35 is the number, but I feel much younger.

I bought my amiga in 1994, after using the C= 64.

In the mean time I used the Miggy only for making Music with Octamed. After a head-crash with the HD I realized I neglected the Amiga and now I take better care and be procautious.


I guess the average age should be around 30 ??

Frisby :-o
A1200,int. HD 250MB + ext. HD 2 GB SCSI
Blizzard 1230 Phase IV+SCSI 64 MB RAM
Yamaha PSR-540 + CASIO MT-640
C=64(brown and gray model) & A500

@Methuselas - no way are you only 900 years old - you look much older! :-D

I'm 44 - mentally still 17, look 144, feel 1044.

Had my first Amiga (A500+) when I was 29 (I think).
A1200, M-Tec 1230 @28MHz, FPU, MMU, 8Mb fast ram, SCSI card, 512Mb HD, Power CDROM drive, PS2 optical mouse

@CannonFodder

Hmmm - you look at little 'mature' for a seventeen yearold.  Is that your real age or have you been 'around the block' a bit?

May be it's not you?  If it's not you - is it your grapes???

It's proper bo I tell thee.

39... apparently life begins this year :-/

My first copy of Amiga Format is the September 1991 issue (DPaint IV coverdisk) and my first amy, an A500, was about a month or so after that.

Collection is now:

1x A1200 with 1960
2 x A2000
2 x A6000
1 x CD32
2 x A500, still looking for a Roctec external HD like I used to have.

227 ages recorded.

Total "experience": 7731 years

Averages:
Mean   : 34
Median : 32
Mode   : 28

Averages with oldest and youngest 10 people removed turn out to be the same, so we're not seeing corrupted data by oldies or young'uns :)
