Don't count on it this for a long time. For every Amiga, there are 30 to 
40 PC's out there, many of which are owned by businesses with money for 
things like software. Which market would you write for if you wanted to 
make lots of money?

Commodore would have to sell a heck of a lot more than 100000 Amigas for 
Bill to even think about getting into the Amiga market.
