    But sells surprisingly well, IMHO :) I think daily sales (I think majority of these numbers are actually sales) for anything Amiga related is a good achievement, and it's been steadily like that all the years.

    Ah okay. Sorry for misreading. I thought you meant "sure" as "sure we can".

    I don't really want to argue this topic, because I don't care how many exact users we have, but, I do believe that if the MorphOS Dev. Team wanted to know (maybe they already do this), they could keep a database of individual registered users, and list which compatible computers they have registered. The only inaccuracies that I can think of happening from this imagined database would be from MorphOS computers that stop working, or stop being used to run MorphOS, and the owners fail to ask for a replacement registration for another compatible computer, and for the few registered MorphOS computers that are sold to different users, who do not request that the name on the registration be changed, but continue to run MorphOS on such systems.

    Over all, I think the MorphOS Dev. Team could, or already does, know approximately how many MorphOS users there are, if they care to know.

    here is a statement from geit about the value of the counter:

    That statement from geit confirms that the number the community is using to track the number of MorphOS registrations, has little to do with the actual number of active MorphOS computers in use, or the number of actual MorphOS users, but it does not confirm or deny that the MorphOS Dev. Team uses any other means to keep track of how many users there are, or which users are using which hardware.

    As I said, I no longer care to know exactly how many MorphOS users there are in our community (though, out of curiosity, of course I would like to know the number). My last message was just to point out that the MorphOS Dev. Team "Could" know the number of users, "IF" they wanted to track that number, using the method I described, or some other method, and that such method would be fairly accurate. Most, or maybe ALL MorphOS Dev. Team members, probably don't care to know exactly how many MorphOS users there are, but they might know a pretty good estimated number, if any of them have discussed the topic, with, or without even trying to track such number.

    Hi!

    After years of lurking (few years ago I've even had MacMini from polish initiative "Wypozyczanka/wedrowniczek" and wrote blog post about that) I've finally decided to buy appropriate hardware and system ;)
    Hopefully it won't take another 5 years to download SDK and write some software...

    Use RegTool with your new data on the already registered machine.

    I assume you want the date from the email he received that contains the registration number, not the actual date he sent his request for registration with the reg tool from running on MorphOS. Is that correct?

    My son is a new user with a new Registration on his Mac Mini, just last month. I'm a long time user on my PegII but will be adding a Mac Mini Registration within the next few weeks, so at least they gained one :-)

    Hi,
    I think I'm 4061 - at least that's the number in the URL I was directed to for payment...

    First time MorphOS user with a G5 dual 2.0GHz. I used to be an active AmigaOS (heavily expanded A1200) user until around 2001, when I bought my first PC specifically to run Amithlon and got distracted by Linux/BeOS/Haiku ever since until now :-)
