well no, they will sell units, however no one will sell software, and
lets face it thats the problem, it's not building the hardware, it's
getting software: someone to think it is worth the development time,
someone to devote shelf space to it, and someone in china? to spend money
for it.
thats why the toaster was so good for the amiga, there were people who
had spent a few thou on a toaster, who did video who you could sell a
paint package or 3D utility to and get some sales.
I'm wish the amiga was the standard, The OS is far better, but as i sit
here and Type on this pentium 100 I know there will be a software base
for some time to come. I can't say the same for the several amiga's that
sit next to it on my desktop.
