Conclusion...
Well I reckon I'll leave it to someone else to analyze and conclude just what makes the up the typical Amiga.org member in the year 2010, but a quick glance tells you we are all basically mad and seem to enjoy nothing more than answering silly polls posted by nosey buggers like myself who definitely have too much time on their hands... :)

After a rigorous statistical breakdown, taking into account all demographics, variance, seasonal adjustment and factors to numerous to go into here, I can reveal the one overriding fact that emerges from these data:
Pancakes!
That is to say, your polls need more of them.

No way. Has to be Waffles!

Why pick on our Eastern European brethren, let them eat cake I say... (much nicer than pancakes... :))
(Oi, you cheated, you corrected your spilling mistook...)

I would say more... the answer is 42!!!

Are you the type of person who is a member, but doesn't participate in polls?
0%
Hmm.. so everyone answered the polls.. Nice..
;-)

Not yet, but now that I see it I will :lol:

A better PPC accelerator poll
I'm not interested. = 28.41%
Well, you only have extrated the most voted of a multiple options poll, and all others option are of people that are interested and it all added are nearly 50% so it is obvious that you have taken data for have a specific average user profile that match your personal taste

For shame Franko!
Hopefully as CEO of Commodore Scotland you can help rectify this situation!

This makes about zero sense.

Alternatively, he's posted the most-voted option from every single poll and provided links to each poll for people who want to know what the deal with a specific poll is. But that's just crazy talk!

@ Fransexy
Erm... still trying to figure out what you mean, but here my guess... :confused:
So what your saying for example is, Take one of those TV Talent shows the winner is not the one with the most votes but he/she is in fact the loser because if you add up all the other votes for all the other contestants and they come to more than the winners vote total, then the winner is actually the loser and everyone else wins instead, is that what you mean... :)
Plus you picked the worst example to match my personal taste I use a PPC and am a fan of the PPC so I don't see how that matches my personal taste...
There's just no pleasing some folk is there... :roflmao:
@ Jorkany
Well as CEO then I'm the boss and can do as I ruddy well please, so in this case I say sod it, the polls stand as they are, everyone is fired and I'm off down the pub where my accountant can total up my money and polish my shoes just before I fire him too... :roflmao:

Very nice Franko -- except that you have the percentage wrong on the "Where in the World" poll. You forgot to include the UK, which is clearly a member of the European Union, in that percentage. No reply necessary, but I gather that I'm going to get one anyway. :^)

Awe naw not this again, this was well debated in the thread the option was Europe not European Union, two entirely different things... :)
Read the arguments about it in thread, cos there's not point in repeating them here again... :)
Sorry but I like to be polite and reply anyway... :lol:

Cool

I wonder if this is off-topic or not, considering the thread is about the "Typical Amiga.org Member in 2010"?
The current AW poll about a new accelerator has received 3 times the number of respondents compared to the amiga.org poll being referred to. Since amiga.org is acknowledged to be the home of most classic users, it does beg the question whether the AW poll is mostly a result of amiga.org members responding.
If so, the results in so short a time are somewhat interesting, imo.

Only26.90% of users approve of a PPC future? Argh! 2 out of 3 NG OS' are PPC based.

Where I come from that is what we like to call a "clue".

Where I come from (using a PPC OS) I'd call it clueless.
Everyone voices their opinions, but who backs up their opinions with a purchase (you know - sticking your money where your mouth is)? AOS 4.X and MorphOS users.
With all the posts favoring X86, you'd think Franko's poll would have produced more AROS users.

That's my fault, sorry, but as I didn't include AROS or MorphOS at the start of the poll, it's probably no quite a true representation as I had to get Karlos to modify the poll later on to rectify the complaints that the poll received from Aros & MorphOS users... :o

Does anyone here really beileve that these polls accurately represent anything?
It looks to me that less than 5% of the members of this site even bother to vote on any of them, so I would not seriously consider the results to represent a Typical Amiga.org Member in 2010, or any other year.
Enjoy them for what they really are, a way to pass time for someone with more time than they know what to do with.

Of course these are fun polls, not scientific ones. But keep in mind that political polls/estimates are determined by *much* less than 5% of actual registered voters. These Amiga polls do convey a certain amount of information -- though certainly the error bars are pretty large.

Dave! Don't insult the retro computer users. They'll get huffy and pout.
Besides, we already know what you'd move to.
