Just remember that neither of these monitors will sync down to anything less than about 30kHz, so they are both unsuitable for attaching directly to an A1200 or A4000 unless you have a hardware flicker fixer or graphics card of some sort. Up before someone else does. Buying the Amiga was the easy bit, though: having the clout to exploit it afterwards was the tricky part of the equation. I hope youive been paying attention, Vlscorp. What's that saying - those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them... Some amazing statistics: every month this year, Amiga full-price software sales have had over 40% of the market. On the budget front, Amiga's market share has never dipped below 30%. Every month. Admittedly this is on sales of floppy-based product, and does not Include CD, but doesn't that make a nonsense of all the anecdotal “evidence” that certain people throw up to support the assertion that “Amiga software doesn't sell anymore”? The truly amazing part of all this Is the split between 500 600 and 1200 though. What would you think it was? Well I'll tell you: on full-price, 500 600 outsold 1200 titles by a ratio of 7:1. On budget the split was a staggering 30:1. What does this mean? That 1200 owners just don’t buy much, and the people putting their hands in their pockets are those who have Inherited old machines? If any of you are beavering away on a masterpiece which you hope to sell on a commercial basis, perhaps you should reconsider your original idea of making It AGA only - the really successful Amiga titles In recent years (SWOS, Worms, Cannon Fodder) have all been accessible to all users. Makes you think a bit, doesn't It? It wasn't that long ago that every mention of Amiga's exowner Escom was preceded by the word “ambitious”, as In “Ambitious PC manufacturer and retailer Escom recently announced...” Judging by what we've been hearing lately though, the press will be substituting “struggling” or “troubled” for “ambitious” when they are collating news stories on the German giant.
