No, but I would like to hear from someone who does. > How about that of Amiga? Commodore, has said 230K as of June 30 '87 with an estimated 500K by Dec 30 '87. As recently as last week they said they would have 'no trouble' meeting that number. Note that they are experiencing heavier than expected demand for the 2000 because a lot of 1000 owners seem to be taking advantage of the trade-in policy to upgrade. So that 500K number will include some extra 2000's which are really 2000 + 1000 owners. But since they only got to about 150K 1000s out there it won't be a significant number (maybe 20K?) --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
