I can't believe your data. Remember the big sales push of Christmas 1989
( it wasn't that long ago). It was widely stated here and else where that 
one of the goals was to get sales up to the magic figure of 1 million. 
I remember somebody saying (possibly Gail Wellington) at AmiExpo-DC, March
1990, that this goal was NOT reached but they were very close.

---Mike,

P. S. Either way they need to sell more.
