I think I get it now.  The answer comes down to "We want more hardware
and software from third party vendors", the obvious implication being
many people are not using their Amigas for the reasons they originally
bought it for, thus their purchase is not 'legitimate' yet.

Sounds good to me.  I guess I have all the Amiga hw and sw I
want/need, so I'm happy with the current state of affairs.

I still think Amigaoids are looking at other PC markets and judging
the Amiga by the size of the other markets, saying "we should try to
become as big as they are, so we can legitimize our Amiga purchases."

Regardless of which, I wish there were a separate place for lamenting
the small Amiga market (wrt the larger Apple and IBM markets) so those
of us happy with our systems could concentrate on positive pursuits.
