Does anyone know of any published (or unpublished) reports, either from
Commodore or independent, on the market segments that Amiga is being used
in, and what the rough numbers are in each segment.

The basic information I am after is, how many Amigas are in use, or
projected to be in use, in a business climate, that would be an available
market for a Project Manager program (a la SuperProject on the IBM).

I have heard it said, though not by anyone with any authority, that
we are approaching a million Amigas of all flavors in distribution.
But it is my impression that probably at least half of those are in
use in artistic type applications (music, video, graphics, or animation).
I suspect a large percentage of the balance are in use in the home.
Also, what is the percentage of overseas vs. domestic sales?

These kinds of numbers are fairly easy to come by for PC's, but I
don't know where to turn to get them for the Amiga.  Any pointers
would be appreciated.
