How Often Do You Use An Amiga...

Ok haven't done a poll for a while so for all of you guys who dont like them and think there naff here's another one just to get you riled up again... :lol:

How often do you use an Amiga... this time it doesn't matter whether its real hardware or an emulator or even what you do with it...

The question is quite simple and doesn't leave anyone out this time... (you know who you are, always feeling left out with my polls... :))

1. Every Day
2. Several Times A Week
3. Once A Week
4. Several Times A Month
5. Once A Month
6. Several Times A Year
7. Once A year
8. Can't Remember
9. Never Used One
10. Pancakes With Syrup

I'm enjoying those pancakes, while I make up my mind on how to pull those siamesed A2000s out of storage. It'll take some work, they haven't been fired up in around fifteen years.

Couple of times a year - mostly WinUAE, with maybe my A500 booted up once in a blue moon...

Well, it used to be several times a year... But now my A1200 seems dead... I think UAE is the only way forward... I am keen keen on the Replay board or Clone-A.... Or any AGA MiniMig. That might be a little something to keep me interested ;)

the closest one for me is about "Several Times A Month..."

sometimes more, sometime less, most of the time I must admit its on Amiga forever/uae usually just to play a quick old game I miss, but sometime I boot up the old girl for more amiga fun and I must admit even though my emulator version is mostly likely quicker in every way I still get more fun from my real Amiga, the only problem I have is re-adjusting to the old sty mouse, pc spoils me with a lazer mouse, my amiga only has a ball, its the one thing I wish I could just plug into my Amiga, most likely could if I was willing to install hacks and usb etc, into my Amiga, but I dont want to.

I hope to get back on and back into amigas a bit more when I get an Os4 machine, I mean the main reason I dont use my amiga as much now is because of the lack of internet ability and hopefully OS4 will correct that soon with timberwolf.

Exactly! Used WinUAE twice already this morning whilst at work :roflmao:

(testing out Workbench installs, WinUAE on WB 1.3 is my 'screensaver' which stops people poking around my machine because none of them know how to get out of full screen mode haha)

I voted "Every Day", but there are occasional days when I don't turn a computer on at all because I'm busy with other stuff.

My Sam is my main computer at home but I'm stuck with Windows at work (where I am now, naughty ant!)

Several times a year, wish it be more, lack space in my apartment to be able of riging it up constantly, if I could my A600 would probably be used more often. It feels like I only use it for special occations.

With my AROS machine, almost everyday.
With my my Classics (A500, A2500, A1200), a couple times a year for old times sake.
With WinUAE, several times a month.
