Poll for WhatIFF?

amifan · 04 February 2023, 09:17

I am doing this poll on Twitter as well, I thought it would be interesting to see how much time Amiga users spend on their Amiga per week. It would be great to get the same info from EAB users, though I guess there might be cross-over data.

Question: A quick poll for the magazine, how many hours do you spend on your Amiga a week?

1) Less than one hour a week

2) More than two hours/week

3) More than five hours/week

4) More than ten hours/week

Mine is purely emulated right now as I don’t have the space for my machines. It almost entirely in service for the articles I write for Amiga Addict.

It's very difficult to give an average number of weekly hours as work etc. gets in the way most of the time. 0h/week in the busiest times, but when there's time it can be several hours a day.

I'll say 1h/week for 2022. Could be different this year.

If I can make a suggestion, change the first category to "less than 2 hours a week"

I can understand that writing to a monthly schedule, emulation is definitely more convenient and a time saver.

Same here, some years I am really busy on the Amiga and others just things seem to get in the way. I wills see if I can edit the poll, thanks for the suggestion

I've moved on from my Next-gen Amigas to Haiku. I'd be in the less than 2 hours category.

An hour a night, sometimes two. I put 5 / week since thats guaranteed.

Yep, realised after I had published the poll my mistake, couldn`t see a way to edit the poll afterwards.

More than 2 hours a week. Mainly for gaming and sometimes watching demos. No serious work atm.
