please add additional options, if possible:
No - Had GPUs, will keep mining
No - Had FPGAs, will keep mining
No - Had mix of both, will keep mining
Yes - new to bitcoin and going ASIC

I know these will likely have few responses but I am interested in if anyone is considering those options.
You could condense the first 3 into "I will mine with what I have now (before ASICS) for a long time!"

I know that once I move to ASIC, I will keep GPU mining in the winter to avoid using my oil heater. Even in the summer, I will likely keep my 5830 single unit mining.

Added.

getting out

i see interest in bitcoin as a whole falling drastically w/ introduction of specialized equipment for 'mining'

@ current price, i'll keep the GPUs running until 4m diff

oh, seeing as how jeff got his ASIC, I imagine that korean node that's been reporting blocks probably has one too
