I've been arguing this point for years.....

Not just locally. A/V Video Magazine did a survey about 6 months ago as
to which computer production houses were using. The Amiga came out way
ahead, with 45%. As a result, you will see at least one Amiga related
article in each month's publication, sometimes more. There are usually ads
for Amiga software and hardware as well. 

So it's not nearly as bleak as some would like you to believe.
