If you sell more Amigas, software and/or hardware prices will go 
down.  This should appeal to anyone's logic...  Even if I become a hermit
and could care less what other people own, eventually I may feel like
buying something new that will cost twice what the same thing does
on an IBM (look, no *'s).

However, the big drawback to this theory is that when the number of
machines of a certain type reaches critical mass, that the marketing
types start selling software for $500.  So sell a lot of machines, but
not toooo many.
