I think you are referring to McEwen's famous "we have 3000 developers" claim. This was based on the fact that he'd sold 3000 copies of his AmigaDE developer CD. Unfortunately (for him), based on the non-output of his 3000 developers, it seems that most people that bought it were ordinary users or people after a money-off voucher for an AmigaOne.
Well, I don't know about any of the others, but I had every intention (no pun intended, honest) of learning to develop stuff - but there was little/no documentation
readily available for the casual, inexperienced "bedroom" coder... so my copy is still sitting in it's box, all but unused. *sigh*
