89.

@1500
Well, I don't think 89 is bad. For example, if you have 30 Amigas you get 30 points for that. Some answers gives more than one point. Check the HTML source to see how unfair I've been :-)
There's not a 1080 in the monitor section :-(
I had to click on other 15khz even though MY monitor says Amiga and has a checkmark on it.

@Wain
It would have given you the same points anyway, so don't feel bad about it. If I would list EVERY piece of hardware you would die of old age before reaching the end ;-)
@carls
Ah - I see where I've clocked the points now - lots of upgrades and my 15-year old nightmare of a startup-sequence! :-)

I was thinking I'd get a humble score, looks like its pretty hard to get 200+ without lots of money/lies. ;-)
163 out of 436 = 63% pure.
If only I'd known two more people and umpteen programming languages, maybe a few more gfx proggies a little better, had more money...
...or maybe its better that I'm still marginally Amiga pure, since my normal purity score is abysmal ('Ever used a purity test as a checklist of things to do?'),

Hi benJamin :-)
No need to lie or get full o'money to go over 200 points :-D
Loving, using, having amigas since the very first time will suffice :-)
Personnaly the only Amigas I bought new in the box was my first A500 and my first A1200.
All the other ones was bought used at bargain prices, I made numerous "give your old hardware and get a brand new one for less" offers when I was an Amiga retailer, and I found uses for almost all the Amigas I got back like this and never sold them back ;-)
As a Commodore official dealer and Amiga enthusiastic user, I know very well about all it can be about it, have met almost every key man (or woman) behind it's creation until the demise of Commodore (except for Jay Miner, too late, I regret it a lot :cry: ) and read all I can get my hands on about it, and I'm still learning eighteen years later ;-)
And now, it is easyier and cheapper than ever to have a big Amiga collection, as some of us are selling their machines to get the new AmigaOnes or peg.
I love my Amigas, and will never sell them :-D

You've five years on me, I've accidently got an email from Carl Sassenrath, happy day...
I think I'll go over 200 when I get an A1 and actually release some of my work (I didn't tick 'cause I'd feel guilty ;-) ).
In reference to collecting, yes, it is the best time since my first A500 and other zealous and jealous friends of the era.
Maybe I'll buy PageStream for the A1 I don't have, with my Tax return. I do have 68k, and PageStream is my favourite power-app. after Cinema 4D... ;-)
Maybe I'll climb to the giddy heights of 220 someday. ;-D
An A1 would look nice with an A1200 and CD32 next to it, wouldn't it?

133 here, which, considering that I (a) haven't used AmigaOS as my primary OS for years and (b) have been completely overlooked by whatever deity handed out artistic talent - therefore finding myself unable to tick anything in the graphics/music creativity sections - is actually a respectable score.

OTOH, it reflects well on the richer folk that they spend their money on Amiga stuff. :)
I now see that CarlS reminded us of that it's just a simple test for fun, not a competition. This made me come to think of an actual competition among Swedish "professional overclockers". The one with the most megahertz would win. I guess the hardware dealers were extra happy while that lasted... ;) Big surprise: the guy who bought the fastest system won! 8-O

Well, search Aminet for Blazemonger and you just might find out.
Also, you could pick Snobol instead of Modula-2. The bizarreness factor should even out :-)
Oh, by the way. Scala's scripting language is called "Lingua" and I already have a Scala option in the Graphics/Multimedia section of the test.

What's so bizarre about Modula-2? There were at least 2 flavors of it for the Amiga, maybe more. I used Benchmark M2. Also, there was at least one flavor of Oberon, maybe more, but I decided that was too much typing and switched to AmigaE.
Also, I didn't check Boxer although I feel I own one even if I don't possess it :-(
