- Isn't Radius out of business? I'd be careful with such statements. In 1991 or
- even 1992 nobody would have thought that C= could go under and it just took
- them another 18 Months to do so!

- I'm a big Amiga fan but even I will admit that the current A1200 and A4000 are
- somewhat outdated given a look at the currently available top level technology.
- However I think AT has done right to give the market Amigas at all even if they
- are outdated. This is what saved the Amiga. Another year without any machines
- would have killed it for sure.
-
- As for this (projected) number of sales i think they are GREAT. I mean if AT
- manages to sale that much of slightly enhanced models (assuming that a totally
- new Amiga is still some 10 months away) and considering that in 1991, when the
- Amiga had it's best year, the total sales where a little more than 1'000'000
- pieces worldwide, they do very good!
