According to Sam Tramiel in a recent issue of STart magazine, there are
almost 1.5 million worldwide, and almost 200,000 in the U.S.  I don't
know how close "almost" means, but this is what he reported.

Beyond just the raw numbers, however, you'll want to consider what seg-
ment of the potential market is going to be interested in your product.
This is almost never close to 100%, usually much, much less.
