While it is true that more money is being lost due to Piracy on the PC, it is
also true that more money is being MADE through software sales.. 

And it would seem that the money being lost due to Atari piracy is MUCH MORE
important to those companies than the money lost due to PC piracy.. How many
software houses have STOPPED producing for the ST and are still going for the
PC?? How many gave up the PC to join the 'lucrative' ST market??

You are correct in your statement that in terms of absolute numbers, the
PC market is far worse than the ST market.. 
Your mistake is in the psychotic delusion that this fact has any useful value
whatsoever..

"1000 GM cars blow up spontaneously every year killing the passengers, while
only 5 Ladas blow up every year." 

"REALLY?? I'll Take a Lada!!"

"btw, did I mention that GM puts 10 million cars on the road every year and
Lada puts out 7?"

"No, but since the GM value is SO MUCH MORE in terms of absolute value, I'm
sure I'm better off with a Lada!!"

Here - have a Lada on me!! (or at least label your posts with a subject of
"TOTALLY IGNORANT LIES" so I can KILL them..)
