- Small player?! Hardly. They're a billion-plus company. Heck,
- when they're still selling 700,000 64's per year (with absolutely
- no development cost), they can afford to funnel some money into
- the Amiga's R&D effort. Say they are making 50 bucks on a 64,
- that's 35 million dollars in the clear. Then there is their
- successful PC line. And then there is their 500 and 600 series.
- Again, they've already recouped their development cost for all
- these machines.
-
- No, I disagree.
