Guesses on amount of people related to amiga.(this includes all ages and all countries)

IIRC there were at least 1.000.000 amigas sold in Greece when Amiga was at its peak!

What??? I come from Greece too, but I don't remember 1 out of 10 people owning an Amiga.... I wanted to sell my CPC and buy an A500 but she was a bit expensive until '92. I got mine (2nd hand) in '93 and I was one of the few (>45) people in my hometown (Veroia) owning one. One million machines in a country of ten million is a bit of a high estimate, isn't it? Are you sure you didn't mean 100.000?

Oh, and Veroia doesn't have the same income/person as full of tourists cities like Rodos or Athens

@Animagic
What do you mean, exactly? That we people in Veroia are, way too poor to own an Amiga?!? I was into computers and most of my childhood friends too. It's just that only one or two of them had Amigas.
No offence intended, but your argument regarding the income is purely pathetic! You are telling me that a labour or general worker has a better life in Athens than in Veroia? With a rent around 80% higher? Which are the Rhodites you are reffering to? The owners of hotels and big restaurants? Well, people with such big bucks, can have a high income/person kind of life anyway. The rest will starve wherever they live.
Regarding your 8 Amigas I have one question  to ask you --> how many of them did you get before '96 and how many afterwards? At around '98 you could buy amigas (1200's) for nothing (just because none wanted them).

I don't mean to start a personal war with you, it's just that I don't like being PATRONIZED!

BTW most of these "free stations" in Greece are not licenced, and therefore, illegal.

Well Animagic, the problem is, Kronos doesn't live in Greece does he? So he can safely express his impression of Greece being a uncivilized place with no electricity, filled with goats and cows. I get this bullcrap all day here in the UK. I expected better from you, being a Greek though. My main problem is with the line "Oh, and Veroia doesn't have the same income/person as full of tourists cities like Rodos or Athens".

Regarding tv stations, I can assure you there are dozens of tv station still operating illegaly throughout Greece. These stations go up and down every ten days or so.

I don't want to make it a "Veroia vs Rodos" thing, I consider myself way too mature to start such a stupid thing.
I just felt insulted by your comment regarding the ability of a person living in Veroia on buying an Amiga back in the late 80's/early 90's. You cannot deny that most of the people in Greece were considering (wrongly) the Amiga to be an expensive games machine, rather a top-notch multimedia computer. This is why the pc's were selling better. This is why, back in the early 90's most of the people I knew, went for an IBM-XT or AT. Even if you look at the computer magazines of that time, there were the gaming-computer magazines ("Pixel" , "User" - covering all platforms but maily the Amiga) and the serious magazines ("PC Master", "RAM", "Computer gia olous" - covering more serious aspects of computing and aimed strictly at PC users).
