Not the point I was trying to get at

Actually I was drawing a comparison between the newsgroups of a computer that for all practical purposes was killed 4 years ago and the OS/2 newsgroups. I don't think that you don't hear about the Amiga because of media bias. How many current Amiga users do you see. I have a friend that just stopped using his 3000 within the last year and is happily running Linux on a PPro 200 now. He wonders how he held out so long. There is a definent media bias towards the most popular platform, you have to be able to sell ads. You can't kid yourself though and say that the OS/2 market has many users outside of corporate installations. If 2/3 of the OS/2 licenses sold were to home consumers and they were each purchasing just 100 dollars of software a year I think that you might see a little different market.
