What do your friends think about your interest in Amigas?

1) Friends? What are those?

2) They think Im geeky.

3) They envy my technological prowess.

4) They respect my interest but don't understand it.

5) What?? Do you think I would let my friends know that I am still interested in old technology?

Hows that for a poll? :-P  :-D

Here is an example:

Yes! They're so ugly, they're offensive   5%
They are ugly, but they shouldn't be a private part   15%
I don't mind them   41%
No! I love to show my feet!   24%
I have no opinion   15%
Total number responded so far is 2575

"If male,

Controversial maybe, but interesting to see the results.

Yes this could maybe apply to Amigaone but most people want this is for OS4 as there is no other way of running it without classic PPC hardware,  and why people are holding of buying it until the OS shows.

This is not intended as a flame, feel free to do the same survey but with Amigaone, i know personaly what i be buying it for.

--------------------------------
How many of those 5k pegy 2's planned for production  will remain primarily used with MorphOS?

1: The vast majority and it will grow into a widespread used OS

2: 50/50

3: Morph what?

4: 30% and i'm being generous

5: Can it run OS4?

6: I'm not really bothered, i just like the Hardware.
