Nope. The only reason why PCs are so dominant is cos of marketing. Years and
years of it brainwashing everybody.

Even if was on the shelves I doubt it would be a big seller, it would need
marketing aggressively, but even so it would still take a long time for the
marketing to sink in.

Only if people know about it, appreciate what it would mean for them, and
only then if there was any software to use on it. IMO, Amiga needs to start
off small, try to move into a few key market sectors - the music side for
example, and hopefully graphics too, and then try to use this as leverage
into main stream. This way they can concentrate resources and achieve
something rather than spreading themselves too thinly and getting no-where.
