I was a serious Amiga user till about 1999 (from '89 I guess). I got really despondant when new software and machines stopped appearing, and the magazines went. I never dropped out completely, still looked on the major forums.
Now i'm back as a hobbyist, as opposed to a hardcore user. Just enjoying using the machine again, for what it could/can do. Rather than waiting for some mythical rebirth. (....which would still be nice though!)
