SURVEY

We randomly chose 100 Amiga users who registered Capital Punishment a year ago, and sent them a short survey. We wanted to see what was happening with Amiga users who used to be actively involved with Amiga games a year ago.

(see bottom for explanation)

First question shows that 7% of Amiga users are no longer having an Amiga after one year. This is not a big number, especially considering this survey does not show how many new Amiga owners there are. Furthermore, 5 of those 7 users had plain 1200s (2Mb RAM + small HD), so it seems that those who never experienced the true power of Amiga are more prone to leaving it. Users having more powerful hardware also explains why only 57% upgraded their CPU.

Note: Results to all questions but first relate to those users who still have an Amiga.
