Simple math – you got 4,000,000 computers, at 50% theft rate leaves 2,000,000 potential market to deal with. Maybe 2% buy the software. That's 40,000 sales. Now, with the Amiga, you got 600,000 computers. A 50% theft rate leaves 300,000 potential buyers. Maybe 2% buy the software. That's 6,000 sales.
