- And if people in the states never buy Amigas, there will never be support,
- because there wont be anything to support. Its the old chicken and egg
- problem.
-
- You are doing nothing but ensuring that support never develops here, by
- attempting to dissuade people from buying Amigas. Luckily in Europe,
- people buy Amigas anyway. Luckily, I dont think you are having any
- meaningfull effect here in the states either (much less a beneficial
- effect). The Amiga just faces much stiffer competition here, and a much
- more stuborn and resistant to change market.
