@umisef

I don't think the number of people interested is in the 4-figure range. When we had a poll on AW.net about who uses what hardware there were only around 200 people claiming to own an AmigaOne. If total AmigaOne sales are in the lower end of the 4-figure range, that means less than 1/5th of the AmigaOne owners have actually been visiting AW.net. I think that if affordable hardware would be available that is powerful at the same time (good value for money), then with a steady supply, in the first year it'd sell in the lower end of the 4-digit range. A building market, steadily growing userbase means developers see a future in the platform and become more active. The number of developers who think it's worth developing for the platform would increase as well. It means a growing number of software, which attracts more users.

I agree that without some key software available (Firefox and others) the platform won't be attractive for people outside the remaining (ever shrinking) Amiga camp, however I think that we'd have that by now if it wasn't for the rather depressing hardware situation. Developers need something to look forward to to motivate them.

@umisef

I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying, but what are your conclusions? it sounds like you're saying that we are all wasting our time and we might as well just use Windows/Mac/whatever?

@umisef

I mean this make so much sense and 100% true that if somehow you managed to negate this with a better argument you should truly become either a lawyer or a politician.
