I guess this is in response to the WarPipers "Bailing Out".

So I suppose the questin that it raised for me was, when does a person discovered that they have "bailed out" or what happens when they do?

I don't know if there are any people out there that only have an Amiga (or 5) and no other machines. Over the years, as I have more options, I have used the Amiga less and less often. These days I find myself using the iBook quite a lot. The PC is a paperweight and only gets turned on when it absolutely has to. My Amiga still gets a workout every couple of days, even though the hardware is old and she can hardly stay up for more than a few hours without having a seizure. Sometimes she won't even boot without getting her bits jiggled.

But, how infrequently do you use the Amiga before you decide you have thrown in the towel, or do you throw in the towel and then not use it anymore?

Are there still people here who have only one computer and it's an Amiga and are feeling trapped by it?


I think someone "bailing out" would be someone who goes and never looks back. I don't think that people who still hope for a future Amiga are true bail outs. They'll just need some incentive to get back to "normal" again. Although I don't use My Amiga's as often, I still talk it up at every chance I get. Even at a monthly PC gaming LAN that attend. At the LAN they are talking about having a Worms World tourny. I then suggested that a WormsDC tourny would be better. I will take along the A1200's I have laying around, and I will get people to play worms DC on them ;) Oh well, the other gamers do know that I am a little crazy about Amiga's. What, with all the Amiga stickers on my PC boxes and my Amiga Mouse mat. I think taking alon A1200's to play WormsDC will freak them out totally ;)
