I will probably become a regular user when I get an MCC-216 and/or Chameleon.
I hope to get Amiga Forever 2010/2011.
I keep daydreaming of turning the A3000 schematics into a board.

I'm both a "Lurker" AND "Other" kinda guy! ;)
 
Once I get back from deployment, that should hopefully change!

I dont regularly use anything Amiga these days, but that changes all the time almost like the seasons in this country :-). I do think that there are a lot more people out there that uses a classic Amiga or UAE then people in here think, more or less everyone i know that uses this stuff still dont use any form of online C= forums and thus, people dont see this majority of users at all.

I said that way back last year and got shot down by the usual suspects that I was wrong and that most folk still using an Amiga today would indeed be on these forums... :)

I agree with you there ARE more folk out their still using Amiga's who either don't bother with these forums (or even know they exist) and the ones that do are actually the minority... :)

Heck just corresponding with numerous folk selling Amiga stuff on eBAY & YouTube has shown me that most of them NEVER use these forums or have even heard of them... :)

I know that makes these polls on here kinda pointless in trying to gather figures that are even close to being accurate but they're still interesting nonetheless... :)

I have an A1200 I don't use.  I have a PowerMac G4 with MorphOS on it that I don't use.  I have a MicroA1 with AmigaOS 4.1 on it that I loaned to another developer.  I suppose lurker describes me even though I have some technical knowledge about Amiga and I sometimes use EUAE on my Intel Mac Mini.

I use my Amigas nearly everyday. Mostly I use the Amiga 1200 and Amiga 2000, but I tend to fire up my CD32 now and then aswell.

Oh, and my "new" Amiga 4000 is up and running as a server with Envoy too :)

I just love the classic Amiga. It's so much OS-joy that I can't get enough..

:D

I'd say I'm an Amiga lurker too.  I still read the websites and join in from time to time, and go to an Amiga usergroup meeting every month but I don't think I've turned either of my A4000s on since January.  

I go through phases of using my Amigas or C64s for a while before they go back in the cupboard to collect dust.

Aren't you still actively developing Amiga, or Amiga-Like software SamuraiCrow?

It would surprise me if you did not qualify as an "Active Amiga User".  I thought you were always writing some kind of code that was Amiga related.  Is work on Matthais still progressing, or has it stalled?

I guess even some of the oldest (not age, but length of Amiga user status) Amiga users take breaks from using some kind of Amiga experience from time to time.

I wonder how many "Active Amiga Users" there are in the world that never visit this site?  I just can't imagine someone who uses an Amiga (of any kind) regularly that does not get on the Internet and visit Amiga forum sites at least once in a while, be it this site or another one.  If they are really that active in using an Amiga (of any kind), I would think that they also would be active in visiting at least one or more Amiga related forum sites.

I know many Amiga users who rarely (if ever) visit forum sites. Not so many like to speak in foreign language.

I still use a classic Amiga. I have working A1000 and A2000 computers. I also use amikit on my Windows machine and may start using MorphOS on a powermac soon too. I use the old classic machines the most however.

But aren't there Amiga forum sites in their native language that they could visit?

I would think that they would visit at least one Amiga related forum site, even if only to read it through a web page translation tool, like Google, or something else.

I use AmiKit with WinUAE set up as A4000ish.  I really enjoy running demos, and just basically surfing the net - I like netsurf 2.7 better than either aweb or ibrowse even with the quarks netsurf 2.7 has. And btw, I have amiKit set up using OS3.9 (BB 1&2). When I am not making videos for YouTube and catching up with biz there or watching something on Hulu or revision 3 I have amikit fired up - at least 2-3hrs a day.

Active "Amiga-Like" User, because I use my PPC system every day.

I do not power up my A2000HD often enough to qualify for the poll.

I use my Amiga everyday.
I listen to mods on it and watch a lot of demos.
As well as messing around in Workbench.

I would not like to be without my Amiga!
