$30k a year. Nothing. Hell, it'd be worth AT subsidising companies like this
until sales pick up. Considering the cost of TV/Magazine ads, $50k to 
proven supporters of the platform who develop the most impressive s/w for
the machine with be money well spent - losing any more big name apps is not
going help us at all. On the other hand, once they start dishing out money
to developers, everyone will want some, all the time. Hmmm. Maybe some sort
of deal could be worked out, so that AT subsidise certain developers
expenses, and in return get a small percentage of the sales revenue? The
companies stay in business, the Amy gets some impressive s/w support and
AT has a more attractive product to sell. And another potential source of
income. 

I haven't thought this through at all, I've just typed the idea as it 
dribbled out of my brain so its all a bit muddled, but anyway, what does
everyone else think?
