So much for the 'cheap hardware will bring the masses' crowd.
It appears there's a lot more than cheap entry into ones decision in choosing an alternative OS.
Well, I think it's quite unrealistic to think that "the masses" would come unless OS is free and runs on x86 and even then it's quite unrealistic to think that they'd stay long enough to start loving the Amiga OS as we do

But what's left from high end Amiga users "masses" it's very attractive for them and I guess it's succeeded on that area... 61-63% of the registered systems are Mac hw now. I'd think total amount and activity would be much smaller without these cheap options.
