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

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"


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

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

YNWA!

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??

YNWA!

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.

@Karlos

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.

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.


Yep, totally agree and if you look, I said "the UK had one of the largest amount of Amiga users, who knows".

Basically, I would say the UK is in the top 5 of Amiga user bases.  Kinda worrying when u look at those figures.. especially to Eyetech I would imagine.

What about France ?
503 people registered in the "annuaire" (however these are Francophones, about 50 do not live in France).

Here is the map
