Amiga users, Are we the only hardcore followers?

Ok I was just wondering?

Are there other user groups like us from the 80's that still hang on to our trusty old computers (not people that are colecting them but still using them), or are there lots of others out there like us?
Examples are:
Atari
Apple II, IIe etc.
C64
any others?

Do you think that the Amiga is on a comeback?

Given that there really is not any new development in the Amiga comunity or at least one that stays for some time without changing hands a several times before dissapering I would have to agree. Its just a fun thing to do. I even think sometimes that I have spent way to much on my Amiga setup. But the fact of the matter is that I enjoy it and I do still make some money off of the video editing side of my system so why not? To do the same on the PC would involve thousands of more $$ invested.

 :laughing: Frozen bannanas work great in Bannana bread I do it often.

Seriously I was just qurious about what people thought about there Amiga hobby. I dont want this to become a shouting match or a debate as to what is better.

I truly dont think that the Amiga is an a comback but its intresting to see several new users on A.O. that were not even around when the Amiga first came around.

 :lol:  If you can get a small curent out of a potato then why not a Bannana :-)

You also should note that the Amiga outsold the PC two to one in the late 80's in the UK next only to the Macintosh. It was only when the PII was introduced with windowz 95 that the PC really took off.(in the North Amarican market it just never got a real good hold but still did well in 3rd place)
The Amiga community has always held on to it because it was and still is a great user friendly system to use and quit easy to understand how to operate. I still love with OS 3.5/3.9 how small the footprint is and what it can do.
