In regards to the average youth of our members, please keep in mind a couple of facts;

1) Most were born in the 80s
2) In the mid 90's as most of our users were reaching puberty, most of their parents (former Amigans) were giving up their Amigas and buying PC's.  Which would you rather give a 10 year old?  A brand new, $2000 machine, or an antiquated, non-standard machine that you'd already paid for which could entertain the kids and allow them to write letters to grandma and play music mods for free?


Hey, I'm 23 (born in late -79) and I've been an Amiga user since -87. My first Amiga was an A1000 that required to boot the Kickstart from floppy disk. However, it wasn't my first computer though, that was an amazing VIC-20 where I managed to create my very first BASIC program. Are we beeing a little prejudiced here, Wayne?
