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.

Very roughly, somewhere between 92 minutes 14 seconds and 453 minutes 52 seconds per day, every day.
Roughly.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Man, I wish I had an A1000 again. I'd probably get too hack crazy again though.

I voted pancakes. I don't have an Amiga, and while UAE is a good emulator, it isn't the same as the real thing.

I use my Amiga 1200/2000 several times a week and sometimes daily. It depends though, I've got other retro systems/consoles (like MSX, Atari XL, Spectrum, ZX81 and C64 just to name a few) I play around with and I only have so much time to spend.

So there are periods I don't turn my Amiga's on for a while because I'm using one of the other systems.

Agreed, but that's not always a bad thing. UAE fit's in my pocket these days. Would need pretty big pockets to put an A1200, display and battery pack in there :D

I'd like to start a poll, "How often do you trip over an Amiga?" but I'm too lazy.

Well if you did... my answer would be, at least twice a day (sometimes more if I've had a double dose of me meds by mistake...) :)

Off topic, but these days whenever someone mentions pockets I cant help but think of the Brak Show (I think that's what it's called, it's been a while) Christmas Special and the conversation that is something to the effect of, "you cant have sex with your pants up right Dad?", "not unless you've got special pockets son".

Bizarre show (as are most of the adult swim cartoons) along with Harvey Birdman Attourney At Law, Sea Lab, Space Ghost (the same spaceghost from early morning kids cartoons from the early 80's, but he's now a talk show host). If a person wants to experience a drug like intoxication withough trying drugs, the Adult Swin cartoon hour is the best way to do it.
