Final UK Amiga users Poll RESULT!

[Karlos]

Wow, Scottish and Welsh independence have come a long way, looking at that map :-D

On a serious note, I know I didn't take part in this poll (not intentionally, I only saw it in the last day or two and it seemed to be over then anyway) and there are 4 working amigas here...

Add one more to the north west ;-D

Okay! Okay! Okay! Look! anyone else still left in the UK who HASN'T Voted?

Many thanks!

I expect there's probably plenty TBH. I know a few people who are rarely inclined to take part in any kind of online poll.

It would be interesting if we knew the figures for say Europe.  Although I would have said the UK had one of the largest amount of Amiga users, who knows.

Nah, I reckon Germany and the Netherlands probably have more than the UK.

Sweden seems to have a few too, just looking at the people here and on aw.net.

Yeah well those people are probably the first to whine that they can't find x or y, won't attend amiga shows and to be honest do nothing positive towards the Amiga community.

As it says at the top, ACTIVE amiga users :-)

I dunno if that is entirely fair comment. The guys I know simply don't frequent forums in general. That doesn't mean they don't use or care about their machines. Also they don't moan about shows because they rarely know when/where they are since they don't frequent the forums to find out ;-)

Yes, agreed, UK has gone from being second in the world for numbers of Amiga users, to third rate. As I said, I reckon sweden and germany now have more users. Not sure about Netherlands though

I just thought of the Netherlands due to all the Groningers here :-D

Well, can't we get all these people in a room and slap them with a few wet kippers? Please?? :-)

:roflmao:

Norman says yes, provided he can wear his leather gimp suit.

As I said, they don't fit the definition of Active. :-)

They're just not particularly bothered about the web. One of the guys regularly betatests code for me in quite some depth but simply hates forums. I think he's been to a few shows though :-)

well look, if you can get me definite numbers and locations
I'll add them on

If you can get me exact addresses, I'll buy a truck load of wet kippers and go round to each and everyone of them

BTW, do these guys know that Commodore don't exist anymore? Do they know about AmigaOne/OS4??

Oh they know about the A1, OS4 and Pegsos/MOS. For one guy at least it was the nail in the coffin :-( He still has an A4K though.

Add one to London, and 2 to the NW (excluding me, whom I take it you already accounted for now) and that should be it.

I will mate, cheers.

BTW, next time you speak to the ones in London, could you mention my usergroup down there? They can pop down and try out OS4 at the next meeting for free

Will do. Alas he might be the toughest to persuade as he's the one the whole Red/Blue thing drove off.

[Karlos]

Did I? (reads back)

I mean 2 in the north west and 1 in london :-/
