Pegasos sales restarting : Comment 99 of 156 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 30-Jan-2004 14:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 82 (takemehomegrandma): "This last product is perhaps what you are looking for, Don Cox? But as I said, there are needs on certain market segments that one can make money from, other than those who allways wants desktop products with the "highest numbers" possible. Nothing is cut in stone, lots of products and areas of usage can be found, but you have to use some imagination."
You are missing my point.
If somebody decides to buy a computer, they will in almost every case go to a shop that sells computers. Do they find Macs there? Highly unlikely. Do they find Amigas? Definitely not.
If consumer-minded, the person will buy a few magazines first to help them choose. Is the Mac mentioned in any of those? Highly unlikely, or if it is, only to be dismissed as a curiosity. Are the Amiga or the Pegasos mentioned? Never.
What could possibly make this person think of buying a Pegasos? He or she just wants a computer. The only reason somebody might buy some obscure model from a tiny company, such as an Acorn/RiscOS computer, would be if it was spectacularly better than an ordinary computer. Not just a bit better, but so much better that there could be no doubt.
Now, get away from retail consumer sales and look at industrial markets that might use a CHRP board with Linux. Now you have a completely different situation, and there is some hope of getting sales. |
