Perhaps they made as many as 50 in the first batch? And now another 50?
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

I know there  are more than your wild estimation, because I know more than 51 people who bought SAM.


Could you list them here?

Any other wild, irrelevant, unbiased, non informative sentences you have to add to the thread


Sorry if I upset you, I'm just trying to be a bit realistic here. Maybe 50+50 is an understatement, maybe 200 would be more realistic, I don't know, but if so it would be interesting if you or anyone else could enlighten me with some *realistic* assumptions instead of just vomiting all over the place? I haven't seen *anything* in online forums that suggests "thousands" as you said before. If only a minor part of the users would acknowledge themselves in online forums (which was more true a few years ago than now IMHO), then I would say that less than 100 is a reasonable assumption. And you have to take into account that the price is so high that most people would hesitate even if the hardware hadn't been so underpowered. I don't think it's as easy to sell as you want to believe. "Thousands" today is all Amiga users combined, which includes all the classic flavors (the majority), emulators, MorphOS, AROS, and the whole shebang.

MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)
