How many active Amigas exists in the world?

[Tiago]

I dont know how is the situation in Uk, but here in PT, i used to have more then 10 friends with Amigas back in early 90s. Now, i dont know anyone here, i fell alone in my country
I am going to make a very simple website in Portuguese with photos of my A1200 and banners to link to classicaamiga.com and exlpain a litle bit how to buy. i hope that gets any atention thru Portuguese and Brazilian old fans.

I search for any homepages about Amiga in Portugal and i didnt find anything....
In brazil there are some pages.

I'm quite sure there are still plenty of people about who have Amigas (even in Portugal!), but as to how many are still actively using one? I'd wager it's not a whole lot. Simple consumer behaviour ... once there are bigger toys out, one tends to flock over to the new toys, leaving old ones collecting dust in a dark corner. There's also space constraints to take into account; not everyone can afford to stick both an Amiga, PC, console (with accompanying monitor/display) in their homes without running out of space.

your are right Sharingan, and many of them have Amigas but dont go to foruns or websites to much, so is quite difficult to say a number.

Talking about active people, that have an Amiga set up and working, i think we are no more them 5000...
there are a lot of people that dont have an Amiga but are into emulation, so that number will be bigger...

Sounds like a great idea to try and attract more people from other countries back to the Amiga scene.

If you want to do this you are more than welcome to host the site on the classicamiga server, and can have a classicamiga.com subdomain to host it under if that would be of interest.

I would expect a few thousand at least (including emulation users). You only have to look at the amount of people registered on forums to work out that there must be lots of people who are at least still interested in Amigas.

Well, yes, there are a lot of people still interested. Just look at the classicamiga visitor statistics to prove that. Last month we had about 90,000 unique visitors to the site, so all of those are interested in some way (except for those visiting from search results by mistake), but I doubt most still have a working real Amiga.
