I used amiga's since I was very young (probably 1995/1996).

The person who moved in next door worked at a school that used amigas and I got to borrow one during the holidays. At my school we had Macs and BBCs (my current comprehensive school still uses BBCs in the science department).

I then bought an amiga from the school in 1997.

So I have had an amiga for quite a loing time.

Hmm, 43  :crazy:

Computers ? I still have my A1200T/030 and theres lots of pc's around:
1. XP3000 desktop
2. P3 700 Mhz desktop
3. P3 1000 Mhz laptop
4. P3 1200 Mhz laptop
5. P3 600 Mhz laptop
6. P3 800Mhz laptop

And they spend most of their time looking for Aliens for the Seti "Amiga Org" team :-) (See http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=33303 )
Oh and I still have a ZX81 with its 16k ram pack too.

Just gonna add to my list here

1x BBC - in storage (thanks for jogging my memory Steve30)
1x Amstrad that runs GEM
1x HP Journada 430
1x Everex Freestyle
1x SE P900
1x SE P910i
1x Sega Megadrive
1x Gameboy (the original ones - not the colour or anything)

Why the surprise in so many younger users? The Amiga was the computer so many of us had as kids. I remember my brother getting his A500 in about 1990 when I was about 8 or so & then selling it a few years later - I hated him for that! Had a vic 20 & a C64 before that. My Mum works in a school & would bring a BBC or an Acorn 3000 home for me to use on holidays. That could be how I managed to liberate the A4 laptop :-D
A1200T 060/66 - my new baby
A1200 030/40 OS3.9
Athlon X64 3400 UAE 1.2 OS3.9

Heh! I always used to want one of those - printing on real white-ish paper, rather than Sinclair's silver astro-bog-roll dispenser!

And some of the later ones had sound (well, beeper) amplifiers built in to assist the Spectrum's rather feeble buzzer!

and I wouldnt say no to an original Sinclair QL either !
(I got the green eyed monster over me shoulder reading of ZX interface 1's and microdrives - I hankered for those in my teens !)


Well, to make you more green-eyed (sorry!), I bought one QL, fully boxed and in great condition, with lots of Microdrive cartridges, for the princely sum of £5 at a radio/electronics fair about 10 years ago in the UK... Bargain!

What's the average age at now?

In case my message of reaching 25 for the 2nd time around was mistaken for 26, it should actually be 49, soon to be the BIG 50.

As for those listing their computers, here's whats keeping my house warm:

2x A1000
2x A500 - 1x w/A530
2x CDTV
2x CD32 - 1x new - never opened
1x A2000 w/060
3x A3000D - 2x w/040 Warp Engines
1x A4000D
3x A4000T - 1x Escom 1x ToasterOven & 1 PowerTower 2x w/CSPPC's
2x A1200 - 1x 030 & 1x 060 w/SCSI
1x Mac PowerBook 1gHz G4
1x AMD64 3000+ w/WinUAE

 :-o
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

3rd PET (chiclets keyboard)

5th Trash 80
6th CBM 8032
7th Vic20
