but a nice market of 10,000 or even 100,000 users can be achieved.



Actually those pie-in-the-sky fantasies are what lays at the root of all problems coming from the red side ......


With the "current" (announced) combination of HW and SW each might make 1000 users now and another 1000 with good luck.

Combine the cheapness of AROS-HW with the name of Amiga and the Quality of MorphOS-SW and you might make it to 5000 (over the long haul). Add some real (exclusive) killer-apps and you might make 10000, but the age of killer-apps has long past.

The only way to achieve 100000 or more is if some fool pours in atleast 1 billion $ into a project like Apple's iPad, and then replaces the actual OS with something somewhat more sensible (or in other words, Amino-Clowns again only this time with actual money and an CEO/CTO-IQ above room-temparature (meassured in Celcius) ).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
