Which Classic Amigas do you own?

[Karlos]

Unsurprising to see the A1200 / A500(+) machines in the lead.

[nicholas]

Do Kickstart ROM chips and varous empty cases, Amiga floppy drives and IC's count?

[Buzzfuzz]

I got all of them except A3000 D/T and CDTV and 4000T, I wish I had them also, but maybe in the near future.
Already spent a fortune this year!

Over the years I've had most of them (except the 3000 and 4000) in various editions and models, with various franken-1200's upgraded to the hilt.

NONE... YOU VOTED NONE...

Brings a tear to my eye that does...

If we all chip in together I reckon we could maybe get enough cash together to buy nicholas a second hand miggy on ebay, or maybe some glue and a soldering iron and he could build his own from the various bits n pieces he has...

Good grief man how can you live without an Amiga... :eek:

Filling out this poll made me realize I still have too many Amigas.

[Kesa]

I'm surprised so many people are using A1000's. I didn't really think many people used them

Owning and using aren't the same thing.

Donate one to nicholas then, he needs it...

(still can't help feeling sad for the poor guy... )

My inferior NTSC machines with 110V power supplies could probably be obtained locally in PAL format with correct PSUs cheaper than it'd be to ship them overseas.

Do we really need to?    

I've seen Amigas on ebay for about 5 dollars! I wish i bought that A1000 a couple of months ago as i've always wanted one. It was only $12 i think...  :rolleyes:

The poll is not about using, it is about owning.  That said, I sold my A1000 because I never used it!  (However, I did like its keyboard.)

But really, do 3 out of 4 active members on this board own an A1200?  They're certainly not the most common here in the US.

I'd noticed that the A1200 doesn't seem to be too big over the pond, seems it was mainly sold in the UK & Europe. Is there a reason for this or are you just skinflints over there in the US...

The Amiga boom in the US happened first and it tended to be more big-box machines rather than the home computer keyboard-only format that was popular here.

Speaking as someone in the US who was "into" computers in the 90's (albeit only in my early teens when the 1200 came out,) I don't recall very much advertising at all for Amiga systems.  The last commercials I recall for Amiga were A500 era.  Maybe I was just too busy playing Nintendo and fighting with Apple IIe's and 8088s, who knows.

You must've been too busy playing the Nintendo, cos I've been gathering all the old Amiga ads from the net to put together on my sight and 90% of them are US ads...
