Well, at a recent BADGE meeting, Lucasfilms' position was summed up with
an alleged quote: "Rounded to the nearest million, there are zero Amigas
out there." 

Cute as this may be, I believe it is the real answer.  The next question,
of course, is "and when there are more than 0 million (rounded) Amigas?"
I think the answer will be encouraging, especially if we retain an image
of low piracy, the importance of which cannot be overemphasized.

There seem to be lots of people making money on Amiga software, but
it's not clear that anyone is getting rich.
