amiga.topcool.de interviewed the Vice-President of Amiga, Petro Tyschtschenko in german. He told us for example that 12800 AmigaOS3.5 were sold. My quick summary in English can be found below.
AmigaOS 3.5 sales are diminishing since January 2000. Overall, 12.800 copies have been sold. Right now, about 400-600 copies are sold each month. But I [PT] never planned anything different. It was supposed to be a sign from Amiga to the community, to make the time until Jim Collas' new product seem shorter.
On 14.1, Markus Grohmann started working for Amiga in Braunschweig as complementary logistics manager [if that's the right expression]. Petro also has a new assistant, Barbara Nietzsche.
There are about 20.000 Amiga users in Germany, although that number is decreasing fast. All over the world, there are 80-100.000 users. Only new products and innovations can keep the current users and make new ones.
[..] The investors behind Amiga are prepared to invest a lot of money. [..]
Petro's family life is running on low priority. Most user meetings are on weekends. Since 19th February, Petro has a visitor from India, his main distributor in New Delhi is in Langen (Germany) right now. He has many sales projects and is travelling a lot. Nevertheless, he still has a lot of fun. [..]
So far for my quick translation. I'm sure somebody will post a better version some place, but at least this one shouldn't have most of the nonsense your typical Babelfish translation has
