Probably a couple of thousand active users, using a broad definition but not counting those who only use emulators to play retro games.


Unfortunately I'm one of these users who only uses an emulator at the moment. Having used an, A600 and A1200 in the past (sold the last one in Dec '98).

However, with the release of OS4 I'm planning to get an A1 - if/when OS4 is release........ ;-)

It should be this core of ex-users Aminga Inc target when the new OS is released - should give a steady boost to initial sales.

I was discussing this with someone on IRC some while ago.

How many Amiga users are there nowadays anyway (depends on how you define 'Amiga user' anyway).

It seem to be enough for some company's to sustain themselves on.

Does anyone know some numbers on this ?


If anyone wants to get their PC to look like the old Amiga's try this site:

Workbench Themes

You need to d/load a program called window blinds to use these but at least it can remind you until the new OS4 arrives.......

To remind myself of AmigaOS I just run MorphOS.



There is a slight difference in download time between the two!!

Even for me on ADSL - god knows how long you must wait on dial up for AROS to d/load.
