[comp.sys.atari.st] Atari/Amiga Sales Figures

pa1132@sdcc15.ucsd.edu (pa1132) (11/10/88)

It is nice to see someone at Commodore is reading comp.sys.atari.st.
Since Atari is of no help, perhaps people at Commodore can provide
some good approximations on the number of Atari ST's  and Amigas out
there, (worldwide, in Germany and in the U. S. ).  Come on, Commodore,
give us some help.  Perhaps you can accelerate the process of Atari
people to switch to Amiga.

Arrrghh! Just give me one reason to switch to amiga! What do you you want
to do with this nice multi-colored, stereo-sound playing device? The only
thing that you'll get are ill eyes...

A recent article I read in ST-Log suggested that there were about 300,000
Atari ST's in the US. I do not have the other figures you requested.

*FLAME ON*

What kind of an ass are you, trying to start another flame war!? Please,
please, please, Commodore people, keep your "My computer is better than
your computer" opinions in your own newsgroup. Thank you.

*FLAME OFF*
