How Long Have You Been An Amiga User...

[Franko]

How long have you been an Amiga user. So's not to leave anyone out this time I'm including anyone using just an emulator or any type of Amiga OS system/Hardware as long as it is Amiga... (ie: not just so called Classic Hardware)...

Heck I'm feeling so generous here I'll even allow those of you who went away from the Amiga scene to other platforms (Boo, Hiss) and then saw the light and came back (Yeah...) to best computer system ever, to count from when you got your very first Amiga...

1) less than 1 Year
2) 1 to 3 years
3) 4 to 6 years
4) 7 to 9 years
5) 10 to 12 years
6) 13 to 15 years
7) 16 to 18 years
19 to 21 years
9) 22 to 24 years
10) 25+ years

(hope I've covered everyone this time, as me flak jackets getting a bit shot full of holes these days... :lol: )

It's kinda weird (and a wee bit scary) when you look at the actual number of years of your life that you've been into the Amiga for, sometimes wonder what other computer I'd have been into if the Amiga hadn't come along, or worse what if home computers hadn't been invented at all... :eek:

lol

Same here, my Mum and Dad finally saved up enough money to buy me the Batpack A500 for Christmas '89 when I was 12yrs old.

Best xmas day ever!

Gawd, 12 years old in 1989, that make's me feel decrepit, I thought everyone was born in the 60's... :lol:

Come on who said over 25 years as the Amiga 1000 is 25 :-)

I said 22-24, got mine 87.

Me for one, the Amiga was first launched in the USA in 1985 under the name Commodore Amiga in 86 it was renamed the A1000. Me and two mates had pre ordered ours in 85 as part of the first consignment shipped to the UK and were as far as I know amongst the very first A1000 users in the UK at the very end of 85 start of 86.

So give or take a couple of months and as it's nearly the end of 2010 and almost 2011 it's actually just past the 25 year mark thus the 25+ option and for those in the states who bought the very first batch ever produced it's definitely 25 years + for them...

@ actung_bab

I've been an Amiga User since 1985 and I've never used anything else but an Amiga at home as my computer and I never will... I doubt many can also claim that YES of course I know most of you are thankful you're not in this tiny faction... but it sure feels cool from where I'm sitting and that's a fact

At last...

I always knew I wasn't the only one in this world, it's nice to know there's at least one more sensible soul out their...
