Do Kickstart ROM chips and varous empty cases, Amiga floppy drives and IC's count?


NONE... YOU VOTED NONE...

Brings a tear to my eye that does... :(

If we all chip in together I reckon we could maybe get enough cash together to buy nicholas a second hand miggy on ebay, or maybe some glue and a soldering iron and he could build his own from the various bits n pieces he has... :)

Good grief man how can you live without an Amiga... :eek:

Filling out this poll made me realize I still have too many Amigas.


Donate one to nicholas then, he needs it... :)

(still can't help feeling sad for the poor guy... :( )

The poll is not about using, it is about owning.  That said, I sold my A1000 because I never used it!  (However, I did like its keyboard.)

But really, do 3 out of 4 active members on this board own an A1200?  They're certainly not the most common here in the US.


I'd noticed that the A1200 doesn't seem to be too big over the pond, seems it was mainly sold in the UK & Europe. Is there a reason for this or are you just skinflints over there in the US... :)

Speaking as someone in the US who was "into" computers in the 90's (albeit only in my early teens when the 1200 came out,) I don't recall very much advertising at all for Amiga systems.  The last commercials I recall for Amiga were A500 era.  Maybe I was just too busy playing Nintendo and fighting with Apple IIe's and 8088s, who knows.


You must've been too busy playing the Nintendo, cos I've been gathering all the old Amiga ads from the net to put together on my sight and 90% of them are US ads... :)
