IBM shipped 1.25 million PS/2s, not to mention all the clones. According to AmigaMail, the millionth Amiga shipped about a year and a half ago. Yes, there are a lot of STs out there (enough to keep us all afloat), but they ain't exactly taking over the world. Oh, well. The geniuses are often in the minority until the slower masses catch up. --Jim Sisul The University of Kansas (#1 at least until tommorrow morning. #$%##@#!!!@!*&!@ Mizzou!!)

In a Mag last year ST user (I think) They said the following had been sold: About 300,000 In the UK (Mix of machines 520's being common) About 300,000 In France (As the UK. for types sold) And 500,000+ In Germany (Most at least 1040 lots of megas sold) Over a million in 3 countries is not bad if the above are corect and this was at least 5 months ago.

We had newspaper ads from Atari last June stating that 1.2 million ST's had been sold. Cum grano salis ... --- * Via ProDoor 3.2aR
