There are two schools of thought on this: one branch says about 16,000 and
another says less than 6,000 - bearing in mind that Petro has been quoted
saying numbers greater than 12,000 and especially since that was AFTER they
all managed to sell out worldwide on release (mainly down to not making
enough to fulfill preorders properly ;) I tend to beleive the higher number.
There was a silly rumour that if they hit 20,000 copies they'd make an OS3.6,
which was complete bullshit. Especially as people were whining about it WELL
after Amino had bought Amiga's assets - Gateway practically absorbed the
cost of OS3.5 and then sold the Amiga. Nobody lost any money, H&P definitely
didn't come off worse for it..
