Re: Amiga community Size

Looking at those stats, and the article views on amiga.org and amigaworld.net - the OS4 pre-release CD annoucement got around 7000 views combined - the first OS4 screenshots attracted 50000 unique visitors, sales of AmigaOne and Pegasos combined must be around 2000, and there must be countless numbers of people still using old Amigas who are not visibly active, or have a PPC upgraded Amiga and will upgrade to OS4.  None of these figures are particulary accurate or indicative, and the only important community size figure is probably the installed OS4 userbase (which is currently 0, sans beta-testers).  If I had to guess real community size, I would say 10000.  If I had to guess installed OS4 userbase just after OS4 final release, then probably 3000.  These are my opinions, nobody else's  ;-)

Incidentally, this graph (on the right) may be of interest, it shows web-interest in the Amiga peaking in 1999, and tailing off ever since (now hovering at ~10% of that peak).  One of those links shows a search category for AmigaOS 5.0  :-)
