Computer Listing

I own 3 myself) and in my little town of 14,000, I can name people who still own and use them, but the last Amiga I saw in this town was almost 10 years ago. Mind you, I'm not saying they're not around... I'm saying I don't see/take note of them, because I prefer Color Computers... You have a good suggestion, but I think that instead of just an arbitrary listing of who notices what or what might never be seen in a particular region (Amigas in Sault Ste. Marie, Color Computers in the Ukraine, ad nauseum...) that it should be based on actual production statistics when available. I can give you one bit of information: The Tandy Color Computer line was in production longer than any other 8-bit (and some 16-bit) home computer. Anywho, that's my $0.00000002 (that's all it's worth), FWIW, which ain't much.
