Yep, at its peak the Amiga was very successful in Australia, with sales reaching 1 million units just as it started to decline. Unfortunately as mentioned already the a500 accounted for probably 95% of sales, and the Amiga was predominantely considered to basically be a console whos games you could copy easily. By the time AGA was released things were already done and dusted, and I remember seeing new a1200's and cd32's being cleared at big discounts more than a few times. There mustve been a small handful of australian amigans who stuck with it though, as while Ive not seen an Aussie amigan in real life for many years we do appears to turn up pretty regularly on the net.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
