However....I'll believe that when I see it. What the Amiga market, does have, is demonstrable market demand for a desktop solution in a kind of hobbyist, cult market. If they cannot capitalize on that natural market (and so far they have not)...then I question whether they can capitalize on any market, especially the markets they say they are going after, which are much more competitive than our little cult sphere.
I think it's possible, but not likely. There are niche markets that the Amiga (and like) could supply to, but the tools needed for those markets don't exist and judging the way our community is heading, we never will. Unlike this community, most users need a computer that can meet a minimal standard. We don't meet that standard.
One example that could be capitalized on are the people out there who don't feel safe using a Microsoft based system, but at the same time don't/won't use linux. You could play on those fears to sell them a system, but the applications these people want (at a bare minimum) don't exist. (A lot of people I know wouldn't touch a system that didn't have an up to date browser or an office solution that could work with MS Office documents.)
If the fragmentation in the community could be minimalised and the talented people we have band together, the void of applications could be bridged. I doubt this will happen though.
