are there any NEW Users of Amiga machines out there?

I consider myself new, to Amiga that is, since around 2010.

I was born and raised Atari in the late 70s early 80s. Moved to Atari ST in early 90s. Then when the Ataris and Commodores of the day were folding, I moved onto Mac around mid 90s for business, pleasure, etc...

Then 2010 came, I stumbled across news of the X1000.  Went nuts and purchased many older Amiga systems, basically tinkering until X1000 came out, then sold all the old stuff once I purchased a SAM 440ep as I found I really only wanted NG Amiga and OS 4.x (other than the A1000 I have kept as I feel it is bad ass).

Now I consider myself a part-time Amiga user, preferring my nostalgia stuff stay Atari, NeXT, Apple, and BeBox, but the X1000 on my office desk is my day to day fun for learning Amiga on while the SAM 440ep is backup.

Now that I am about to leave the IT industry work wise, I plan on diving much more into learning Amiga 1000 and OS 4.1.x along with maybe finally buying a MorphOS license for my Mac Mini G4 1.5ppc.

So yup, fairly new Amiga addict here that was not one back in the hey day as I preferred other platforms.  But now at least I see what all the Amiga folks were excited about.  :laugh1:

Ah wow, no offence but I had you down as being a lot older than born late 70s/80s, I thought you were some retired guy with a nice collection of classic machines.  Had no idea you were late 20s/30s though, think I've only ever heard your voice on your vids.

Um, no, you misunderstand.  I was a teen during that time, born in the 60s, so when Atari came out with the 2600 in the 70s, that is where I started.  So, I am in my mid to later 40s.  :banana:

So born 60s, a kid of the 70s and 80s, when I could afford to buy my own gear.

Now I would guess you ar actually in your later 20s early to mid 30s.
