Whether or not that's the "average", it IS the baseline.  If you can make
your application run on a 512K one drive Amiga, you'll sell a lot more
copies of it than if it requires more - because while many people DO have
more resources, many do not.  If you require 1M, you're cutting out all
of those 512K guys right from the start - and why do that unless you
absolutely have to?
