore's inventory problem. -Rusty Williams

"When you say the market share collapsed to 2.2% from 7.5, I assume you mean market share per machines shipped this quarter?" I don't say "collaspsed": the words are a direct quote from The Wall Street Journal Europe and Dataquest study. And indeed it is for the first quarter of this year. Jerry
