I thought that techies was the one nitch that you have soundly in your
corner. I know usenet is not a "typical" sample, but even in our local
users groups over 70% of the people are "very knowledgable", most of the
stuff on PD disks is very high level stuff (although not necessarily
thourghly done) -- how many BASIC programs are there?  In the B Dalton
books stores I frequent the ROM manuals are in much more demand than the
begining BASIC books.

What does Commodore consider its largest user base, I am curious.

The only other major success is the budding "DESKTOP PRODUCING or VIDEO"
nitch or professional musicians.

Don't get me wrong I wish there were more, but don't forget US! We are
making amigas work in spite of marketing mistakes.
