Do you hide your Amiga computer addiction?

[GadgetMaster]

No matter how much the technology world changes there is always fun to be had with Amiga computers.

For some it's a retro hobby but for some it is the only computer they ever use.

Given that other technologies have surpassed the capabilities of our favourite machines, do you find it embarrassing to admit you are still an Amiga Junkie or do you openly flout or even still evangelise it?

It would be interesting to get a snapshot of how the Amiga scene stands in this particular stage in in time.

The poll is multi choice and anonymous. Try to be as honest as possible.

I openly and proudly flout my Amiga hobby by having my A3000 proudly on display and actively participating on this site

"No I openly and proudly flout my Amiga hobby"

I even took it further than that, we needed an AT&T Unix machine at work; I took my fully installed and running A3000UX to work. She was even placed in a Dell 19" rack in between PowerEdge servers and an EMC SAN. How cool is that?!

I too am open and proud about my Amiga addiction. The only thing i have hidden (mainly from my wife) is the amount of money i have spent on the recently purchased A2000HD which has joined my growing collection of Amiga's.

And you admitted that on a public forum?

Just wait until she reads this over your shoulder. :argue:

It's so cool I wish you had taken a photo! :afro:

Nope, I'm proud of my Amiga heritage... But it no longer enters conversation. It has now been so long since the Amiga was relavent in both my personal and professional life, no one ever makes a ref to them. Technology over 10years is off the radar!

There's no hiding it! I have over 30 computers in the house!

Where do you work?!

My Amiga1200 is proudly on display in my front room along side the Wii and PS3. Why hide something as great as the Amiga?

Ok, it doesnt come up in conversation on a day to day basis but for the people who remember it its a great nostalgia trip. Anyone who comes to mine always asks to play on the Amiga rather than the PS3 or Wii.

most of my amiga gear is on display permantly in my front room,
as in all over the place :-)

in fact i met a guy the other day who use to come and sortout my amiga
i havent seen him for 8yrs, and he was suprised that i still have my amiga :-)

How could I hide it?


I have an entire room full of all my Amiga gear...

Lately I've even started taking my A4000's Cf hd to work so I can code on the miggy through Winuae at lunchtime!

I used to have so many Amigas in my old home and showed them off now though I can`t afford to have all those Amigas but I proudly have the A1200 and CD32 in the front room, even my wife has started to show her appreciation with the Amiga.  Oddly enough actually the Amiga comes up at least a few times a week in my conversations.  Got good mates!

I have a few of the Amiga shirts they sell on Ebay, and at work, I am always reading Amiga books and manuals, so I get a lot of inquires about it. Most people that are old enough to remember, are always saying how they "regret" giving up their Amiga's and have nothing but good memmories about it.

Do you really mean flout? Or flaunt?
