When you crash your Pee Cee and you expect that flashing red box.

When you watch 80's movies and look for Amiga computers!
Saw one in the Gods Must Be Crazy II last night! A2k w/ 1084!
-
...you refuse to let a PeeCee in your house AND have only recently contemplated getting one to run AROS :-)
-
When you show up to your A+ cerification course (http://courses.blackhawk.edu/ProgramSelect.aspx) wearing an Amiga ballcap/T-shirt combo, with a PDA w/ PALMUAE and a thumbdrive with a complete WinUAE installation. (Plus, do all your homework in AmigaWriter, hence the WinUAE install.. Only thing that can print that without reformatting the whole thing manually)
-
When you can't disambiguate the X86/X64 hardware platform from a "Windows Pee Cee" and you think that a 68000 machine from 25 years ago still cuts the mustard as a main system for everything you need to do :)
-
When you are ready to pay huge amounts for "obsolete" hardware :).
-
I answered yes to all the above, does that make me bad?

When you own more Amiga systems than pairs of socks.

You've considered naming your kids Gary, Agnus, Denise or Paula. :lol:

You google "amiga" on a regular basis

You fantasize often about funding a warehouse filled with never before used Amiga equipment.
-
You have several folders in your bookmarks containing Amiga-related links, and have had for quite some time.

...you begin typing a path in Windows's command prompt with Work:.
Having said that, I often start typing a path with C:\ by accident when using the Amiga... =(
-
When you carry several different host OS versions of UAE on a pen drive complete with a working copy of your OS3.0, 3.1, 3.5, 3.9 and Work partitions as hardfiles on it.
How's that for Amiga Anywhere?
-

You log out?

-When, after years of using PeeCees, you still click the upper-left corner of the window to close it.
-When you find it irritating that common Amiga shortcuts don't work on PeeCees (Shift-Backspace and Shift-Delete especially)
-When you balk at spending $40 for a new PeeCee PSU, yet you don't hesitate to spend many times more than that for even a minor Amiga item
-When you dust or clean your Amigas at least once a day, but you can't remember if you ever dusted your PeeCee...

*sigh* count me in then :D
-
You buy an X1000 :-D
-
When you visit this site everyday.
When you lose sleep wondering what the phone company did with all their 68030s (they used heaps at the interchanges.)
Once dreamt about an Amiga 5000 and an Amiga 800.
Your house looks like a computer museum.
Worry a burglar might steal your yellowed A500 and leave your $1200 laptop.
Sell drugs to pay for your 'habit'
-
When your (night-time) dreams involve Amiga-related stuff!
My subconscious keeps making up different types of Amiga hardware. I googled for an A1036 accelerator card for an A500+ a couple of weeks ago, just checking... :)
The odd thing is, I don't think much about Amiga any more, and I know a hell of a lot more about PCs than Amigas (and my work involves the former unsurprisingly), and yet I get a load more Amiga-related dreams than anything PC-ish.
-
When your new laptop arrives with no floppy drive and the only thing that goes though your mind are the worrds "Guru Meditation" !
-
You long to see the Lamer Exterminator virus !
:laughing:
-
You know you're obsessed with Amiga when..
When you shed a little tear of happyness when you heard about the new Amiga.
-
when you read through all these posts.... and come back to read more... :)
-
After a countless history "FAKE" product announcements and vaporware you still come back.
-
You google "amiga" on a regular basis
Actually, I'm getting that way about V-Bombers - particularly the Vulcan...
first post on Aorg in MONTHS ! :-D
-
... your nice expensive mobile phone has the Kickstart screen on it as a background
-
Like the Motorola A1200?
-
Actually I don't like Moto A1200, because it makes it difficult to search for Ami videos on youtube. But otherwise, yes, a fine name indeed :)
-
This morning I had the first Amiga-related dream that I can remember....
I was working at some sort of supermarket or store, there were several cardboard boxes full of candy way up on a shelf. A customer asked for some of this candy, but the boxes were so high up, that I had to use a broom handle to knock the candy out of the boxes. I figured I might as well get all the candy out, and put it somewhere sensible. When I start knocking out the candy from the last box, the only thing that came out were Amiga games... LOL! I remember finding Sim City + Terrain Editor, and Sub-Terrania (was that even released for the Amiga? )
I woke up expecting to see Amiga game disks littering the floor.... Wow, I need help ....
:roflmao:
-
When you bring your Amigas into the bed with you....
-
... you have a mobo made by ECS in your PeeCee.
-
Actually, I'm getting that way about V-Bombers - particularly the Vulcan...
first post on Aorg in MONTHS ! :-D
Off topic, but I threw a few quid into the XH558 fund... Not heard anything back though :(
-
You make stupid posts on Amiga forums, just to check if there is another as lunatic as you!
-
you turn your work Pc off,the same way you turn your Amiga off by pushing the power button
-
When you have 50+ Gigs of Amiga stuff on your HDD, have an A1200 sitting beside your PC playing chiptunes, have UAE for Android on your cellphone, PSPUAE on your PSP, streaming Shoutcast Amiga retro music from your XBOX 360 into your living room, and have spent the last hour connecting to Ami/X bbs's over Telnet.
Nevermind the 3000 floppies in my closet, books, accessories, and much much more.
I'm a little obsessed.
-
LOL I would say I am Commodore obsessed. Not just Amiga. I listen to C64 SIDS while cleaning the house. And a funny story....I urgently called my wife into the front room to show her the guru meditation error on the local cable station, and proudly announced "Look!...they use an Amiga to run their station.".....she looked at me like I was the biggest dork she ever saw.
Oh well...I guess to most I am. =)
-
You ask you help installing old equipment found on e bay and 25 great people respond, but a Pee Cee board would never even respond...Thanks for all the amiga help, Amiga Nut always
-
You have remind yourself that when someone calls you a Guru, they're not calling you a failure.
-
When you add up the sum total of all your Amiga Gear and Boxed Software and they are worth more than your car...
-
When your (night-time) dreams involve Amiga-related stuff!
I think this might have happened to me, too...
You know you're obsessed with Amiga when you write about Amigas at length in your 47-line university application personal statement. Four out of five universities have given me offers!
-
When you give up your whole house to the storage of Amiga kit.

You install a reset button on your classic A1200 to preserve the CTRL Amiga Amiga keys
or
You know how many times per minute the internal drive clicks without even thinking about it
-
... even after you stopped using a real Amiga for daily computing, you still hang on hope for a proper NG solution...
-
You wish you could stop replying to 'You know you are obsessed with Amiga when' threads
-
You have dozens of projects requiring your attention, in all requiring about 1500 hours of work to complete... but you'd be happy to tinker the day away on an Amiga 1200 project.
I think this qualifies as insanity.
-
... when you have a 100% activity rating on Amiga.org - the world's premiere Amiga site.
-
...when your office looks like a body shop, I mean, with spare parts for every kind of model.
...when you collect 20 year old Amiga World magazines
-
.....When you spend days just to come up wit ha better 'You know you're obsessed with Amiga when' post. ;^)
