Anyway, I figure there are fewer than 200 real people left in the Amiga online community


Gotta be a lot more than that.  Are you counting just the people who use Amigas exclusively, and nothing else?  If so, then I would argue that number would be closer to zero. To most of us, Amigas are a hobby.  Some just take our hobbies more seriously than others, thats all.  There are definately more than 200 people in the world who own and use Amiga computers.  How often lately have you seen threads from "returnees", former Amiga users seeking repurification after a stint in the windoze world?  The minimig thread has, what, like 75,000 reads and 1400 relies?  Amiga hardware is bid up to astronomical prices on ebay all the time, often with dozens of bidders competing.  I'm not suggesting our numbers are huge, or even significant for that matter..  But 200 only?  No way.  I'd say about four or five times that many.
