7 Million figure was from Dr. Kittle (C= Germany) on TeamONE ML years ago which he broke down production by the different Amiga series. I would be completely shocked to learn if there were more then 20,000 active Amiga users world wide and wouldn't be surprised if it was under 10,000 and declining. Had any of the different Amigaoid OSs (and or hardware) made a difference to those former 7M users, the Amiga community today would be on a much different footing with that type of money being spent. So the current AmigaOID OSs are not doing it, the community should be huge by now (after 10+ years) if there was the slightest bit of a chance to attract a small portion of those 7 million former users back to our community.

Interesting. What did you expect though? People to stop using computers completely because Commodore tanked in 1994?
The truth is millions of Amiga users have a PC or Mac and can see it for the inferior design ethos it is and only use it as a means to an end or for work. Doesn't mean 6,990,000 ex Amiga users like those machines at all.
Amiga was an elegant solution in all areas, this is missing today but as walking into PC World only offers you two 'affordable' solutions what are we supposed to do? Not use a computer at all or bid up the last handfull of PPC cards on ebay up to $10,000 :roflmao:
Sadly it is exactly these kind of people C= USA is trying to con into buying their crap pretending they are somehow Amiga
