Easy way:

1. Have the product ready for Christmas
2. Market it as the latest family entertainment gadget
3. Profit

Hard way:
1. Have the product constantly delayed and accompanied with competing vapourware products.
2. Fail to even have a full featured web browser. Ignore what the market is asking for. Be generally mediocre in opposition to the old era of being a budget high end system.
3. Don't profit and then blame... software piracy, a recession, chicken or the egg.

Okay its a little simplistic, but feel free to expand. It could also apply to any company that treats a market with passing interest and just assumes people will continue to swallow whatever they're given.

A little simplistic?  That could be the understatement of the month.

Find something productive to do for the Amiga community (or better yet, with your family), instead of wasting your time on useless forum threads.

Learn to program (if you don't already know how) and write some new app. or game for one or all of the Amiga OSes, or find another way to contribute to a project.

Not meant to be a personal attack, just a suggestion on how to better use your time and energy.:)
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
