IMHO, half the problem with the scene is the fact people are more inclined to believe that some miraculous new piece of Amiga gear or software will pop out of the woodwork and suddenly Microsoft and Apple will be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Should be more thankful we have such a healthy and varied selection of offerings for a platform that technically hasn't been made since the 90's in its original incarnation.  A lot of the other niche platforms aren't so lucky, and the Amiga was never an 80% market share platform even at the pinnacle of its success, which was in the mid 90's.

The fact that we're even into the 4 digit numbers sales wise on the NG systems is still a bit astounding to me in this modern age of people viewing computers as not so much a hobby, but as appliances or a utility device.
