Me an my brother got a C=128 when i was about 4. We got an amiga when i started school. I found a couple of my old disks the other day and realised i had used my amiga for school papers until I started senior high (16-17 years old).

I guess what attracted me was the trackers and the adventuregames. I also used to love messing around in AmigaOS and Amos, however, it was always Octamed and Beneath a steel sky for me.

I still use my amiga for music and games, but little else.

I'm 24 and studying musical science.

I'm 26. My first computer was an A500 for Christmas when I was about 3. It was the Amiga that started my computing hobby, so it will always have a special place in my heart.

I'm 28. I've been member of PC demoscene and at the parties, I admired Amigas so this was the time my obsession started. I see most people who write here are around 30 years anyway, so it's nice (and rare) that even younger are amongst us :]

I'm using A1230 with many cool peripherals.

It still seems like yesterday when we were in the year 2000 with all those important decisions. I was only 23 at the time:(

I don't think most of us will get to 60 and still moan about Amigas though:) If the platform doesn't find a niche market we'll all leave it sooner or later, even for retro stuff.
